Hitting my daily protein goals can be a chore, especially when I’m in a bulk period for weightlifting. You can only eat so much chicken breast, you know? Luckily, Naked Nutrition has a diverse line of protein supplements, including a new Brownie Mix!
*Disclaimer: This product was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve had the pleasure of trying some of Naked Nutrition’s other products in past reviews (read them here) and have always enjoyed them. The newest offering, the Naked Brownie High Protein Brownie Mix, is a low-sugar baking mix that starts with their premium whey concentrate protein. It also contains coconut sugar, sea salt, and other natural ingredients to create a guilt-free brownie with 15g of protein, 9g of sugar, and 230 calories per serving.
The flavor is your standard chocolate brownie and I was happy to find that the mix also contains chocolate chips!
Preparation is easy: add 10 scoops of the mix to six to seven ounces of water, stir, and pour into a oiled or non-stick baking pan, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350°F. One serving is two scoops and there is enough in each package for approximately two pans of brownies.
The brownies baked perfectly and, as you can see, came out looking very smooth. Of course, these are not going to taste like Ghirardelli chocolate brownies, nor are they supposed to, so you may notice some textural differences than what you’re used to.
Overall, though, these brownies are not far off from what I’ve gotten from other packaged mixes. They are less sugary and sweet than dessert brownies, but that’s a good thing! They don’t taste chalky or have that “protein powder” taste you sometimes get with protein products and I think anyone looking to add an extra snack to their routine will enjoy these.
I appreciate that Naked Nutrition offers products outside of the standard protein powder shake to help people meet their protein goals. These brownies taste pretty good and I’m going to eat them for breakfast with my morning coffee!
Visit Naked Nutrition to purchase.
Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a new way to add protein to your die, the Naked Nutrition High Protein Brownie Mix is a fun way to do so. To me, it’s essentially a more intriguing form of a protein bar!
