Junk Food for the Macro-Conscious
By John C. Griffin on Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2025
I think there are two things people need to consider when trying a product like this. These are replacements for Pop-Tarts. If you don't know what a Pop-Tart is, or aren't looking for a Pop-Tart like product, this isn't for you. Pop-Tarts are junk food and are not some culinary delicacy. Secondly, this is for those that need a bump in protein or are calorie counting and need to meet macros. The first two ingredients are Casein and Whey protein. These are slow digesting and rapid digesting protein ingredients. These are powdery and milky ingredients commonly used as the base for protein powders. This is an approximation of junk food with some flavor compromises that are common with products like this, that allow for some guilty pleasure. Being sweet is expected but this is still not as sweet as a real Pop-Tart. It tastes "off" or "powdery" is also expected, considering its primary ingredients. Getting that out of the way, I think Legendary makes great approximations of the products they're mimicking with higher protein content that allows individuals a chance to eat "junk food" with some benefits of meeting macros and calorie goals. Products like this are generally more expensive than the cheaper real product. I would suggest finding these locally if possible before buying an entire box. At least in the US, these are commonly found in Target and some grocery stores. I would try a single pack before committing to a full box to see if this product is for you.

Sweet sticky and artificial
By Michael Kashtan on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2025
I recently had the chance to try this legendary protein cakes and I must say, it was an experience I won’t forget—though I wish I could. **Flavor** From the moment I took my first bite, I was overwhelmed by an excessively sweet flavor that lingered long after. The sweetness bordered on cloying, making it nearly impossible to savor any other notes or nuances in the product. For those who have a sweet tooth, this may seem appealing, but for me, it was a sugar overload that detracted from any potential enjoyment. **Texture** The texture of was another downside. It had an incredibly gooey consistency that felt almost unpalatable. Instead of being pleasant and easy to chew, it was akin to eating a overly sticky dessert that clung to my teeth and made the overall experience quite unpleasant. **Overall Impression** Regrettably, I would not recommend to anyone who appreciates a balanced flavor profile or a texture that is easy to consume. It seemed to lack the refinement that good products should have. If you find yourself drawn to products that are excessively sweet and gooey, this might be something to try, but personally, it was not for me. **Conclusion** In conclusion, it missed the mark significantly with its overpoweringly sweet flavor and unpleasant sticky texture.
