NuGo suggests it is the first “major” protein bar brand to launch protein cookies. The cookies contain 16 grams of protein in every package.

David Levine, NuGo CEO, said: “We’re proud to have made a deliciously baked cookie satisfying the consumer demand for plant-based protein products that cater to many lifestyles.

“Consumers who eat gluten-free and vegan can now enjoy the classic cookie flavours they crave, while getting the protein and fibre they need.”

The cookies are available in four flavours: Peanut Butter Chocolate, Double Chocolate, Oatmeal Raisin, and Dark Chocolate Chip.
