Simply Balanced Cookie Bites Trail Mix is a snack mix designed for convenient, on-the-go nutrition, featuring a blend of whole grains, fruits, seeds, and baked goods. The product provides 89.9 calories per serving, with a notable source of carbohydrates, fiber, calcium, and iron, though it also contains added sugars that contribute to its sweetness.
The product appears to be processed, as it incorporates refined ingredients like enriched bleached wheat flour, which lacks the wholeness of whole wheat flour, and includes artificial additives such as coloring agents (likely from sunflower oil) and leavening chemicals like sodium bicarbonate and monocalcium phosphate. These features suggest a higher degree of processing compared to minimally processed foods.
Given that the product contains added sugars, it may not be the healthiest option for those seeking low-sugar or sugar-free alternatives. A healthier trail mix could be made at home using ingredients like dates, nuts, seeds, and unsweetened dried fruits for a more nutrient-dense and naturally flavored snack.
