Vegan Product Review / Vegaani Tuote Arvostelu : Lenny & Larry's The Complete Cookie Choc-O-Mint Flavor

This Post Will be also in Finnish (at the end).

Lenny & Larry's The Complete Cookie
Choc-O-Mint!!

Starting off as a great day when I get to eat a cookie with my coffee and then write about it haha. I Love Lenny & Larry's tbh. Their cookies are excellent and they're packed with protein. It's still a bit of junk food, as all processed foods are in the end.

So far I have tasted their Double Chocolate, Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Macadamia nut.

 I found this flavor in Helsinki Finland, I have literally never seen it before so I had to get it (I also love chocolate & mint -stuff). 

Their cookies are completely vegan, non soy, non gmo and they have 10g of fiber, 16g of protein.

Nutrition facts in Finnish and English:

How it looks like before I start eating it.. (Sorry about the lovely kitchen background haha).

How it looks inside..

The first bite: Consistency is good. It's the same as in their other cookies. It's more chewy than crispy and its not gooey inside. Their cookie consistency remind me of protein bars. Or it reminds me of a dry cake, the kind your grandma makes. The mint flavor is faint, but recognisable. I think honestly it's my new Larry & Lenny's favorite flavor. The big cookie has 16g of protein so that is always a plus.

I think these cookies are best to eat while traveling or doing something active, I don't think they necessarily are the classic dessert cookies.

Overall Score;

4/5

Suomeksi:

Olen aikaisemminkin syönyt Lenny & Larry's yhtiön valmistamia keksejä (oikeastaan olen kokeillut melkein kaikki maut mitä olen USA:ssa nähnyt), joten tiesin mitä odottaa. Nämä keksit muistuttavat enemmänkin proteiinipatukkaa tai kuivakakkua, joten älä odota että kohtaat rasvaisen ihanan Subway -tyylisen jenkkikeksin paketin avattuasi. 

Proteiinin lähteenähän tätä mainostetaan ja ainakin USA:ssa näitä myydään kuntosaleilla ja apteekin tyylisissä kaupoissa. En tiedä miten tästä on hyötyä treenaamisen kanssa, mutta isossa keksissä on kuitenkin 16g proteiinia.

Choc-O-Mint maku on aika vieno, ei kovinkaan vahva toisin kuin jossain fazerin minttusuklaa konvehdeissa. Pidän kuitenkin tästä mausta koska minttu on maistettavissa. Kaiken kaikkiaan annan neljä viidestä, sillä tykkään tämän yhtiön kekseistä ja tämä taitaa olla nyt minun uus lemppari maku. 

4/5

Vegan Travel HEL - CPN - SFO

The First time I decided to document what I'm eating during transcontinental travel.

So..I started my trip from Helsinki Vantaa Airport. I stayed in a hotel over night because I had an early flight. Anyone who has been in a Nordic country knows that their airports can be fairly expensive, and as I'm traveling with budget - I just went to a grocery store that was in Terminal 2 and got some snacks from there.

That particular bread from the brand Makula wasn't really mindblowing. To be honest I have had it before but I feel like they changed the recipe. It was not very good this time. Keeping it at 100!! Rye snacks is such a finnish thing and I also want to eat seeminlgy little bit healthier so I got those. Pretty basic stuff for anyone who wants salty snacks.

And off to Copenhagen Airport..

First of all I haven't been traveling there much before so I didn't know much about the vegan options in there. Surprisingly there are quite many places offering vegan food, but mostly it is salads and/or bread. And as I was bored with bread from last night and I wasn't feeling for it. Then I saw the good ol' Pret A Manger and I knew they had Vegan coconut porridge. I chose to eat that for breakfast.

And what do vegans get to eat during long flights?
Well, first of all you have to most of the time pay extra for specific meal requirements. That should already be an extra reason for airlines to try to make the meals better. I have used mostly Star alliance airlines on my longer flights.

This meal was pretty good. I rather have pasta like this than some weird vegan food experiment. This was also the first time when an airline has had a normal dessert for vegans that was exactly the same as the omni option. It's usually ALWAYS few sad pieces of fruit, nothing wrong with fruit, but we pay for this meal.. and it would be nice to have something like this more often since the options exist.
This meal was on Scandinavian Airlines.
