Two paper bags arrived in a box (proper packaging was still in production at the time).
They were pretty greasy but the treats inside were not.
Inside each bag was a couple of glazed doughnuts and a couple of dark chocolate chunk cookies that I shared around.
Offerings with promises of ‘healthy’ and ‘high protein’ were met with intrigue and slight apprehension.
People are not used to healthy less fattening/sugary food looking and tasting like cookies and doughnuts.
So what was this?

Collective oohs and ahhs followed as people tucked in and passed the treats to one another.
Half a glazed doughnut was 72 calories. The equivalent at Dunkin Donuts comes in at almost double: 130 calories.
NUFF’s was made from nuts, fruit, cocoa, chia eggs, coconut flour, sourdough, syrup, himalayan salt, lemon, cinnamon, vanilla, and coconut oil.
I enjoyed both, highly. Namely for the nutritional promise and I’m a sucker for dark, dark chocolate and anything I don’t usually get to eat as a vegan.
The cookie itself was gooey and slightly undercooked as cookies should be. I find that regular cookies are unnecessarily sugary, oily and calorific.
I’d like to eat a whole one and I’d like to not have to forfeit my lunch in order to do so.
The NUFF dark choc cookie has 160 calories. Its Millie’s counterpart has 208.
Means I can have two, right?
