As you can see this is more than a dessert, this has a good enough profile to be a protein shake. 27g of protein (casein & whey) and only 3.2g of carbs means you can add this to the list of diet friendly treats.

Taste
I tried both the Chocolate and Vanilla. I found the Vanilla quite bland but the chocolate was excellent, really nice. With the Vanilla I ended up adding something to it to give it a bit more flavour but with the Chocolate it was perfect by itself.

They both mixed up perfectly and set in the fridge within about 10 minutes, it has the consistency of Angel Delight.

Side Effects
None

Price
£22.99 for a box of 15 sachets.

Results
Dieting is hard! Anyone that tells you different is a liar and you should immediately slap them. Twice. That’s why I love anything that allows me to “cheat clean”, anything that can trick my body into thinking its indulged its sweet-tooth but actually helps me reach my goals is precious to me. You get some high protein cheat foods that are better than their unhealthy counterparts but few that you could really eat completely guilt free.

I used CNP Dessert on my low carb days because it allowed me to have something sweet whilst still staying on track. The Vanilla flavour could do with some work but the Chocolate is awesome. With the blend of fast and slow proteins it actually makes a very good evening snack almost doubling as a bedtime shake.

It’s not unreasonably expensive but I would like to see it a little cheaper. The reality of these kinds of products are that as nice as they are or as good a nutritional profile they might have they will always be a luxury item. You won’t use them daily but I think that it would be good to keep in the cupboard for an emergency treat when you can’t stand the diet anymore. 8/10
