Yumtein is a young and growing functional food company that is well worth checking out if you like snacking alternatives that are high in protein and low in carbohydrates and sugar. More importantly, the format the brand has stuffed all of this into is a classic candy format in gummy bears. Yumtein also has more flavors than you could want to choose from at seven, all sweet and fruit-based and packing the same sort of macros for whenever you need a solid hit of protein.
The high-protein gummy bears from Yumtein have 15g of protein from whey isolate and collagen in a sizeable 60g pouch, none of that fat, and while there is 41g of carbohydrates, only 4g of that is sugar and 11g fiber, working out to just 5g of net carbs thanks to its use of allulose and chicory root. That balance of protein to low carbohydrates leads to a damn impressive calorie count of just 110, meaning two bags total 220 calories, similar to most bars, but with 30g of protein.
As mentioned, there are several flavors available for Yumtein, and they are Blue Raspberry, Grape, Green Apple, Pineapple, Strawberry, Cherry, and Watermelon. They all have that 15g of protein from a blend that’s whey isolate and collagen, and if you want to give them a try, they’re not that expensive. Over at yumtein.com, you can get individual bags for $4.99, and while there is a bundle of six, that’s the same $5 each unless you get the variety pack with one of each flavor at $29.99.
