In this post, I will be reviewing Lenny & Larry’s Birthday Cake Complete Cookie. I have seen this flavor around quite a bit lately, with many products touting it as tasting like a piece of white, creamy cake. It will be interesting to see how Lenny & Larry’s pulls this off.
I like the flavor of birthday cake, but not all products are created equal when trying to replicate its flavor. There are cookies, candy, and ice cream that I have tasted with the birthday cake flavor, some good, some not so good. We’ll see how this cookie stands up. I have reviewed many of Lenny’s & Larry’s cookies, including White Chocolaty Macadamia, Coconut Chocolate Chip, Snickerdoodle, and others, and I liked them all so far. Let’s take a look at the ingredients.

The cookie has dietary fiber, which is one of the things I like about it.
My Honest Review
When I opened the packaging, I get a very tiny smell of sugary cake, nothing too overpowering. This cookie is a bit thinner than others Iv’e tried from Lenny & Larry’s so far.
The texture is soft and moist, with the tiniest bit of grainy crunch, but the cookie does not taste grainy. I get no overt flavor of protein, and although the cookie does taste a bit like a sugar cookie, it is really not very sweet.
I would say the taste is mild, and it does taste good. There is a bit of an aftertaste, but nothing that lingers. I am drinking a bottle of water with the cookie, and if you try it, I would suggest a beverage while consuming it.
The cookie would make for a great snack, and with some fiber and protein, it is much more nutritious than a regular sugary cookie. I would suggest that you give this cookie a taste, as it is mild and filling.
You could even use this cookie as a way to get some extra protein in your diet along with a workout program. I don’t honestly think anyone would benefit building muscle with this product, but it would be good to get some extra protein and fiber. It is very tasty. Give it a try.
