Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Trail Bar - 7.9 oz
Built from whole almonds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, pecans, and buckwheat instead of protein isolates or fruit purees, this bar carries 7g of protein, 2g of fiber, and 73mg of magnesium (4% DV) straight from the nuts, seeds, and fruit in the ingredient list — not a fortification blend added after the fact.
- Packs for hiking, a desk drawer, or a pre-workout bite without relying on added sugar syrups to hold together
- Sweetened with organic coconut nectar and dates instead of corn syrup or cane sugar as the primary sweetener
- Free of wheat, oats, and other gluten-containing grains, suited to gluten-sensitive eaters who still want a nut-and-seed base
Simple Mills built this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Nut & Seed Trail Bar around whole nuts, seeds, and fruit — almonds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, pecans, buckwheat, and dates — pressed together rather than reconstituted from protein isolates or purees.
Each bar delivers 7g of protein, 2g of fiber, and 73mg of magnesium (4% DV), sourced from the nut, seed, and fruit base itself. Real peanut butter and chocolate chips (cane sugar, unsweetened chocolate, cocoa butter) carry the peanut butter chocolate chip flavor, while organic coconut nectar and dates handle the sweetening — no corn syrup and no sugar alcohols in the mix.
Toss one in a hiking pack, a desk drawer, or a gym bag — it holds up at room temperature with no refrigeration needed, and the almond-and-seed base means it eats closer to trail mix pressed into a bar than a processed snack bar.
Gluten-free by ingredient list (no wheat, oats, or other gluten-containing grains) and kosher-certified, making it a solid pick among gluten-free protein bars. Because it includes peanuts and buckwheat, this bar isn't strict paleo, and its natural sugars from dates and coconut nectar put it outside keto guidelines as well. Contains peanuts and tree nuts. Store in a cool, dry pantry.
Ingredients: Almonds, Organic Coconut Nectar, Peanuts, Chocolate Chips (Cane Sugar, Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa Butter), Peanut Butter, Buckwheat, Pumpkin Seeds, Pecans, Dates, Organic Coconut, Peanut Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, Sea Salt, Raisin Juice Concentrate (For Freshness), Vanilla Extract, and Rosemary Extract (For Freshness).
Common Questions
How does this bar's sugar and ingredient profile compare to a typical processed protein bar?
Most mass-market protein bars lean on isolated soy or whey protein, sugar alcohols like erythritol or maltitol, and corn syrup solids to hit a high protein number cheaply, often landing at 20g of sugar alcohol and 1-2g of fiber. This bar carries 7g of protein and 2g of fiber sourced directly from almonds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, and pecans rather than a protein isolate, and it's sweetened with organic coconut nectar and dates instead of corn syrup or sugar alcohols. The tradeoff is a shorter, whole-food ingredient list at the cost of a lower protein number than isolate-based bars that can claim 15-20g per serving. If you're comparing labels side by side, check the fiber source and whether sweetness comes from whole fruit versus refined syrups, since that's the bigger differentiator here than the protein gram count alone.
Where does the magnesium in this bar come from, and why does it matter?
The 73mg of magnesium (4% DV) comes primarily from the almonds and pumpkin seeds in the base, both of which are naturally dense in magnesium as part of their seed structure rather than added as a fortified mineral. Magnesium functions as a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including ATP synthesis and muscle contraction regulation, which is part of why nuts and seeds are commonly recommended as a whole-food magnesium source. Because it's bound within the almond and pumpkin seed matrix rather than added as magnesium oxide or citrate, absorption follows normal dietary fat and fiber co-digestion rather than the isolated mineral supplement pathway.
Does this bar fit a keto, paleo, or carnivore eating plan?
It does not fit carnivore, since the entire base is plant-derived nuts, seeds, and fruit. For paleo, it's a partial fit: almonds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, pecans, and dates align with paleo principles, but peanuts are technically a legume rather than a tree nut, which strict paleo followers sometimes exclude, and buckwheat is a seed (not a grain, despite the name) that most paleo protocols do accept. For keto, this bar is not ideal as a daily staple because the sweetening comes from coconut nectar and dates, both of which contribute meaningful carbohydrate grams that can push a strict 20g-net-carb daily budget; it fits better as an occasional higher-carb refeed or pre-workout bar than a strict keto snack.
What are some ways to use this bar beyond eating it straight out of the wrapper?
Because the bar is dense with whole almonds, pecans, and pumpkin seeds pressed together with peanut butter and chocolate, it crumbles well as a topping for oatmeal, yogurt bowls, or baked apples in place of a granola crumble. Warming it slightly (10-15 seconds in a microwave) softens the coconut nectar and peanut butter binding, making it easier to break apart by hand if you want to fold pieces into a trail mix or homemade energy ball mixture. It also works chopped into a no-bake pie crust base alongside a bit of melted coconut oil, since the nut-and-date structure behaves similarly to a standard almond-date energy ball recipe.
How can I verify the organic, non-GMO, and kosher claims on this bar?
The organic claim applies specifically to the coconut nectar and coconut oil, which are certified under USDA Organic standards requiring third-party audited supply chains; that certification mark should appear on the packaging with a certifying agent listed. The Non-GMO claim and kosher certification are both administered by independent third-party certifying bodies (such as the Non-GMO Project or a named kosher agency), and you can typically verify current certification status by searching the specific certifying body's public database using the brand name. Because the ingredient list has no corn, soy, or canola derivatives, which are the most common GMO-crop ingredients in packaged snacks, the non-GMO claim here is largely a function of ingredient sourcing rather than a heavily engineered process.
Why does this bar use whole nuts and seeds instead of protein powders or purees like many bars in this category?
Simple Mills builds this bar by pressing whole almonds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, pecans, and dates together rather than starting from a protein isolate or fruit puree base, which is why the texture reads closer to trail mix pressed into bar form than a smooth, cake-like protein bar. This approach means the 7g of protein and 2g of fiber per bar come with the full fat and mineral matrix of the original nut or seed intact, rather than protein and fiber added back in as separate processed ingredients. The visible difference on the ingredient label is length and recognizability: every item is a whole food or a minimally processed extract (like cocoa butter or coconut nectar), with no isolates, gums, or sugar alcohols listed.
