The Peanut Butter Choc Chip Protein Cookie Just Won a Nexty Award. Here's What That Means.

The natural food industry's peer-judged award went to a cookie — not a health product. The 2026 Nexty Award — Best Vegan Product.

The Nexty Awards are chosen by the natural food industry itself — buyers, founders, and editors who spend their careers deciding what belongs on the shelf and what doesn't. When they named the Peanut Butter Choc Chip Protein Cookie the 2026 Best Vegan Product, they weren't evaluating a protein snack. They were evaluating a cookie.

That distinction matters to us.

This is not a product designed around a claim. It's a cookie — salty, deeply satisfying, thick and chewy — that happens to be 100% organic, vegan, grain free, and gluten friendly. The protein is there. The fiber is there. But neither one is the reason this cookie tastes the way it does. The reason it tastes the way it does is that we used real ingredients, made no compromises, and held the No Naughty Ingredients® standard across every gram.

The industry noticed. The Nexty panel noticed. And if you’ve had one, you already know.
