MacroTreats - Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookie (Organic, Vegan) PDF Print E-mail

This blend of peanut butter, whole-wheat flour, maple syrup, and brown rice syrup produces a flavor and texture that is quite unique, and somewhat difficult to describe.  It is a very smooth and soft “cookie”, with a consistency that is very similar to the Cherry Serendipity Treat.  However, the peanut butter seems to add richness and density.  Overall, I enjoyed the distinctive flavor, but myself and the other sampler much preferred the Breakfast Cookie and Almond Perfection Macro Treats for both taste and texture.  The peanut butter, maple syrup, and chocolate chip flavors seem to be strong, stand-alone flavors that don’t always blend well.  It is a slightly more indulgent cookie at 250 calories, with a relatively high mix of sugars, fat, and protein.  However, the good protein and high fat content make it a good choice for post-workout recovery. 

  • Pros: Vegan; Organic; Free from refined sugars or flours; Compliments the Macrobiotic Diet; Excellent protein source
  • Cons: Relatively high in sugars and fat; Texture not pleasing to some

Recommended For

  • Post-workout Recovery
  • A Filling Mid-Day Snack
  • Macrobiotic Dieters
  • Peanut Butter Fans

Overall MacroTreat Review:

Go Macro Treats are truly inspirational cookies, free of refined sugars and flours, dairy, eggs, hydrogenated oils, additives, and preservatives.  High quality is evident right down to the organic grains and sweeteners.  The creators of Macro Treats have strictly adhered to the increasingly popular Macrobiotic Diet (think Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow) to produce unrefined, whole and natural indulgences.  In fact, even the chocolate chips utilized in some of the Treats are grain sweetened.  These soft, jumbo-sized cookies are each very unique in their taste and texture, which is why we have broken the reviews down by flavor.
