Consumer Comments

"As someone who has tried every protein bar on the market, I am thrilled with The Protein Bakery Cookies! They are not a stodgy bar, they don't have a dirt like texture as with all of the other gluten free cookies I have tasted, they actually taste great and I look forward to my mid afternoon cookie with a cuppa! I find that one of these cookies leaves me feeling not to full and sustains my energy for the afternoon, whereas before i was grazing all the time! I appreciate that guests at our Luxury Lodge sometimes may not want to over indulge in calories, or they may be intolerant to gluten, so it is great to have something that looks great and tastes even better to offer!"

"I’ve just purchased one of your protein cookies (the last in the jar at the health food shop I was in) and have devoured it. I’m impressed! My husband and I are flying to Europe on Saturday and the protein cookies would make the perfect, portable low carb protein food. I don’t like protein bars (too sickly and gluggy) so was looking for an alternative today.
As each cookie is sealed I’m sure I wouldn’t have any trouble with customs and they don’t weigh much either. I will definitely be ordering some now online"

" Just wanted to let you know that I think your protein cookies are great, have just discovered them and think they’re the bee’s knees … well done. It’s great to have a high protein, low sugar snack available. I was very surprised to read the packaging and find that it’s a NZ product, so even better. Good work"

" I have lived a low carb lifestyle for 2 years now and must admit I have REALLY missed biscuits and cakes. I have tried many home made recipes without success and thought I would simply have to do without!...and then a couple of weeks ago, I found The Protein Bakery, and my life has been changed forever! The Protein Bakery protein cookies are "to die for" ....the Mochaccino and Chocolate Fudge are like eating Chocolate Brownie - without the guilt! Sooo low in carbs and a great portion of Protein to satisfy even the grumbliest tummy. I am forever indebted to the Protein Bakery team for developing such an AMAZING product ! If you are looking for a high protein snack - or a low carb one - you can't go past these cookies; they beat every single protein bar on the market!

Keep up the amazing work ! "

" To all at the protein Bakery, My name is WIll Hay and I was part of the 2006 North Harbour Representitive hockey team. We recieved Chocolate Fudge cookies from you and I am writing to say how good they were. I ate them at any possible time I could during the duration of the tournament and was very satisfied with the flavour and texture of the cookie. It is very kind of you guys to send us a box of cookies as the team and I greatly appriciated them. I was also wondering if you had any freebies of any kind? Once again a huge thank you to all at The Protein Bakery, "

" These are the BEST. Having lost 20kg on low carb, high protein, my nutritionist is pleased with the product but the best part for me is it stops me “falling off the wagon”. When I have cravings for something sweet the Protein Cookie is what I reach for. "

" Finally a low carb product that does not taste like cardboard and plastic! As a 40 year old bloke who has to be conscious of wheat and high carb products I have to avoid biscuits or cakes. It can be difficult but if I don’t then the old tummy starts growing. There is no need for will power when those Chocolate Fudge protein cookies are around though! Low carb and wheat free and YUMMY” "
