This is a really great product and the brand is also impressive for its commitment to healthy ingredients (at least for the products I have bought and reviewed). This low-calorie snack is nutrient dense, with 3g of fiber and 6g of protein and a dose of very healthy fats. You really can't go wrong here. I highly recommend this!

It's also high in vitamin E (linked to lower risks of cancer and heart disease, healthy immune system) and magnesium (for bone health, linked to lower blood pressure, prevention of diabetes).
