AI pick (line): Lenny & Larry's The Complete Cookie

What the AI looks for in Sports Nutrition Cookies & Brownies
- Servings per cookie
- Check whether the protein claim is for the whole cookie or for half. Large protein cookies often list two servings, which doubles the real calories and sugar you eat.
- Protein per 100 calories
- Compare protein to calories. Low-sugar milk-protein cookies score far better than bakery-style ones. This separates a protein snack from a regular cookie with protein added.
- Protein source and allergens
- Plant protein (wheat, pea, soy) versus milk protein. This decides vegan and dairy suitability. Many plant-based cookies contain wheat and soy.
- Sweeteners and fiber
- Check for sugar alcohols and added fibers in low-sugar options. These keep sugar down but can cause bloating.
Brands that matter
- Lenny & Larry's: The best-known plant-based soft-baked protein cookie.
- Quest: Low-sugar milk-protein cookies.
- Munk Pack: Plant-based protein cookies and snacks.
- Legendary Foods: Makes protein pastries and treats in the same snack space.
What to avoid
- Judging a cookie by the front-label protein number without checking servings per package.
- Assuming plant-based means gluten-free: many are wheat-based.
