What You Should Know

You'd spot these Coffee Almond Protein Chewy Bites in the snack or health-food section at Whole Foods — an easy grab for a commuter, desk snack, or gym bag. They read as a wholesome-yet-indulgent energy bite (chewy, chocolate-coffee notes) but ingredients like powdered egg whites, rice starch, concentrated juice and “natural flavor” suggest industrial processing and a deliberately engineered shelf-stable texture.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Packaged, shelf-stable snack with processed inputs (powdered egg whites, rice starch, juice concentrate) and added 'natural flavor' fits NOVA 4 — an industrial formulation designed for texture, taste, and convenience rather than whole-food preparation.

Common Questions about Coffee Almond Protein Chewy Bites, 1.58 OZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective! These bites pack a punch with 8 grams of protein per serving, making them a decent snack choice for a post-workout boost or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. They do have 19 grams of sugar, mostly from dates, so if you're keeping an eye on sugar intake, you might want to enjoy them in moderation.
