Product Snapshot: 5G was so last year! Following a mysterious press release announcing the debut of 18G, the fun-loving originators of the protein cookie, Lenny & Larry's, is proud to announce the introduction of their newest, 18G—as in 18 grams of protein—cookie: Lenny & Larry's The Boss! Cookie. Powered by dairy and plant protein, Lenny & Larry's The Boss! Cookie is ready to fuel snackers nationwide and makes the switch from 5G to 18G easier than ever.

Lenny & Larry's The Boss! Cookie is a high-protein treat, perfect for consumers looking to optimize their performance and exceed their fitness goals. Each 2-ounce cookie contains 18 grams of protein, 1g of sugar and 6g of prebiotic fiber baked to perfection with clean, Non-GMO ingredients. Lenny & Larry's is partnering with Athletics-based TV Personality and Stuntwoman, Jessie Graff, to share the exciting news and challenge health and fitness enthusiasts everywhere.

Lenny & Larry's and Jessie Graff are ready to see you show off your superhero powers with their Boss Up! Challenge, pushing the boundaries of athleticism to the next level. Over the course of four weeks (February 17th – March 16th) contestants of the Boss Up! Challenge are encouraged to submit videos showing off their strength, agility or balance similar to those of Jessie. Putting those at-home workouts to the test, contestants will be judged based on criteria such as vigor, speed, creativity, style and more. Not ready to put those super-human skills to the test? Not to worry! Contestants can also participate by dressing the part and wear their top costume or gear to catch Jessie's eye! Top contestants will be invited to take their talents to the Ninja Nation stage (Ninja Nation is not affiliated with American Ninja Warrior) for a live (socially-distanced) competition in April and the winner will receive a year's supply of Lenny & Larry's The Boss! Cookie and a private training session with Jessie Graff.

"With the introduction of Lenny & Larry's The Boss! Cookie, we are delighted to offer a protein-packed treat that will help consumers perform at their best and take their fitness gains to new levels," said Lenny & Larry's CEO, Jolie Weber. "We invite all fitness fanatics to test their limits and join us for our Boss Up! Challenge with Jessie Graff to showcase their strength, agility and balance."

"As a stuntwoman, I need nutritious snacks with maximum deliciousness and convenience to stay in superhero shape. Lenny & Larry's The Boss! Cookie has enough protein to help my muscles recover after crazy workouts and even crazier workdays," said Jessie Graff. "The Boss Up! Challenge is a celebration of fitness, and I'm thrilled to partner with Lenny & Larry's to highlight the superhero lifestyle and encourage everyone to have fun testing their limits!"
