Rating: Average
- 3 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, the Bulletproof Protein Crisp Bar Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip is a mid-range option for those seeking cleaner food products. The bar is free from organic certification and does not exclusively use non-GMO ingredients, two factors that contribute to its average rating on our scale. Additionally, the presence of sweeteners like stevia and erythritol, although not traditional sugars, are counted against the product due to their classification as added sugars.
The ingredient list features pea protein crisps, peanut butter, and inulin, among other components. The inclusion of chocolate chips sweetened with stevia and erythritol might appeal to those looking to reduce sugar intake, but it still affects the product’s overall score. Peanut flour, gum acacia, and roasted peanuts contribute to the protein content, while glycerin is used as a humectant to maintain moisture. However, the bar loses points for containing glycerin and natural flavors, which are deemed potentially harmful additives.
Moreover, the bar’s formulation includes MCT oil derived from highly refined coconut oil, which is a source of medium-chain triglycerides known for their energy-yielding properties. Sunflower lecithin serves as an emulsifier, ensuring a consistent texture. The product also contains less than 2% of other ingredients, such as sea salt, natural flavors, mixed tocopherols for preservation, almond meal, and monk fruit extract, an alternative sweetener.
The Bulletproof Protein Crisp Bar Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip offers a balance between health-conscious ingredients and those that are less ideal for a clean diet. While it does not rank among the top-tier health food options, it stands as a reasonable choice for consumers looking for a moderately healthier snack alternative. The bar’s score reflects both its strengths in providing protein and fiber, and its weaknesses, including the lack of organic certification and the use of certain additives and sweeteners.
