Tried & Tested: The Protein Works Protein Truffles:
We’ve tried each and every protein truffle flavour to let you know our thoughts. Which is our favourite? Keep reading to find out…
Jaffa Cake:
For those post-workout snacks with a bit more punch, why not try The Protein Works Jaffa Cake flavour Protein Truffle. Sooth your sweet tooth with an orange jelly style hit…
Taste
I absolutely love this protein truffle. The flavour is spot on, maybe that’s because I haven’t had a Jaffa Cake in ages and I’ve forgotten how great the flavour is, or because it’s just legit awesome. The texture is slightly dry, but I could definitely put up with it for this flavour anytime.
Rating
8/10. So close to being perfect.
Millionaires Shortbread:
Why buy your high calorie millionaire shortbreads from the local shop when you can get a much better, lower calorie, higher nutrient version right here from The Protein Works?
Taste
At first I assumed I must have confused this Millionaires Shortbread truffle with the Caramel Macchiato truffle, because it really wasn’t as sweet as I expected. The flavour was a lot more subtle than I figured it would be (especially after how strong the Jaffa Cake was).
I actually really like it.
Yes, it’s slightly more bitter than I expected, but I really enjoy the flavour of this. It tastes a lot more natural than I expected and although the texture is still quite dry – I definitely think the taste counteracts it.
Rating
7/10 Great subtle flavour.
Caramel Macchiato:
Take your coffee break with a side of The Protein Works Protein Truffle in Caramel Macchiato flavour. Perfectly paired with coffee and relaxation…
Taste
If you don’t like coffee, I wouldn’t try this. This is really strong and tastes just like you’d expect a Caramel Macchiato truffle to taste. Seconds after opening It was amazing just how much it really smelt of coffee. Personally I’m not too keen and it tastes slightly too strong and artificial for me. But, for people who are really into their coffee flavoured snacks this could be really enjoyable.
Rating
6/10 Too strong for me.
Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Truffle:
High Protein Snacks are so often in the flavours of rich chocolates and gooey caramels, which is why it’s so “refreshing” to see more natural, fresh flavours like Strawberry on the market. Sure, it may be a rich Strawberry Cheesecake, but still what can be more refreshing than a cheesecake bite?
Taste
I’m not too sure on this flavour. At initial bite, I found it really sweet and too dry (almost chalky and powdery). Although, nearer the end this strawberry cheesecake truffle did start growing on me. Personally, I don’t think I would try these again. The texture just wasn’t what I wanted and the taste was too strong. However, my partner thinks their great and has nearly consumed a whole box in a couple of days.
Rating
5/10 – Good effort, but definitely not to my tastes.
