At this year's Winter Fancy Food Show, Chomptown launched 2.75-ounce snack cookies that are small in size and perfect for on-the-go eating, yet packed with nutrient-dense nut butters and pea protein. The gluten-free, non-dairy snack cookies are available in decadent flavors like Lemon Cranberry, Honey Peanut and Coconut Caramel, which are described as having a "chunky, brownie-like texture."
These cookies, which are a great source of plant-based protein, promise to deliver all-vegetarian ingredients with a focus on heart-healthy fats without compromising the enjoyable experience that consumers have come to expect when indulging in a cookie. The clean, protein-packed cookies are set to satisfy the growing number of health-conscious individuals who are seeking out better-for-you snacks that taste, smell and look like their less-than-healthy counterparts.
