Dont Trust The Keto Label

The RKT mini donuts deliver a distinct crunch that cuts through a sugary, airy dough. With 35g of sugar per 100g, they are undeniably a treat, not a health food. The ingredient list is still updating, which gives me pause, but the score of 6.5 suggests a balanced, if not virtuous, profile. I can see grabbing one of these from the office snack drawer when that 3 PM slump hits and you need a quick hit of energy. They're light enough that you don't feel weighed down immediately. The trade-off is clear: you're paying for a sugar rush and a satisfying crunch, not nutritional density. It's a calculated indulgence.

These roasted salted peanuts are the definition of a pantry staple. With only 3g of sugar per 100g and a stellar 9.7 score, the label speaks for itself: simplicity works. The ingredients are updating, but the core product is a classic for a reason. The salt level is just enough to make the nutty flavor pop without being overwhelming. I keep a stash in my gym bag for post-workout refueling; the protein and healthy fats provide lasting satiety that a sugary bar can't match. The only real trade-off is the potential for a one-note texture if you're not a fan of a standard roasted nut. It's not fancy, but it's reliable and nutrient-dense.

This Chewy Granola Bar offers a complex texture from the almonds, raisins, peanuts, and cranberries. At 20g of sugar per 100g, it's sweeter than the nuts but less of a sugar bomb than the donuts. The ingredient list is a bit of a chemistry set with corn syrup, sugar, and Ca Fructose, which explains the 8.0 score—it's effective fuel, but not exactly clean. The chewiness is satisfying, making it a solid choice for a long car ride where you need something that won't crumble. The trade-off is the syrupy binder that holds it all together; it can leave a slightly sticky film on your fingers. It's a functional, tasty bar, but purists may balk at the sweeteners.

These dry roasted peanuts with sea salt and spices are a flavor upgrade. The 7g sugar per 100g is minimal, and the 9.3 score reflects the thoughtful seasoning blend of celery, onion, garlic, and paprika. It's a savory, umami-forward snack that feels more substantial than a plain nut. The inclusion of gelatin and torula yeast is a specific choice that adds to the savory profile, though it might be a con for some dietary preferences. I found them perfect for late-night gaming sessions when you want a salty crunch that keeps you alert without a sugar crash. The trade-off is that the strong spice blend might not appeal to kids or those who prefer a pure peanut taste.

The Classic peanuts are a straightforward, high-quality option. With 3g of sugar per 100g and a 9.7 score, they are nutritionally identical to the other pure peanut option here, but the inclusion of peanut oil adds a distinct richness. The ingredients are simple: peanuts, peanut oil, sea salt. This is a clean label. The texture is robust and the oil helps the salt adhere perfectly. They are my go-to for a simple, satisfying handful. The trade-off is the price point; using peanut oil instead of just dry roasting can make them slightly pricier per ounce than other options. It's a small premium for a noticeably richer mouthfeel.
