The nutrition facts reveal 160 calories per serving, making it a reasonable option for a light snack. It's low in saturated fat (2g) and free of trans fats and cholesterol, contributing to a heart-healthy profile. The sodium content at 190mg is moderate, though slightly elevated, and the carbohydrates provide 19g with 1.99g of fiber, supporting digestive health. With only 1g of sugars, it's a better choice than many similar products, and the protein content at 7g adds to its filling quality.
Given the ingredients like smokehouse hickory smoked almonds (processed) and added chemicals such as citric acid and vegetable oil, this product is more processed, likely containing artificial colors and preservatives. While it offers some nutritional benefits, the sodium and potential additives make it less than ideal for a health-conscious diet.
For a healthier alternative, consider homemade roasted chickpeas or trail mix made with natural ingredients like nuts and seeds, avoiding added sugars and processed oils.
