What You Should Know

You'd spot this small pack in the grab-and-go snack aisle or the health-food bar section — perfect for tossing into a lunchbox or pocket before a busy errand. It feels like a wholesome, slightly indulgent throwback to cinnamon-apple chewy snacks but positioned as a protein-forward, convenient treat. The texture and shelf-stable sweetness come from processed components (fruit concentrate, starches, pea crisps and 'natural flavors'), which are typical clues of industrial reformulation rather than a simple homemade bite.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although it contains whole ingredients like dates, oats and pumpkin seed butter, the presence of concentrated juices, isolated/processed components (pea protein crisps, rice starch, tapioca fiber) and 'natural flavor' indicates industrial formulations characteristic of NOVA group 4 (ultraprocessed).

Common Questions about Cinnamon Apple Protein Chewy Bites, 1.58 OZ

When it comes to snacks, 'healthy' can be pretty subjective! These chewy bites are made with wholesome ingredients like dates, oats, and pumpkin seed butter, offering a decent amount of fiber and protein. While they do have 20 grams of sugar per serving, most of it comes naturally from the dates and apple powder, so think of it as a sweet treat with some nutritional perks!
