Cookie Dough...A go or no?

I told my mamacita that I could not find the new LUNA Protein Bars and that is all it took for these guys to show up at my door(m). I wanted to try every flavor, but I opted to start off with the Cookie Dough LUNA Protein Bar. Plus, I'm not feeling very good and it seemed like a comforting pick; although, it failed to make my throat feel better! bummer dude.
After enjoying half of the bar, I had accumulated the following review:



I’m certainly not getting a cookie dough texture. The texture is more of an extremely chewy nougat. It’s not too sweet. There was an ever so slight crisp in select bites from random soy crisps. You could definitely tell that this was not a candy bar, but a protein bar. However, it wasn’t too bad. The overall feel of the bar was CHEW. The chocolate chips and thin chocolate coating sort of just get lost amongst the chewy nougat; although chocolate is certainly present and accounted for. Chew and chew and chew. It had a subtle cookie dough flavor, but I’m not putting it on my list of favorite bars or anything.

I am excited to test out the other flavors though, to see how they take to this chewy base.
I am kind of in the middle of the road on this one.


When that occurs, I consult other foodies:
  • Some LOVE IT.
  • Some wouldn't say they LOVE it, but they did enjoy it.
  • Some think it falls short.
    Some would buy a whole wearhouse, if need be.



So... a go or no?

  1. For me, it was a 10/10. I looooved the saltiness! I could definitely eat these like a candy bar. But I guess people's tastes are different

  5. Yum! Regardless of how they actually taste, I love the idea of these, and I love fantasizing about a healthy way to enjoy cookie dough. I just won't buy any so I won't be disappointed.

  8. Regular Luna bars keep me really full so I can only imagine what a protein luna would do...

  11. I had the same thoughts on the Luna proteins.

    And do you think if I tell my mama I can't find the perfect spring jacket anywhere one will show up at my door?

  12. I was ok with it - I'm standing next you in the middle of the road. I'd eat it again, but it was nothing memorable.

    P.S., I'm Gillian and I've been reading your blog for ages - you are a lot of fun to read! I just started my own food blog because of blogs like yours :) I am also a college kid, and I'm jealous of your major! Good luck with balancing it all out girl - I'm sure you'll succeed!
