Chocolite Protein Cookies N Cream Bar (Sugar Free)

Chocolite Protein Cookies N Cream BarAfter experiencing the delicious and nutritious sugar free Chocolite Protein Peanut Butter Bar, I decided to go through my stash and try another flavor. The Chocolite Protein Cookies N Cream Bar looked like just the thing to have after a long hard workout.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 34 grams
Calories: 95
Total Fat: 3 grams, 5%
Saturated Fat: 2 grams, 10%
Sodium: 135 mg, 6%
Carbohydrates: 17 grams
Fiber: 9 grams, 38%
Sugars: 0 grams
Sugar Alcohols: 4 grams
Protein: 9 grams

I opened the bar to taste it and found a nice milky chocolate flavor with a chewy texture, along with a caramel layer on the bottom that was delicious ... I wouldn't say that there was a cookies n cream flavor, but it was still tasty just the same.

Each 34 gram Chocolite Protein Cookies N Cream Bar is gluten- and sugar-free, and provides 95 calories, 3 grams of total fat, 2 grams of which is saturated, 9 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar alcohols plus 9 grams of protein and fiber (38% of the daily value). There is also a slew of vitamins and minerals (15-30% for each).

The ingredients list starts with a protein blend of non-GMO Soy Protein Isolate and Whey Protein Isolate. These bars are available online at Netrition, $16.99 for a box with 16 bars (+ shipping).

Considering that fiber and protein account for more than 75% of the calories, this is a pretty good snack, and it's tasty too. BUT if something is described as having a "cookies n cream" flavor, then my taste buds start expecting that - and this just doesn't deliver on that promise. So for that reason, I prefer the Chocolite Protein Peanut Butter Bar.

Chocolite Protein Peanut Butter Bar (Sugar Free)

Chocolite Protein Peanut Butter BarJust check out all the Chocolite reviews, and you'll see that brand has some of our favorite products. I've already gone nuts over some of their protein bars, like the Chocolite Protein Triple Chocolate Bar (Sugar Free) and Chocolite Protein Chocolate Turtle Protein Bar - so why not try another flavor?! I picked up the Peanut Butter variety and wasted no time in trying it out.

The combo of peanut butter and chocolate is pure heaven for me, so I had high hopes for this protein bar. At just 100 calories per package, I was excited to find a high-protein, low-calorie, gluten free snack (or dessert). I opened my bar and examined the flat, chocolate-coated treat. I took a bite and was struck with the taste of ... toffee. No, this doesn't really taste like peanut butter, but it does taste like peanut brittle or toffee. Strange, yes, and more strange since I was imagining something like the Chocolite Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cup Patties. Still, it was good, though quite chewy and not peanut buttery at all.

Each Chocolite Protein Peanut Butter Bar provides 100 calories, 4 grams of total fat, 2 grams of which is saturated, 10 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar alcohols, 9 grams of protein, plus 30% of the daily value for vitamin C, iron, vitamin D, vitamin E, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, biotin, pantothenic acid, and zinc.

Look at all those vitamins and minerals ... and fiber ... and protein! The ingredients list starts with a protein blend of Non-GMO Soy Protein Isolate, Non-GMO Soy Crisps mostly soy and whey protein isolate. These bars cost $1.59 at my local grocery store and is also available online. I will definitely buy this again - though not for a peanut butter fix!
