New and different functional food companies are always fun and interesting, as it is a space wide open for a variety of takes and interpretations, and that is what we have right here with an introduction to the Canadian creative, Sweet Nutrition. The bright and colorful competitor is essentially a cookie specialist, as currently it only has products in the classic, circular cookie format, but there are two varieties to choose from, depending on whether you want a better-for-you treat or extra protein.
Sweet Nutrition’s two items are Sugar Free Cookies and Protein Cookies. The former does indeed have no sugar and as low calories as possible without sacrificing taste and texture, and Protein Cookies is similarly-minded, but instead of no sugar, the goal is high protein and moderate calories. The Sugar Free Cookies have a reasonable nutrition profile; made with almond flour, coconut oil, brown sugar, and the likes of erythritol and xylitol, you get a gram of protein per cookie, 5g of fat, 3.33g of carbohydrates, and 57 calories.
As for Sweet Nutrition’s Protein Cookies, their calories are in a not-too-distant area, but the balance is not the same, especially since the main ingredients include a variety of protein sources like whey and milk concentrate, and micellar casein, as well as butter and almond flour. The protein isn’t supremely high in these at 2.67g a piece, and the rest of the macros are much more in line with the Sugar Free Cookies at that same 5g of fat, 3.33g of carbohydrates, 2g of that is sugar on this one, and you get 66 calories.
The word on the eating experience of the Sugar Free Cookies and Protein Cookies is Sweet Nutrition is true to its word in that it delivers sweet, soft, and smooth cookies, with great flavors to choose from either way you go: no sugar or high protein. Directly through the brand’s website, you can get six sizeable 70g pouches of cookies at $29.94 (21.90 USD) with three flavors for each variety in Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and Birthday Cake for Sugar Free, and Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Strawberry Cheesecake for the Protein Cookies.
