What You Should Know

A grab-and-go coffee-almond protein bite you'd spot on Whole Foods’ snack shelf or near the checkout — handy for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up or stashed in a work bag. It gives a healthy-indulgent vibe: reminiscent of homemade energy balls (dates, almond butter, cacao) but packaged and uniform. The use of powdered egg whites, rice starch, white grape juice concentrate and "natural flavor" points to industrial formulation that produces a consistent chewy texture and shelf stability, typical of ultra-processed snacks.

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Contains industrial ingredients and formulations (white grape juice concentrate, rice starch, powdered egg whites, "natural flavor") and is a ready-to-eat marketed snack; despite whole-food components like dates and almonds, this combination and processing align with NOVA group 4 (ultra-processed).

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.
