What You Should Know

You'd find these Mini Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies in the snack or health-food aisle, often near low‑sugar, keto or protein-packed snacks for grab-and-go moments. They trade on nostalgic chocolate-chip comfort while feeling like a 'healthy indulgence'—their soft, uniform texture and long shelf life come from industrial ingredients (glycerin, erythritol, protein isolates, gums, emulsifiers and added fibers) that are characteristic of ultra-processed reformulations.
