How does this biscuit differ from an ordinary filled sponge biscuit? — DESSERT protein cookie, creamy vanilla soufflé, 55 g - CHIKALAB

The main difference is the protein content. According to the label, a 55 g serving provides 14 g of protein, which comes from two sources: whey protein concentrate and milk protein. Whey protein is absorbed quickly, while milk protein provides a more even and longer-lasting feeling of fullness. An ordinary sponge biscuit with cream usually contains several times less protein and is based mainly on flour and sugar.

The second difference is the carbohydrate profile. Instead of large amounts of simple sugars, it uses water-soluble corn fibre and oligofructose — dietary fibres that reduce the proportion of fast carbohydrates in the product. The sweetness comes from sucralose, a sweetener that adds no significant calories. This makes it possible to get a dessert taste with a more moderate calorie load compared with classic equivalents.

In taste and texture, the product is close to a confectionery item: inside there is cream soufflé, outside milk chocolate, and the filling includes white milk paste with cashews. In other words, it is not a ‘sports bar with a protein aftertaste’ but a biscuit that feels like a treat.

It is important to understand, however, that CHIKALAB is a snack with an improved nutrient profile, not a diet product and not a substitute for a full meal. It fits well into a balanced diet as an alternative to ordinary sweets but does not replace a varied diet.
