Bulletproof

Rated at 2/5 green leaves, the Bulletproof Collagen Protein Bar Fudge Brownie is positioned as a cleaner food option but falls short due to several ingredients that do not align with the highest standards of health and wellness.

The product is not organic, which detracts from its clean food credentials, leading to a deduction in its green leaf rating. The use of non-GMO ingredients is a positive aspect, but this is overshadowed by the inclusion of added sugars in the form of Stevia and Stevia Leaf Extract. While Stevia is a common sugar substitute thought to be healthier than refined sugar, it is still a processed additive and does not meet the criteria for a top-rated clean food product on our website.

Furthermore, the presence of ‘Natural Flavors’ in the ingredient list is concerning. The term ‘natural flavors’ is often a catch-all for various chemical additives that are not disclosed on the label, casting doubt on the product’s clean status. The same skepticism extends to the use of safflower oil, which is considered a harmful oil due to its potential processing methods and fat composition.

The Bulletproof Collagen Protein Bar also contains inulin, hydrolyzed collagen, MCT oil powder, cocoa powder, cashew meal, sunflower lecithin, sea salt, and vanilla extract. While some of these ingredients, like hydrolyzed collagen and MCT oil powder, are often sought after for their purported health benefits, their presence does not compensate for the other less desirable ingredients.

This product has room for improvement, particularly in its selection of sweeteners, flavors, and oils. By opting for entirely organic components and eliminating questionable additives, the product could achieve a higher standard of healthfulness and earn a better rating. Until such changes are made, it remains a less optimal choice for consumers seeking the cleanest food options available.
