Review & Release History of Redefine Foods Protein Pie, Syruvia Dubai Syrup, & More

Review

These are unique–not exactly for sweets lovers nor those looking for some super high-end treat. It falls somewhere in the middle, leaning towards premium while also providing enough sweetness to satisfy most.

Individually wrapped, each piece has a thick, moderately sweet-tasting, creamy dark chocolate, a thick white soft-solid filling, and a decent amount of crunchy pieces on top that add to the already pleasurable mouthfeel.

As a coconut fan, I would have thought the coconut would be stronger (it’s the white inner part, right?), but it’s definitely tame, and what it does offer is more genuine–less of a “coconut candy” or something artificial, so to speak. Overall, to me, it’s mostly dark chocolate with an essence of this coconut and a surprising note of a “chocolate chip cookie” taste. At the same time, a smidge of caramel elevates its sweetness and other flavors a touch.

It all forms an interesting combination, from flavor to its composition, that works well with one another, offering something I believe most will enjoy.

These are more or less your average filled waffle cones, though, perhaps one of the darker ones you may come across. Despite being on the darker side, it’s reasonably sweet, creamy, and not at all bitter–it’s a pleasant treat even if you aren’t into dark chocolates. The entire cone is uniform with this flavor as both the shell and filling taste identical. Personally, I would have liked to see some variation in some way.

Like other waffle cones, the filling is a soft-solid, and the shell provides a light, crunchy contrast. Together, they provide a good enough and contrasting mouthfeel to be appreciable.

Not to mention, the packaging is definitely cool!

Review

I’ve had plenty of sugar-free syrups from all different brands, and truth be told, Syruvia and its Dubai flavor are a first for me. I didn’t know what to expect, especially since many Dubai-based snacks and treats have been letdowns.

Trying this by itself using a little spoon, I notice the chocolate tastes cheap and dull, and there seems to be some equally light nut flavor alongside it. I didn’t like it… until I threw some into my coffee.

The taste was definitely better. You could taste the chocolate as well as a pistachio-like flavor. Both are about equally represented and don’t come across as more artificial or fake than any other brand with chocolate or nutty-based syrup offerings. Basically, in a way, it’s pretty average and tasty enough to enjoy, especially if you want something with flavor notes of regular chocolate and pistachio.

Release Date

While I can’t find an exact release date, mentions of this date date back to mid-2025. Found early October 2025 on Amazon.

Review

What I love about these is the nuance of the seasonings they added. You get a bit of everything: sweet, tangy, salty, and a small kick–exactly as advertised! Notably, however, I don’t think this gives off the full chamoy-like vibes that you experience with other treats. This feels milder; it’s less sweet and definitely less spicy overall, which, in essence, makes it feel like it misses the mark on the bold, iconic chamoy flavor. There is also some lime flavoring, for better or worse.

Released around February 2025. Found on Vitacost mid-October 2025.

One of my favorite Chips Ahoy! to date! This is how you do cookie butter! After being let down by so many snacks and treats that advertise cookie butter for being plain and not sweet enough, this comes through!

You have a vanilla cookie flavor; however, what instantly takes over is the clear, distinct, sweet cookie butter taste. You can even taste what makes it up–some cinnamon, sugar, and a smidge of other seasonings–nothing artificial or bitter here either! Really, it’s very pronounced and unmistakable–they seemed to have dialed up the sugar in this Chips Ahoy! cookie, which elevates it all, so if you want a sugary cookie butter, this is it! Not to mention, the white chips are generous and further give it a very smooth and creamy flavor.

Composition-wise, these are just like your regular chewy Chips Ahoy! cookies, except filled with a good amount of cookie butter-flavored filling. It’s got a great, soft mouthfeel overall, and then when combined with the sweet and tasty flavors, it just really makes it addictive to eat!

Review

When I open this up, I smell a semi-sweet vanilla–it’s nice. Then biting in, it’s mostly that with a hint of butter. Is it pancake tasting? Not exactly, though you could argue it has the vibes of it. Basically, a lightly sweet, vanilla, and buttery-tasting treat.

The texture is really where it comes alive. It’s so soft, like a puffed popcorn that is both thick and melts in your mouth–I love it.

Both of these bars are similar in their composition. A reasonably thick, semi-dry cake with a thin layer of icing and an equally thin sticky marshmallow center. This isn’t much different than a regular Moon Pie, although I feel it has less filling overall. Even when you heat it up, it achieves a similar texture–and better, I might add–becoming softer, moister, more flavorful, and even the filling itself perfectly resembles a melted sticky marshmallow as it oozes out and becomes stringy.

Like a Moon Pie, the flavors are about identical to them. The Chocolate version here has a mildly sweet, dark chocolate flavor, while Vanilla tastes more drab, essentially a very plain vanilla-esque cookie flavor that really needs both flavor and sweetness to make a noticeable impact. And then with their dryness, the cakes themselves just aren’t too great and feel cheap–just like a Moon Pie; so I guess if you’re into that, you’ll enjoy these.

Notably, these have zero artificialness or any weird protein taste. As I said before, these are very accurate in their renditions of Moon Pies. If you like Moon Pies, you’ll enjoy these.

At the very least, I suggest popping them into the microwave for a few seconds.

Review

Meh. It’s boring.

First, we can ignore the filling because there’s barely any of it here–nothing, and I mean nothing, like the picture. Secondly, why is everything so dry? It’s not desert dry, but for a pie or cookie-based treat, it definitely needs more moisture.

The pie shell itself is reasonably thick, though again, a bit dry, while also having some chewiness; essentially, these are kind of like a more plain, less desirably textured peanut cookie. At the very least, I didn’t get any artificialness. Unfortunately, this needs to improve its texture and throw in some more sweetness.

Released around early 2024. Found mid-October 2025 on Netrition.

Yup, it’s a nut roll–you know, those literal treats called “Nut Roll” at the checkout counter? It’s identical, giving zero vibes or any hints of it being a protein bar. What you get is the tradition, smooth and mildly sweet, genuine peanut taste throughout.

It sports a soft, crunchy peanut outside that surrounds a more chewy and thin peanut layer, which keeps it intact. Unfortunately, I’m personally not too big into these or other nut rolls as I prefer a sweeter, stronger peanut flavor.

Release Date

Released March 2025. Found mid-October 2025 on Netrition.
