OH OH COOKIE DOUGH — ENGINEERED
Munch or Dump rates OH OH COOKIE DOUGH by TRUBAR ENGINEERED — score 30/90.
A lab-built protein bar: isolated proteins, tapioca fiber, palm oil, natural flavors and an emulsifier stacked to mimic cookie dough. It's engineered for macros and craving, not a whole food.
Why this verdict
- Isolated rice + pea protein blend plus tapioca fiber — fractionated, not whole-food ingredients
- Added cane sugar plus RSPO palm oil and MCT oil layered for a hyper-palatable fat/sugar hit
- Sunflower lecithin emulsifier and undisclosed 'natural flavors' engineer the cookie-dough texture and taste
- NOVA 4 ultra-processed despite the clean-label marketing
Ingredients (13)
- Tapioca fiber and cassava blend (moderate) — Refined isolated fiber/starch used as bulking filler; heavily processed carbohydrate, not whole cassava.
- Plant protein blend (brown rice + organic pea protein) (safe) — Isolated plant proteins deliver the 12g protein claim; fine nutritionally but heavily processed, not whole food.
- Cashews (safe) — Whole nut with minerals and healthy fats.
- organic cane sugar (caution) — Straight added sugar — second sweetener in the stack.
- RSPO palm oil (moderate) — Refined oil high in saturated fat; sustainably sourced but still a processed fat.
- Fair traded cacao powder (safe) — Real cocoa; source of flavor and antioxidants.
- unsweetened chocolate++ (safe) — Real cocoa solids for flavor.
- Cocoa Butter (safe) — The natural fat of the cacao bean.
- Natural Flavors (safe) — Flavor compounds derived from natural sources.
- Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
- Sunflower Lecithin (safe) — Emulsifier; benign.
- medium chain triglycerides (moderate) — Refined fat used as a flavor-oil carrier, not a nutrition play.
- Vanilla bean specks (safe) — Real vanilla for flavor and visual cue.
