↓ Full nutrition💚 Why it's loved

⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high carbohydrate and sugar content (25g per 100g) can lead to a rapid blood sugar spike, especially without balancing nutrients. The yogurt coating often contains added sugars and saturated fats. To counteract, pair it with a source of protein or healthy fat (like a handful of nuts or a cheese stick) to slow digestion, and practice strict portion control by sticking to a single bar.
Key benefits
- Excellent source of dietary fiber (22.5g per 100g)

- Convenient, portable snack format
- Offers a small amount of plant-based protein

FAQ
Is this a healthy breakfast option?
It can be part of a balanced breakfast due to its high fiber content, but it's low in protein and often high in added sugar. For a more balanced meal, pair it with a protein source like Greek yogurt, eggs, or a protein shake.
Why is the fiber content so high?
The bar is made with concentrated sources of fiber like whole grain oats, chicory root fiber (inulin), and possibly other added fibers, which are used for texture, binding, and nutritional claims.
Can I eat this if I'm lactose intolerant?
The yogurt coating contains milk derivatives, so it may not be suitable. Check the label for specific allergen information, as formulations vary.
