Matcha Vanilla Protein Bar, 1.4 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this bar in the natural/health snack aisle or tucked into the protein-bar section—an easy grab-and-go for a gym bag, office drawer, or travel snack. It projects a 'healthy-indulgent' vibe: matcha and nuts suggest wholesomeness while a white-chocolate flavored coating and sweet syrups deliver a dessert-like treat. The long ingredient list (isolated pea protein crisps, syrups, vegetable glycerine, flavored coating and emulsifiers) and crunchy crisps signal intensive industrial processing, so expect a chewy, slightly crunchy texture typical of NOVA 4 products.
