I have to admit, drinking black coffee on its own gets pretty boring and uninteresting for me. I always crave something extra – like a snack, some cheese, a tasty sandwich, or something sweet, but without doing too much harm to my figure.
One day, I picked up a gift set of sugar-free sweets at Aisha. It had a lot of new and interesting items in it. I'd never tried protein wafers before, and I have to admit, I'd never even heard of Dubai chocolate – it just wasn't something I'd come across in stores.
Price: around 140 rubles. Buying in bulk is a better deal – you get 12 pieces for around 1,300 rubles, and you can sometimes find it even cheaper on sale.
Weight: 45 g
Here are a few more sweets from the set in the photo below. The protein wafer Snaq Fabriq glazed Snaqfer Dubai Collection with pistachio paste and crunchy crust really stands out, even though it's incredibly light.
💚 Main info
I thought the Dubai chocolate trend was over, but it's actually gaining momentum. This one's got a pretty loud name – 'Dubai Collection' – and the packaging is done in a luxurious gold tone. It looks really expensive and fancy, but until you pick it up, the gold doesn't feel as heavy as you'd expect.
The wafer itself is incredibly light, but it looks really appetizing when you cut into it – and the 'sugar-free' label is a nice touch, too. Maybe I'll be able to eat fewer calories and carbs.
On the back, there's information about the nutritional value, the production date, and the expiration date. There are also the manufacturer's contact details. The ingredients are a bit hard to read, though – they're hidden under the seam.
Ingredients:
The ingredients list is a bit of a mystery to me, to be honest, since I'm not exactly a nutrition expert. But I'll be reviewing this waffle bar from a taste enthusiast's perspective.
What caught my attention in the ingredients list was the presence of pistachios and that crunchy pastry. And yes, it's all there, which is a plus.
Calories per serving:
183 kcal
It's not like there's a huge difference when compared to sugar-glazed waffles. Out of curiosity, I checked the calorie count for Yashkin's waffles, and 40 grams of those will set you back 212 kcal.
💚 How it looks
The packaging is definitely more appealing than the waffle bar itself. It's rectangular in shape, covered in milk chocolate on top. But the coating is super thin, and you can actually see the waffle underneath at times.
It's not exactly pretty on the sides, either, with the chocolate coating looking a bit messy and uneven. And don't even get me started on how sticky it is – it's like it's clinging to your hands. Maybe I just stored them at room temperature, but it's definitely not ideal. You might want to keep them in the fridge instead.
I was curious to see how the combination of kataifi test and pistachio paste would turn out, so I decided to split it into two parts.
The slice already looks great - you can see all the layers, the green pistachio paste, a few layers of thin waffle, and a dense, caramelized dough. I was impressed by the slice.
💚 Taste and my impressions
I had the protein waffle as a dessert, paired with black coffee without sugar. I was expecting something fantastic and unreal, given all the hype around the Dubai chocolate.
But it's just an unusual treat, there's no distinct pistachio flavor, but the kataifi crunches, and there's a caramel-like taste. The waffle is also very airy, and the chocolate glaze is smooth, with a creamy undertone.
It's not cloying, sweetness is just right, but after eating it, you might want something to drink. There's a sense of satisfaction, and after I finished my portion, I didn't crave any other sweets.
Compared to protein bars, the waffle is a world apart - it's super soft, melts in your mouth, except for the fact that the dough can stick to your teeth and cause discomfort. But it's not got that dense, dry texture you get from protein bars.
✅ Pros:
Unique taste Light snack without sugar Crunchy
❌ Cons:
Chocolate stains your hands The filling can stick to your teeth I was expecting more Snack Fabriq's Protein Wafer Bar with Pistachio Paste and Crunchy Crust is a great option for those looking for a light and satisfying snack. The taste is unique and enjoyable, but I'm still not convinced it's worth the 140 ruble price tag for such a small wafer.I'd say the build quality is decent, but the packaging could be improved. The chocolate coating is a bit messy, and the filling can stick to your teeth. However, the combination of kataifi and pistachio paste is a nice touch, and the calories per serving are relatively low.
Overall, I'd give this protein waffle 4 out of 5 stars. It's a great option for those looking for a light and satisfying snack, but the price might be a bit steep for some people.
As for the value for money, I'm not sure if it's worth the 140 ruble price tag. It's a bit steep for a small wafer, but I suppose it's worth it if you're looking for a high-quality protein snack. However, if you're on a budget, you might want to consider other options.
