The Protein Bakery Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently sent an assortment of goodies to taste and review from The Protein Bakery.  Even in the wrappers they looked delicious. For 10 years the Protein Bakery has  expertly been creating delicious and healthy snacks that make your body’s engine work better. Their idea is simple: use the highest quality, natural ingredients, baked to perfection. Don’t add any preservatives or flavors. And as their name suggests– they use the purest whey protein isolate available. Each cookie, brownie, blondie has more protein and a few less carbohydrates than most snacks available. This nutritional balance prevents a heart rate change and won’t spike your blood sugar. Also of note: for people with wheat allergies, their products are wheat free. They do this by using rolled oats, which in turn adds dietary fiber. (Which is good for every body.)

Okay so all that sounds great right?  However, does it taste like a bird seed cake or does it taste decadent.  I can tell you their goodies were delicious, the blondies, the cookies were just so moist and rich, the kind of dessert you would eat at a party and beg the host for the recipe.  Definitely not something you would think was enhanced with whey protein.  Oh my gosh, as I am writing this I am fighting the urge to go into the kitchen for another snack form The Protein Bakery.  They definitely have a new customer.

The Protein Bakery does not believe in mass production.  They  produce all their baked goods in small batches. Which ensures they’re always sent to you fresh.  They have lots of great assortments that are perfect for gift giving and don’t forget to get some for yourself.  Once you have tasted their blondies, brownies and cookies, you will not forget to get some for yourself.

I have some great news to share.  The Protein Bakery is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a sample pack from The Protein Bakery.  The sample pack will include an assortment of 2 brownies/blondies, 2 colossal cookies and 4 cookie 2-packs, a $45 value.  Thank you to The Protein Bakery for the review assortment and for sponsoring this delicious give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  Open to US residents.

Cake Pop Prep and Funfetti Brownies.

The first step to making the cake pops is to make a cake.  Actually, the recipe on this mold recommends using a bag of crushed oreos and a block of cream cheese but I want to make more traditional cake balls so I am going to use red velvet cake and make my own cream cheese frosting.  Anyhow, once Ethan heard I was baking a cake, it was all over.  I knew I better whip up some funfetti brownies at the same time because he could never wait through all the steps for the cake ball pops.  He sat right up next to the island in his high chair to watch every detail and to help clean away the evidence.

Pouring into the pans.  I did use a mix for the cake but I am making my own cream cheese icing.

Licking up the evidence.

 

 

 

Brownies are done!  Ethan was so anxious for them to be done that when they had about 5 minutes left he told me to go to the oven and push the button.  I am flattered that my son thinks I possess that kind of power, that I can miraculously just make brownies done by pushing a button.  I explained to him that they would be done when the time was up and that me pushing buttons would not make it any faster.  Silly kid.

There was no cooling that was going to happen.  I had some very impatient customers.

When I asked Ethan to smile, he told me he was eating.  Then he quickly shoved another bite in his mouth.

A mouth full of brownie and a truck, is there anything better?
