IG® Micellar Casein, Conguitos Galleta Chocolate 1kg - thick dessert protein supplement, cookie & milk chocolate flavor

BIG® Micellar Casein Conguitos® Galleta Chocolate is a limited edition dessert casein with a cookie and milk chocolate flavor, based on high-quality Arla® protein ingredients. It is a product for those who enjoy a distinct chocolate flavor with a buttery, biscuit background and a creamy, thick consistency typical of good micellar casein.

The base consists of Lacprodan® MicelPure™ – a natural micellar casein isolate – and Lacprodan® SP-8011V whey protein concentrate. These ingredients are valued for their purity, solubility, and neutral flavor profile, which means that the taste of the additives is not distorted.

The key element of this edition are pieces of Conguitos® Galleta Chocolate. This is a development of the classic Spanish Conguitos – instead of the traditional peanut in the middle, there is a filling inspired by digestive biscuits: slightly buttery, crumbly, with a delicate caramel note. In this version, the whole thing is covered in milk chocolate, which gives the flavor a more classic, chocolate-biscuit character.

When you open the package, you can smell the aroma of milk chocolate – sweet, creamy, with a delicate hint of cocoa – and the subtle scent of baked cookies. This is not heavy, bitter chocolate. The profile is closer to a chocolate bar with a cookie inside.

The first impression on the palate is smooth, milk chocolate. This is followed by a buttery cookie note – delicately crumbly, slightly caramelized. The pieces of additives give the shake a fine texture, so that the whole is not as uniform as a classic cocktail. It is more like a dessert cream with crushed biscuits than a regular supplement.

The consistency is the strong point of this product. Micellar casein naturally thickens the liquid. With a standard amount of water, you get a creamy shake. With less water, you get a thick pudding with a distinct dessert character. It's the type of product that you can easily eat with a spoon.

The macronutrients remain very competitive for a version with additives. In a 30 g serving, you get a solid dose of protein with relatively low fat and carbohydrate content. Casein digests slowly, releasing amino acids gradually over several hours, making it a particularly good choice for the evening.

It works well as:

• a thick shake for the night,
• a spread for protein pancakes and waffles,
• a base for healthy desserts such as cold cheesecake,
• an addition to oatmeal or rice cream if you want to achieve a cookie & milk chocolate effect.

This is an option for those who prefer a classic milk chocolate flavor with a distinct biscuit accent. Dessert-like, but not overly sweet. Thick, creamy, and distinctly cookie-like – in a version that still maintains a high level of protein quality.
