I’m all for pumping protein into merchandise as a result of it permits my alliteration-loving fingers to sort “pumping protein into merchandise.” However the merchandise additionally should be palatable, which is a reasonably low bar that these Magic Spoon Cinnamon Brown Sugar Protein Pastries didn’t move.
When you’re anticipating Pop-Tart-sized pastries, you’re in for a shock. I’d say they’re about three-fourths the scale of a Pop-Tart, however have a thickness that’s extra like a Pillsbury Toaster Strudel. What makes their measurement much more underwhelming is that there are solely 4 individually wrapped pastries within the field. Perhaps there shall be a Costco-sized field sometime that’ll have eight, however don’t get your hopes up as a result of these usually are not good.
My main situation with these is that they’ve an excessive amount of dough, which is becoming since Magic Spoon merchandise additionally value an excessive amount of dough. The cinnamon brown sugar layer isn’t evenly unfold throughout many of the pastry’s width. Whereas the center of the pastry appears prefer it has an honest quantity, it tapers on either side, leaving air pockets on the ends. So the crust’s taste is what largely comes by means of with most bites. When taking bites within the center with an honest quantity of filling, the cinnamon and brown sugar comes by means of, nevertheless it’s not tasty sufficient to make me overlook attending to it includes quite a lot of heavy crust-flavored bites. Additionally, that crust dries out my mouth. It has a texture that jogged my memory of Fig Newtons, however its taste is just not a great begin to the morning. Not even the squiggly icing may assist sweeten issues up and enhance the pastry’s dough-dominant taste.
The field has 4 preparation strategies: straight out of the wrapper, microwave, toaster oven, and frozen, however no dwelling equipment improves issues. Do you may have a pop-up toaster? Effectively, this product is just not for you until you need the icing to soften off and pool on the backside of your toaster. Nonetheless, ants and roaches will love you for that. Effectively, truly, they’ll love your pop-up toaster.
The one redeeming qualities these have that didn’t make me really feel like I utterly wasted my cash are the 11 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber every pastry has, which I think about are within the crust that makes these so bland.
If the Magic Spoon has any inkling of magic, it must be pointed at these protein pastries to make them magically style higher.
