FAQs
What are protein cookies?
Protein cookies are snack-format biscuits formulated with a higher protein content than standard cookies, typically using protein sources such as whey or plant-based alternatives. Unlike regular cookies, they're developed to deliver a meaningful amount of protein — often between 13g and 25g per serving — while keeping sugar and fat lower than you'd find in supermarket alternatives. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1, making protein cookies a practical snack choice for people with higher daily protein targets.
How much protein do protein cookies contain?
Protein content varies across the range. The Baked Protein Cookie and Gooey Filled Protein Cookie each deliver 13g of protein per serving, while the Extra Lean Protein Cookie steps it up significantly with 25g of protein per cookie. The right choice depends on your daily protein target and where this snack fits within your overall intake.
Are protein cookies good for you?
Protein cookies are a higher-protein alternative to standard biscuits, with formulas developed to reduce sugar and fat compared to supermarket equivalents. The Extra Lean Protein Cookie contains 80% less sugar and 70% less fat than typical alternatives. They're a sensible snack option for anyone looking to increase their daily protein intake in a convenient, enjoyable format — though like any food, they work best as part of a balanced diet.
Are there vegan protein cookies?
Yes — the Baked Protein Cookie is suitable for vegans, making it a solid plant-based option in the range. It delivers 13g of protein per serving and offers a baked texture that works well as an everyday snack. If you follow a plant-based diet and want a convenient high-protein cookie, this is the one to go for.
What's the difference between the protein cookie options?
The range covers three distinct formats. The Extra Lean Protein Cookie is the highest-protein option at 25g per cookie, with significantly reduced sugar and fat. The Baked Protein Cookie offers 13g of protein in a vegan-friendly, traditional baked format. The Gooey Filled Protein Cookie also delivers 13g of protein but adds an indulgent salted caramel centre for a more dessert-like experience. Each suits a slightly different preference or occasion.
When should I eat a protein cookie?
Protein cookies are versatile enough to work at multiple points in the day. Many people reach for one after training as a convenient way to get protein in quickly. They also work well as a mid-morning or afternoon snack to bridge the gap between meals. Because they're individually portioned and require no prep or refrigeration, they're equally at home in a gym bag or on a desk.
Can protein cookies replace a protein shake?
Protein cookies can contribute to your daily protein intake in the same way a shake does, but the two serve slightly different purposes. A shake typically delivers protein faster in liquid form and suits situations where you want something light and quick. A protein cookie offers a more satisfying, solid-food experience — particularly useful when you want something that feels more like a proper snack. For high-volume needs, the Extra Lean Protein Cookie at 25g protein per cookie is the closest comparison to a standard shake serving.
Who developed the protein cookies at Myprotein?
Myprotein's expert nutritionists develop all products in the range, formulating each cookie to hit meaningful protein targets while maintaining a taste and texture you'd actually want to eat. The goal is straightforward — create snacks that fit an active lifestyle without requiring you to compromise on flavour or convenience.
Are protein cookies suitable for weight management?
Protein cookies aren't meal replacements, but they can play a useful role in a calorie-managed approach to eating by providing a higher-protein snack in place of a standard biscuit or sweet treat. The Extra Lean Protein Cookie, with 80% less sugar and 70% less fat than typical supermarket cookies, is particularly well-suited to those keeping a close eye on their overall intake. Always factor them into your total daily calorie and macronutrient targets.
How do high protein cookies differ from regular cookies?
High protein cookies are specifically formulated to increase protein content and reduce sugar and fat compared to standard baked goods. Regular supermarket cookies are made for taste with little nutritional consideration, whereas high protein cookies — like those in this range — use protein-rich ingredients and modified formulas to deliver a snack that works harder nutritionally. The result is a cookie that fits within an active lifestyle rather than cutting against it.
