Are Kind Clusters Good For You?

The minis are basically the original KIND® snack bars in a smaller size, while the healthy grains clusters contain oats, brown rice, and other grains like amaranth and millet with nuts and spices.

Some of the protein in the bar comes from soy protein isolate, a highly processed ingredient. Kind bars carry a “good source of fiber” claim. The FDA defines “good source” as 10 to 19 percent of the DRV for a nutrient. In this case, that’s 2.5 to 4.75 grams of fiber—and the Kind bars in question do meet the definition.

Also, powders and spices like cinnamon, carob powder, milk powder, and chicory root fiber are seen in many KIND® snack bar flavors. Other KIND® products include KIND® kids snack bars, KIND® protein, KIND® healthy grains bars, KIND® healthy grains clusters, KIND® breakfast bars, pressed by KIND®, fruit bites, KIND® minis, and KIND® sweet & spicy.

What are the Nutrition Facts For KIND bars?

On the company’s official website, KIND describes their KIND bars as consisting of “whole ingredients like nuts, mixed with fruits and spices bound together with honey.”

KIND has trademarked the phrase “Ingredients You Can See and Pronounce,” and it adorns the wrapper of every bar. Generally speaking, the recipe for KIND bars adheres to this statement. The recipes largely consist of foods like nuts, dried fruit, honey, sea salt, rice flour and chia seeds.

KIND bars are certainly healthier than traditional junk food options like chips, candy bars, cookies, etc. However, the exact extent of their nutrition largely depends upon which variety you choose.
