Think!

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Think! High Protein Bar, Chocolate Mint, falls short of our clean food standards. This score reflects the product’s inclusion of ingredients that do not align with our health-conscious criteria.

The bar is not organic, which results in an immediate deduction due to the potential presence of pesticides and other chemicals that can be found in non-organic foods. Additionally, there is no assurance that the ingredients are non-GMO. The use of genetically modified organisms is a concern for many consumers looking for natural food options.

Maltitol syrup, a sugar alcohol, is present in the bar. While it provides sweetness, it is an added sugar that may have adverse health effects, such as digestive discomfort and potential impacts on blood sugar levels. The bar also contains several additives, including natural flavor, soy lecithin, and glycerin. These substances are often used to enhance taste, texture, and shelf life, but their inclusion is not favored by those seeking minimally processed options.

Furthermore, the Think! High Protein Bar incorporates palm kernel oil, which is a type of palm oil. Palm oils have been criticized for their environmental impact, as well as their potential health implications when consumed in large amounts. This contributes to our decision to advise against this product.

Our evaluation system prioritizes clean, wholesome ingredients, and the Think! High Protein Bar falls short in this regard. With a 1/5 green leaf rating, we recommend consumers look for alternative products that better meet the standards of those seeking cleaner, more natural food options.
