Need Food Fuel? Try Lenny & Larry's Protein Sandwich Cookies

Lenny & Larry's has my heart. I've tried the brand's protein-packed Complete Cookies, keto offerings, and bars. And because I'm a big sandwich-cookie fan (often frozen and dunked in milk!), I couldn't wait to try the Complete Cremes featuring a creamy, plant-based filling between two crunchy cookies. The duo of flavors — chocolate and vanilla — has gotten my seal of approval, and I reach for some after my postwork weightlifting routine or treadmill session — or whenever I want a sweet snack with added protein.

There are five grams of protein per two-cookie serving. These vegan Complete Cremes sandwich cookies have a blend of vital wheat gluten and pea protein and are said to contain one-third less sugar than the "leading brand."

The chocolate flavor is rich and semisweet, and don't ask me why, but I think there's a slight aftertaste of biscotti. Vanilla is also worthy of praise. It's reminiscent of a childhood treat stored somewhere in my overflowing memory files that I can't quite put my finger on. It is a bit less "sugary," in my opinion, than its chocolate counterpart. Suffice to say, both are now permanently within reach in my snack cabinet.
