What are Net Carbs? How do you figure them out on your facts panel? We make it easier for you to calculate the net carbs in our bars. Our nutrition facts panel identify the breakdown of total carbs including dietary fiber, sugars, sugar alcohols and other carbs.

Examples of the non-effective ingredients include: sugar alcohol (maltitol), glycerin (carbs), and fiber. Back to Top

Can maltitol result in gastrointestinal issues or discomfort? Popular sugar alcohol sweeteners include maltitol. Maltitol sweeteners are made through a fermentation process of corn or sugar cane. They contain fewer calories than sweeteners like pure sugar and honey. Sensitivity to maltitol is individual. Back to Top

What is glycerin and what is it derived from? The glycerin we use is derived from plant sources. It is used as a humectant (an ingredient used to preserve the moisture content of the bar) and helps to maintain a soft texture in the core of the bars. Back to Top

Why do some of your bars contain palm kernel oil? Only our thinkThin® bars coated in dark chocolate contain palm kernel oil. Our thinkThin® Protein bars are sugar free, and there are currently no sugar free dark chocolate coatings without palm kernel oil available. Palm kernel oil allows for a delicious, chocolatey coating that remains solid at room temperature. Back to Top
