Kind Snacks are a healthy pick-me-up

It’s rare that you find a company that bases its advertising on what’s not in its product rather than what is, but Kind Snacks does just that.

On the front label of its tasty little protein bars, it promotes that they have no artificial ingredients, no gluten, no GMOs, no soy, no dairy and very little sugar and salt. The calories rarely exceed 200, and if you limit yourself to the nuts bars, usually contain at least 6 grams of protein.

The company, which started in 2004 with eight different flavors of bars and now offers everything from granola to nuts, just added some striking new flavors worth trying out.

A longtime fan of their dark chocolate nuts and sea salt bar, I grabbed the chili almond version at an airport Starbucks this week and loved the hot kick it imparts. Along those lines, Kind Snacks is appealing to heat-seekers with bars in Thai chili and roasted jalapeno.

For those who love a smoky taste, they’re offering honey barbeque, hickory smoke and honey mustard versions, most with almonds and 10 grams of protein.

For those who want something that tastes like a candy bar but isn’t (that would be me), dark chocolate mocha almond and caramel almond sea salt would fill your bill.

Happy snacking.
