Sponsored: There’s a familiar trade-off with most protein snacks: the macros are solid, but the taste rarely matches. CHIKALAB’s new Protein Dessert Wafers aim to close that gap.

The wafers layer a crisp base with a creamy filling and a coating of real milk chocolate, delivering 20% protein and 20% fibre per 100g, with no added sugar. They’re also gluten-free, making them a straightforward fit for people managing dietary restrictions alongside their fitness goals.

Rather than leading with the macros, the brand is putting the eating experience front and centre, arguing that its wafers hold their own against any indulgent snack on the shelf, protein content aside. By using real milk chocolate rather than a compound coating, and building in a proper textural contrast between the wafer layers and the filling, CHIKALAB is aiming the product at people who want a dessert experience they’d choose regardless of its nutritional label.

The range comes in three flavours, Chocolate Nut, Creamy Nut, and Coconut Almond, giving enough variety to suit different cravings. For anyone counting macros, cutting carbs, or simply trying to reduce sugar intake without giving up dessert altogether, the wafers are ideal to slot into a pre-workout snack, a post-workout treat, or an afternoon pick-me-up at the desk.

UAE consumers are paying closer attention to sugar content than ever before, with no added sugar and higher protein and fibre increasingly what health-conscious shoppers are actively seeking out, rather than settling for. CHIKALAB’s wafers are here for that shift: dessert that doesn’t ask shoppers to choose sides.
