Optimum Nutrition Cake Bites — Better Than Cake?
Optimum Nutrition Cake Bites were launched a while back, but I feel like they aren’t getting enough love these days. I’ve been in the supplement industry for over a decade and I am thrilled when I see brands coming out with innovative products. I worked for MET-Rx and Pure Protein nearly 10 years and while I enjoyed the protein bars they produced, it was the exact same bar coming out in a new flavor – BORING! These cake bites were one of the first “bars” to get me excited in years. To be honest, they really aren’t a bar – they are more like a snack cake (which is pretty dang awesome). Here is my review.
Optimum Nutrition Cake Bites
When I first saw the cake bites I was a little leary as Optimum Nutrition isn’t known for producing protein bars (at least none in the past that were any good). But, being the industry nerd that I am, I decided to give them a try. The Optimum Nutrition Cake Bites currently come in six flavors (Birthday Cake, Chocolate Dipped Cherry, Red Velvet, Chocolate Frosted Donut, Mint Chocolate, and Blueberry Cheesecake).
These Optimum Nutrition Cake Bites make for the perfect snack option as well as being a convenient way to take in more protein in your diet. Each package contains three (3) cakes and the entire package will give you 20 grams of protein and depending on the flavor, less than 250 calories, 25 grams of carbs, and 7 grams of fat.
I have tried all of the flavors for this Optimum Nutrition Cake Bites review, including ones I thought I wouldn’t like and I had no issues getting them down. They were all soft and moist and while I am not normally a fan of red velvet cake, I even liked that flavor. These bites were literally the perfect snack. I had one flavor in the middle of the day… the next night I used one as a late night snack… and one morning I even used it as a breakfast on my way to a meeting.
So, which flavor is for you from reading this Optimum Nutrition Cake Bites review? That’s a tough one to answer. Would I recommend you give these a try? For sure! What I would personally recommend since there are so many flavors, is to purchase a variety pack that will give you one of each flavor to see which you like best before you spend the money on a full box. I’m sure you will find many of the flavors delicious and when you do, feel free to grab a full box of it to have on hand for a healthy high-protein snack option.
