Lenny & Larry's, the protein-enhanced cookie brand founded in 1993 by two bodybuilders, recently expanded its portfolio with the introduction of a new Holiday Collection. The seasonal lineup includes two new flavors of Gingerbread and Peppermint Chocolate with the return of the fan-favorite Pumpkin Spice variant. Each cookie boasts 16 grams of plant-based protein and 10 grams of fiber in each freshly baked 4-ounce cookie.
“Bringing innovative flavors to the better-for-you market brings our team joy and we wanted to create an assortment of flavors that would spread that same joy to our fans this holiday season,” said Lenny & Larry’s CEO, Jolie Weber. “The Holiday Collection is a celebration of our iconic treat and these new flavors support our mission to make healthy eating fun and delicious.”
