The Yumkies Protein Cookie is a new full-size treat from the better-for-you snack brand that extends into more formal treating and snacking occasions to catch the attention of consumers with a sweet tooth and nutritional goals. The cookie embraces flavor as well as function to help avoid the pitfall of some options with the protein snack category that are macro-minded, but lack indulgence and taste. The cookie is formulated with a custom blend of grass-fed whey protein concentrate with micellar casein and grass-fed collagen, and has no seed oil, refined sugar or gluten in the mix.
The Yumkies Protein Cookie has 10-grams of protein and 140-calories, and comes individually packaged to support easier snacking thanks to portioned packets for guilt-free treat occasions.
