Blueberry RXBAR — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Blueberry RXBAR by RXBAR MUNCH — score 100/90.

Six ingredients and five of them are food you can picture: dates for glue, egg whites for the 12 grams of protein, nuts and blueberries for the rest. The 'no added sugar' line is technically true — though your bloodstream still meets 13 grams of date sugar per bar. About as honest as the protein-bar aisle gets.

Why this verdict

• Six ingredients, five of them whole foods — dates, egg whites, almonds, cashews, blueberries
• Protein comes from actual egg whites, not isolates, blends, or 'protein crisps'
• No sweetener stacking, no gums, no emulsifiers — the snack rules find nothing to trigger
• All 13g of sugar is from dates: natural and fibre-wrapped, but still sugar your body counts
• 'Natural blueberry flavor' needed on top of real blueberries — the one small asterisk on a 'No B.S.' label
