Bhu Foods Double Dark Chocolate Chunk Protein Cookie — ENGINEERED
Munch or Dump rates Bhu Foods Double Dark Chocolate Chunk Protein Cookie by Bhu Foods ENGINEERED — score 35/90.
The high-protein, sub-1g-sugar claims are honest: real protein comes from cashews and pea protein, and monk fruit is the only sweetener. But this is a formulated keto product, not a kitchen cookie. Isolated soluble tapioca fiber is one of the largest ingredients, paired with pea protein isolate, sunflower lecithin, and xanthan gum to hit the macros.
Why this verdict
- Protein is real: from whole cashews and pea protein, delivering about 12g per cookie
- Genuinely low sugar (about 1g), sweetened only with monk fruit, so the label claims hold up
- Heavily formulated: isolated soluble tapioca fiber is a top ingredient, bulking fiber to roughly 13g per cookie
- Two stabilizer/emulsifier additives stacked (sunflower lecithin and xanthan gum) alongside pea protein isolate
- Classified NOVA 4 ultra-processed by Open Food Facts; built for macros, not a simple baked good
Ingredients (10)
- Organic cashews (safe) — Whole tree nut providing fat, fiber, and part of the protein; the tree-nut allergen source.
- organic pea protein (safe) — Isolated plant protein; clean but a marker of formulation for macros.
- Organic soluble tapioca fiber (moderate) — Isolated prebiotic fiber used as bulk and to keep net carbs low; can cause GI upset in larger amounts.
- Organic red palm oil (moderate) — High in saturated fat and drives the elevated saturated-fat total.
- Organic cacao / cocoa (safe) — Real chocolate source with antioxidants.
- Sunflower Lecithin (safe) — Soy-free emulsifier.
- Xanthan Gum (moderate) — Part of the dough conditioner blend.
- Organic monk fruit extract (safe) — Zero-calorie natural sweetener; the only sweetener present.
