Enlightened Keto Cookie Dough Bites, Ranked

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Syracuse chapter.

I have been an Enlightened Ice Cream fanatic for years. As a Nutrition student with a sweet tooth, I am always looking for something satisfactory without all the added sugar and calories. Enlightened is famous for its ability to cater its product to various dietary types. It aims to serve as a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream while keeping consistent the creamy texture and delectable ice cream flavor we all know and love. While they have various product lines, my favorite is their low-calorie flavors. You can’t go wrong with their 100 calorie “Brownies & Cookie Dough” and “Monkey Business.”

When I found out they were making Keto Cookie Dough bites, I just had to get my hands on them. Let me tell you, these definitely lived up to the hype. The flavors include Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Snickerdoodle, Birthday Cake, and Fudge Brownie. Now, some definitely stood out to me more than others, but overall you could say I was impressed. Here is a complete ranking of my favorite flavors, least to greatest:

5.) Snickerdoodle:

Starting with #5, we have Snickerdoodle. These bites resemble the traditional cinnamon and sugar coated cookie perfectly. They are dusted with just the right amount of cinnamon and Enlightened’s choice of sugar substitutes like monk fruit. If you enjoy the taste of monk fruit sweetener, these are just the snack for you. How crazy is it that these bites are considered Keto right? I know, I told you they live up to the hype.

4.) Chocolate Chip

While Chocolate Chip is usually my go-to flavor, Enlightened also created even more unique flavors like Birthday Cake, Peanut Butter, and Fudge Brownie which just take the cake for me. This flavor though is right on target in terms of your classic cookie dough. It is both soft and chewy and each bite is packed with chocolate chips. I mean you really can’t go wrong with the classic chocolate chip, especially when its technically healthier, right? We’ll go with it. 

3.) Birthday Cake

There is something about the taste of birthday cake that just takes me back to my childhood. This treat is deliciously sweet and resembles the most amazing vanilla birthday cake. Each bite is packed with sprinkles and the best part of all–there are only 2 net carbs per 24 bites! With something this delicious, you will absolutely forget you are eating a Keto snack–trust me. 

2.) Peanut Butter

This flavor is hands-down one of the best of all. I am such a peanut butter fanatic, it really just satisfies the craving perfectly. The texture is seriously creamy and buttery just like the real thing. If you love peanut butter as much as I do, definitely give this flavor a try.

1.) Fudge Brownie

Now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for….

Coming in at #1, we have the Fudge Brownie flavor. I swear, these taste just like the brownie bites you would find in a pint of traditional ice cream. They are really just out of this world.

Definitely give these bites a go. If you do, I want to hear your ranking. Will fudge brownie rank #1 for you as well?  

I have wanted to join Spoon University for as long as I can remember so I am so excited to finally be a part of it!
