🍫🧂 HEART Exam: KIND Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt Bar
H = Health Check 🩺
I’m a big fan of the chocolate + salt combo, so this label had my attention right away. Each bar reports 5g sugar, 6g protein, and 7g fiber (hello, digestion goals 🙋♀️). It’s gluten free ✅, non-GMO verified 🌱, no sugar alcohol 🙌, and zero trans fat. The fat mostly comes from nuts (the heart-healthy kind, not the cheeseburger kind 🍔). Bonus: a sprinkle of calcium (4%) and a dash of iron (6%). Not a multivitamin by any means, but every smidge counts!
E = Eating Experience 😋
First bite? Instant love. The salty crunch + chocolate combo is basically my snack love language. 💕 I can taste the almonds and peanuts clearly, and they give it that satisfying crunch. My only wish? A dairy-free caramel version (because caramel + chocolate + salt = ultimate snack heaven). Sadly, all the caramel KIND bars I’ve seen have dairy. Boo. 👎
A = Accessibility 🛒
These guys are everywhere. I grabbed mine at Jewel during a 10 for $10 sale (best feeling ever 🤑). You’ll likely find them at most grocery stores or big-box shops, so no treasure hunt required.
taR = Rhythm Rating ❤️🔥
This one gets sinus tachycardia—translation: it makes my foodie heart beat a little faster. 💓 I usually keep these stocked at home because they’re the perfect grab-and-go snack. They’ve saved me for breakfast, a rushed lunch, or even mid-walk munchies. Downside? The chocolate melts faster than you can say “nurse on the run.” Keep napkins (or maybe gloves 🧤) nearby if it’s warm out or if your purse doubles as a sauna.
T = Tell Others 📣
Do I share? Sometimes. 😏 My nut-loving friends get a bite, but this isn’t a bar I stash for my mom—she’s not as nut-obsessed as I am. Would I recommend to the whole world? Not my job. I’m just sharing my KIND (and kind of messy) experience.
Snack safe, live happy/healthy, and may your chocolate stay solid until you’re ready to eat it. 🍫✨
Stay safe/happy/healthy
