Our protein cookie dough bites are a huge hit in the fitness world. Whether they’re helping bodybuilders get their late-night protein in without the fuss of making a meal, or they’re powering a business professional through their tight work break without fast food and junk, they get the job done.
So, what are protein cookie dough bites made of? Why do they work?
Let’s take a look at it.
Breaking Down the Ingredient Systems
When we put together our delicious protein cookie dough bites, we chose ingredients based on a systematic approach. Everything is designed to do something without wasting calories on random nonsense and fillers.
While we have two main categories of products to choose from, the differences mostly come down to the ratio of ingredients. For example, our high-protein, low-sugar option has a bit more protein in it to give you the extra “oomph” you need to fuel your muscles compared to the standard version.
So, we'll break down each system rather than going over every little ingredient you’re already familiar with.
The Protein System
This is the star of the show and why you’re here. You want something low on calories, heavy on gains. You want a lot of protein without a lot of junk.
In this part of the FUUL system, we don’t just dump some protein powder in and call it a day. We use a dual-protein approach to provide a comprehensive protein profile your body will love.
First, there’s the whey protein you’re used to if you’ve been into fitness for any length of time. Even if you’re brand-new, you’ve likely heard the gym bros talk about it all the time.
More specifically, we use a high-quality whey protein isolate. This ensures that you’re getting exactly what you’re looking for from your whey protein and nothing else.
Then, we top that off with a milk-based protein that rounds out the edges of the whey and provides comprehensive protein benefits your muscles need to repair and keep going.
The Fat System
To the newbie, “fat” sounds like a bad word. However, you need that fat. It’s going to keep you from feeling starved later and cannibalizing the muscles you’ve built, and if you’re working out hard, you’ll burn it off with no issues.
Our fat system is designed to deliver only healthy fats. These are fats that don’t stick around forever or cause negative effects, such as clogging your arteries.
Whether you're into chocolate chip or birthday cake flavor, cocoa butter, palm oil, sunflower oil, and soy lecithin provide the healthy fat your body needs.
The Flavor System
Now, when you see this, you’re going to get a little shocked. We’re not afraid to use sugar.
In the fitness world, that’s a huge talking point. Everyone wants to run away from sugar in all its forms like it’s the plague.
That simply isn’t true, and it’s why so many protein products simply aren’t enjoyable. To be frank, most of the market tastes like cardboard, and people stop eating those things a week after they think they’re committed.
For all the sweet stuff, we use real sugar, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and pure cane sugar molasses.
There’s a touch of salt for a salty-sweet punch, as well.
The difference between our cookie dough bites and something like a pack of cookies off the big box store’s shelf is that we use those ingredients properly, and we use high-quality versions. You can feel good about enjoying them for breakfast!
No weird science concoctions are posing as sugar in our cookie dough bites. Those are the real troublemakers in the health world.
It’s okay to have good sugars. You just need to balance them out, keep your total intake per day in mind, and make sure you don’t overdo it.
Protein and fats are the stars of the show with FUUL, and you only get a fraction of your daily allowance of good sugars in each pack. So, you’re not overdoing it, and you don’t have to eat cardboard.
Our Binders
There is technically a fourth system at play with our cookie dough bites, but it’s not one that actually impacts your health all that much. We have to use something to hold all that deliciousness together.
So, we use sorbitol, wheat flour, cornstarch, glycerin, and xanthan gum. A couple of those might sound complicated, but they’re used every day in a wide variety of health products, and they don’t impact your health. Especially in the amount used to keep the bites together.
How Those Systems Come Together for a Protein Cookie Dough That Works
Now, you know everything that’s in our cookie dough bites. How do those systems come together, though?
Well, the protein is there to give your muscles the building blocks they need to repair themselves and grow. This is essential to get real results from your workouts. Protein also keeps you feeling full longer, because it’s harder to burn than fat.
The fat system protects those muscles that the protein helps build. If you run low on protein, and your body needs to burn some fuel to keep going, it will burn the fat first.
Without that fat, it goes straight to your muscles. You can work out really hard, but if you’re not providing enough calories and fat to fuel your body, your gains are going to be that fuel. So, fat is essential.
The flavor system is simply there to make it enjoyable. Like we said, a lot of other products taste horrible. Even the people who say they only see food as fuel want something that tastes good. It’s just part of being human.
By implementing a good flavor system with natural sugars and natural flavor enhancements, we give you that desirable taste that keeps you on track with your snacking, plus the added bonus of supporting muscle growth.
Protein builds your muscles. Fat keeps your body from eating those muscles when it’s hungry. Flavor keeps you from falling off the wagon and eating a bunch of junk. Altogether, you get a protein system that works, and you don’t stop using it after a week in.
