The catch

All 9g of sugar are added sugar and the first ingredient is a syrup, so this is a sweet snack with some protein rather than a clean protein bar. (source)

The honest take

This is a crunchy kid granola bar that layers in 5g of protein from whey and pea at 130 calories per 36g bar. The catch is sweetness, because all 9g of sugar are added and the very first ingredient is organic tapioca syrup, followed by three more sweeteners. That makes it read more like a lightly fortified treat than a real protein snack. If you want a gluten free, non GMO lunchbox bar with no artificial sweeteners, it delivers, but adults chasing protein will find far more per calorie elsewhere.
