KIND

KIND is a Mars-owned snack-bar brand founded in 2004 that built its reputation on visible whole nuts bound with chicory root fiber and honey. Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt and the Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate variants tend to score near the top of the branded snack category thanks to meaningful protein, fiber, and NOVA 3 rather than 4 classifications. Protein Crunchy and Breakfast Bar lines use more isolates and glycerin, which softens the score. Our per-SKU pages break down when KIND is a genuinely cleaner pick versus when it's closer to a regular granola bar.
