At this year's Natural Products Expo East in Baltimore, Maryland, NuGo Nutrition recently launched a line of NuGo Protein Cookies, which come in beloved cookie flavors like Oatmeal Raisin, Dark Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate. Each cookie treat boasts 16 grams of protein, between 10 to 12 grams of fiber and is packaged in a convenient single-serve wrapper.
Many consumers who believe they are not getting enough protein in their diet are turning to prepackaged snacks, especially sweet ones, that offer an alternative to mixing protein shakes from a powder. These protein-rich cookies have the potential to appeal to anyone with a sweet tooth, as well as consumers who require or prefer vegan and gluten-free options.
