What You Should Know

You'd spot this 1.5 oz peanut butter chocolate chip energy bar on a gym shelf, in the checkout aisle, or tucked into a backpack for a road trip or busy workday. It feels conveniently indulgent—comforting peanut butter and chewy oats with sweet chocolate chips while being marketed as an energy-boosting snack. The ingredients and uniform texture (dried egg-white protein, packaged chocolate chips, shelf-stable bar format) point to industrial processing and formulation for consistent mouthfeel and shelf life.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Though it uses recognizable ingredients like peanuts, oats, dates and honey, the inclusion of processed components (dried egg-white protein, manufactured chocolate chips) and the ready-to-eat packaged formulation indicate industrial processing and formulation consistent with NOVA 4 (ultra-processed) foods.

Common Questions about Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Energy Bars, 1.5 OZ

The Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Energy Bar can be considered a healthier snack option, especially compared to many traditional candy bars. It packs a decent amount of protein and healthy fats from the peanut butter, and the ingredients are pretty straightforward. However, 'healthy' is subjective — it's great for a quick energy boost, but if you're looking for something low-calorie or super high in fiber, you might want to look elsewhere.
