Finally, we can also recommend some interesting products from the Vilgain brand. The latter has a repertoire of popular sweets with high quality ingredients and very good nutritional values. Let's take a closer look at them.

Vilgain Protein Cookie

  • Nutritional values per serving:
    • 305.6 kcal
    • 20 g protein
    • 16 g carbohydrates
    • 15,2 g fat

Vilgain's protein biscuit may contain slightly more calories than the other products in our ranking, but it makes up for this shortfall with its high-quality ingredients. It contains a blend of several proteins (whey concentrate, micellar casein isolate, rawhydrolysate), corn fibre, roasted almonds, chocolate chips and a few other ingredients. The only negative I see is the unnecessary sugar content, however, I have to rate the rest of the ingredients positively. The Double Chocolate Chip flavour is really perfect in taste and it also manages to fill you up for a surprisingly long time.

Vilgain Plant Protein Mini Cookies

  • Nutritional values per serving:
    • 224 kcal
    • 11.2 g protein
    • 40 g carbohydrates
    • 11,6 g fat

Vegan mini biscuits can be a plant-based alternative to the previous product. They are available in two flavours, with the peanut butter flavour in particular catching our eye. It forms the basis of the biscuits, making them remotely reminiscent of the popular Reeses, for example. In addition to peanuts, you will also find pea protein, date syrup, date paste and dark chocolate. If you're craving a little sweetness, Vilgain Plant Protein Mini Cookies are worth having on hand.

Vilgain Protein Candy Bar

  • Nutritional values per serving:
    • 230 kcal
    • 15 g protein

What's more, it has an amazingly soft consistency, which you don't see much of among protein bars. In addition to high-quality milk chocolate, you will also find whey protein concentrate, chicory syrup or organic dark chocolate in the ingredients. And if you prefer more plant-based options, don't overlook our review of the Vilgain Plant Protein Candy Bar, which is sure to delight you in taste as well.
