What You Should Know

You'd find these mini S'mores protein bars in the grab-and-go snack or fitness aisle, tossed into a gym bag or slipped into a lunchbox as a quick sweet hit. They trade on a nostalgic campfire flavor while positioning themselves as a convenient high-protein snack. The long ingredients list (protein isolates, syrups, glycerin, emulsifiers and natural flavors) and uniform chewy texture signal industrial formulation and extended shelf life typical of ultraprocessed foods.
