Snack Better With The Best Healthy Keto Cookie Dough Bites

Is raw cookie dough a guilty pleasure that you try not to indulge in, either because of the health risks associated with eating raw eggs or because you are trying to eat better? 

Whether you are trying to cut down on sugar or highly processed foods, follow a vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, low carb or ketogenic diet, or just want some healthy treats to satisfy your sweet tooth and curb your afternoon hunger pangs, you will love Bhu Keto Bites from Bhu Foods.

Today I'm reviewing these mini protein bars that come in five delicious cookie dough flavors, have a rich taste and smooth, creamy texture, are high in fiber and healthy fats, and contain no added sugars or artificial sweeteners, just minimally processed, non-GMO, organic ingredients.

Best of all, Bhu Keto Protein Bites taste just like cookie dough (yum!), but unlike that forbidden treat, they are not only safe to eat but also good for you!

For several years before before I began my successful low carb keto diet journey, I had been searching for delicious, healthy protein bars or snacks that would taste good and be good for me. Unfortunately, most of the protein bars I tried either tasted like cardboard and had a dry, unpleasant texture or tasted good because they contained a lot of natural or added sugars or contained highly processed ingredients, even though they marketed themselves as healthy food.

Then, in 2019, I switched my focus from a traditional low-fat, low-calorie diet to a nutritious, low carb approach to eating that focused on healthy fats, proteins and dietary fiber with little to no added sugars and minimally processed ingredients. That's when I discovered Bhu Keto Bites (and their big brothers, Bhu Keto Bars).

10 Reasons to Love Bhu Keto Bites

How do I love Bhu Keto Bites? Let me count the ways!

1. A Healthy Treat That Tastes Like Raw Cookie Dough

  • These bite-sized mini protein bars are absolutely delicious and have a rich, creamy texture and luscious mouthfeel.

2. High in Protein, Healthy Fats and Fiber

Depending on the cookie dough flavor, these Bhu Keto Bites contain:

  • 6-7g protein
  • 10-12g fat
  • 4-6g dietary fiber

3. Low Carb and Keto Friendly

Depending on the cookie dough flavor, these Bhu Keto Bites contain:

  • 5-7g total carbs
  • 0-1g net carbs

4. Healthy, High Quality, Nutritious Ingredients

  • Organic
  • Non-GMO
  • Minimally processed

"We are committed to 100% organic, clean, ingredients. Our pricing may be slightly higher than the competition, but we believe the investment to your health and towards our planet is well worth it."
— Bhu Foods

5. No Added Sugars

  • 100% free cane sugar. 

"Our mission is to help wean people off of sugar so we wouldn’t think of adding sugar to our bars."
— Bhu Foods

6. Sweetened With Pure Monk Fruit

  • Sweetened with pure monk fruit (aka monk fruit sugar), which has numerous health benefits.
    • Monk fruit sugar is made by infusing the juice of the small, melon-like fruit in hot water and drying it to a powder.
    • It is metabolized differently than regular sugar, has a zero glycemic index and does not affect blood sugar levels or spike insulin, making it a great sugar alternative for diabetics.
    • Monk fruit has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine to treat digestive problems and colds. So, unlike sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners, monk fruit sweetener can help with, rather than cause, intestinal distress.
    • The compounds that give monk fruit sugar its sweetness (mogrosides) have anti-inflammatory effects and can help your body fight cancer.
    • Unlike regular sugar, monk fruit sweetener will not cause cavities. 
    • It's 150-200 times sweeter than cane sugar, so only a small amount is needed to achieve the desired sweetness.

Bhu Foods even has the chocolate chips in these Bhu Bites manufactured to their own specifications and sweetened with pure monk fruit!

7. No Sugar Alcohols

  • Bhu Bites also contain no erythritol or other sugar alcohols that can cause gas, bloating, and diarrhea in some people, or if too much is consumed.

8. Supports a Variety of Dietary Requirements

  • Vegan
  • Gluten-free
  • 100% grain-free
  • 100% soy-free
  • Diabetic-friendly

Allergy warnings: Bhu Bites are manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, tree nuts, eggs and possibly whey and may contain an occasional shell fragment. They also contain cashews and MCT oil (from coconuts). The White Chocolate Macadamia Cookie Dough flavor also contains macadamia nuts, and the 

10. Small But Satisfying

  • Bhu Keto Bites are small but also dense, rich and very satisfying, thanks to the significant amounts of high quality protein, healthy fats and dietary fiber.
  • They're the perfect size to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee or a glass of milk (dairy or plant-based), as a snack, a taste of something sweet after dinner, or any time you're in the mood for "a little something," as Winnie the Pooh would say.
  • I recommend nibbling them slowly to make them last longer so you can savor every bite and prolong the deliciousness!

9. No Refrigeration Needed

  • Unlike their equally delicious and nutritious big brothers, Bhu Keto Bars, Bhu Keto Bites are shelf stable and require no refrigeration. 
  • The manufacturer recommends storing them at 72° F or cooler. During the summer, or if you live in a warmer climate, they also taste great straight from the fridge.

Which Bhu Keto Bites Cookie Dough Flavor Is Your Favorite?

Bhu Keto Bites Variety Pack Honestly, I have a hard time deciding. Usually, it's whichever flavor I'm eating at the moment! All five flavors are wonderful. 

I highly recommend starting with:

  • a Bhu Keto Bites Variety Pack, which includes one bag each of:
    • Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough,
    • White Chocolate Macadamia Cookie Dough,
    • Double Dark Chocolate Cookie Dough 
    • Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

  • BHU Keto Protein Bites Chocolate Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
    Chocolate Mint Cookie Dough Bhu Bites, the newest flavor, which is not included in the Variety Pack assortment. 

After you sample them all, you can reorder your favorite flavors. (If you're like me, that's all five!)

Enjoy!

Note: In addition to ordering Bhu Keto Bites on Amazon, you also may be able to find them at some branches of Whole Foods Market, Wegmans, The Vitamin Shoppe, and other retail stores, depending on where you live.

  1. Oh Margaret, you are right in tune with me.....I need these lovely little snacks that are low in all the right places and full of all the good stuff that my new lifestyle body requires. I joined this journey with you and Barbara and can honestly say that I will never go back to eating the way I used to. I feel so much better, but was missing my snacks. I will definitely try these and let you know how much I like them!

    1. The Chocolate Mint and White Chocolate Macadamia Cookie Dough Bhu Bites are definitely two of my favorite flavors of these treats as well, but I'm surprised by how much I have enjoyed all the flavors they make, even flavors that aren't usually ones I gravitate toward! I hope you get a chance to try these.

  4. Gotta love that Pooh! We all need that "little something" to crush the hunger pains between meals. Finding a delicious snack that fits with a diet is fabulous! Admittedly, snacks are the one thing that can kill an otherwise successful diet.

    1. Like you, I've been a dyed-in-the-wool Pooh fan since I was a little girl. :) I no longer consider myself to be "dieting," but I have made a lifestyle change in terms of how nutritiously I eat and find that absolutely scrumptious treats like these that also happen to fit in with a low carb, high protein way of eating (and also provide some dietary fiber) really help me stick with my new chosen food lifestyle!

  5. Margaret, the carb numbers for these are unreal - crazy good. You ALWAYS introduce us/me to Keto products I haven't tried or even heard off. Your reminder about the benefits of Monk Fruit are appreciated as well - I had forgotten about that - It sounds like you're Keto for life as well - I'm low carb now with all I've been through in the past six months, but still Keto in that the carbs I eat are still controlled and low. This is a Keto snack I could get into!

    1. Barb dear, I'm mostly low carb now, too, but keto-focused in my approach, just like you. These amazing keto-friendly cookie dough bites would be perfect for you, since they're not only delicious and nutritious but also small, and you're not a huge sweets eater!

  6. Margaret thanks so much for this review. Fran and my daughter are always looking for healthy snack alternatives. I'll make sure they both see this one. I could use some healthy snacks myself, as I'm always looking for some sweet treats in the evening.

    1. Thanks so much for sharing my review with Fran and your daughter, Sam! These cookie dough bites should appeal to all three of you. They definitely don't taste like a "diet" anything!

  7. I need to reduce my carbs but can never quite get started. And so many "diet" foods taste bad. BUT... these cookie dough bites sound delicious and seem like a wonderful treat to keep in my desk at work. To provide that sweet treat without all the yuck contained in candy bars (my usual go-to at work).

    1. Dawn, these would make a perfect replacement for your at-work candy bars. They're luscious, don't taste "healthy," just creamy, sweet and delicious, and they're packed with nutritious superfoods. I really hope you give them a try!
