There are tons of protein cookies for snackers who want to indulge a sweet tooth and hit their macros, and Pon Pon Snacks' Protein Biscuit Sticks offer a lighter, snappier version of a beloved Japanese treat that packs 10 grams of protein per box. These crispy biscuit sticks dropped in two varieties, nostalgic Strawberry Milk and earthy Matcha Latte, offering a better-for-you version of the category-leading biscuit stick with considerably less sugar, more fiber, no artificial flavors, and twice the protein.
These baked biscuit sticks make the most of real, recognizable ingredients like freeze-dried strawberries, culinary-grade matcha, whey protein isolate, beet juice for color, and monk fruit for a touch of sweetness. Although Strawberry Milk and Matcha Latte Protein Biscuit Sticks just launched, the brand by Lauren Pon is already hinting at new flavor drops.
