Cashew Crunch Skin Check

The ingredient list is reassuringly short: coconut, cashews, coconut sugar, cassava flour, sea salt. With 27g of sugar per 100g, the sweetness is present but not overwhelming, and the 7.3 score suggests a decent overall profile. The texture likely offers a crisp snap from the coconut and a softer chew from the cashew. For a desk drawer at the office, this could be a simple, non-messy snack that doesn't require refrigeration. However, the coconut sugar is still added sugar, so it may not suit those strictly limiting their intake. Some people might also find the coconut flakes a bit fibrous.

This version introduces cocoa powder, which may appeal if you're craving a chocolate note. The sugar content is higher at 34g per 100g, and the score is 6.6, indicating a less balanced profile. The ingredients still center on coconut and cashew, but the added cocoa and higher sugar could make it feel more like a treat. I can see this being useful in a gym bag for a quick, energy-dense pick-me-up after a workout. The trade-off is clear: the increased sugar content. For skin concerns, high sugar intake can sometimes be a factor, so this is one to enjoy in moderation.

With only 20g of sugar and a strong 8.0 score, this option looks well-balanced. The ingredients are straightforward, with the addition of natural vanilla and almond flavors for complexity. The texture should be a pleasant mix of crisp coconut and creamy cashew, without being overly sweet. This would be a solid choice for a late-night snack when you want something satisfying but not a sugar rush before bed. The only real trade-off is the inclusion of natural flavors; while generally safe, some people prefer to avoid them. It's a minor point in an otherwise clean profile.

This appears identical to the previous product on sugar (20g) and score (8.0), with the same core ingredients and flavorings. The experience would likely be very similar: a crisp, not-too-sweet bite with vanilla and almond notes. It could be a great addition to a kid's lunchbox as a treat that feels special without being a candy bar. The main consideration is the nut content (cashew, coconut), which is a common allergen and requires caution in shared environments. Beyond that, it's a solid, clean option for those who enjoy that specific flavor profile.

The name says it all: Sea Salt Caramel. It uses the same sugar level (27g) and score (7.3) as the first product, but the flavor profile is designed to evoke caramel through the interplay of coconut sugar and sea salt. It's a classic combination that can be very satisfying. I can imagine packing this in a bag for a long drive; the salt might help with hydration balance and the sweetness provides a quick energy source. The trade-off is that 'caramel' flavor can sometimes taste artificial or overly sweet, even with simple ingredients. It depends on how true to name it delivers.
