Product Review: Chef Jays brownie

Product Review: Chef Jay’s Food Products Trioplex Brownie Double Chocolate Decadence

I have to say, the product really tastes great, BUT the package labeling is misleading. Yes, it does have 18 grams of protein, but the first ingredient is sugar. It also does not specify the protein source.

The whole brownie weighs in at a whopping 350 calories with 38 grams of sugar. Could it not be sweetened with honey to keep it moist, and a bit more protein content to sugar ratio?

Plus, what exactly is in the “chocolate compound coating”? Sounds like something you use to plug a hole in your wall.

I have to say, it is an awesome product, not bad at the price too, considering what you would have to pay for a bakery brownie. So it is great for those who don’t mind the calories and want a good yummy brownie with far more protein than you would ever get otherwise. But for those of us who are carb sensitive, well, we are a bit out of luck!

And I made the mistake and ate the whole thing because I looked at the left hand side of the label, which has the nutritional content for HALF the package.

Really, do you honestly expect any self-respecting chocoholic brownie eater to have the will power to eat only HALF of it? Impossible.

3 stars out of 5 for a dieter
5 out of 5 for a chocoholic
