What You Should Know

You'd spot these S'mores Minis in the protein/energy bar aisle, at gym convenience shelves, or near checkout — a small grab-and-go snack for busy days and short outings. They lean on nostalgic s'mores flavors while projecting a 'healthy protein' vibe; the long list of isolated proteins, sweeteners (brown rice syrup, sugar), glycerin, refined oils, emulsifiers and natural flavors signals heavy industrial processing that yields a soft, chewy texture, stable shelf life, and other ultra-processed characteristics.
