What You Should Know

You’d spot this bar on the natural snacks or protein bar shelf at a grocery or tucked into a gym bag for a quick bite between meetings. It gives a wholesome, banana-bread-meets-indulgence vibe — soft, chewy with chocolate chips — and the ingredient list of whole organic nuts, dates, syrups and powders suggests minimal industrial additives, though it’s a manufactured packaged snack rather than a fresh food.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Ingredients are whole or culinary (almonds, dates, maple syrup, etc.) with no obvious industrial additives or isolates, but the product is a processed packaged bar combining those ingredients, fitting NOVA group 3 (processed) rather than ultra-processed.

Common Questions about Organic Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Protein Bar, 1.76 OZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? This bar is made from wholesome ingredients like organic almonds, dates, and banana powder, so it’s definitely a step up from many sugary snacks. It’s high in fiber and has no added sugars or preservatives, making it a good option for a snack or on-the-go treat, especially if you’re looking for something more nutritious than a candy bar.
