Kind Fruit & Nut Delight Bar: Protein, Calories & Labelgrade

Labelgrade: B 77 / 100 — Genuinely whole-food snack bar with the lowest sodium load and one of the highest fiber scores we've graded. Loses ground on protein density (15 g per 100 g — about half of RXBAR or a Greek yogurt) and on sugar load (added glucose and honey alongside the dried fruit). This is correctly a snack bar, not a protein bar — judged as a snack, it's well-formulated.

The short answer

Kind Fruit & Nut Delight Bar delivers 6 g of protein and 200 calories per 40 g bar (USDA FDC 2081642) — about the protein in a single large egg. This is correctly a snack bar, not a protein bar; Kind doesn’t market it with a protein claim. The Labelgrade is B (77 / 100): whole-food ingredient list led by mixed nuts and dried fruit, extremely low sodium, solid fiber, and the trade-off of fairly low protein density and honey/glucose adding to natural-fruit sugars.

Why this Labelgrade

DimensionGradeScoreWhy
Protein densityB-73 / 10015 g of protein per 100 g — about half of RXBAR (21 g) or a Greek yogurt (16–18 g). Reasonable for nut-and-fruit, low for the bar category overall
Ingredient qualityB76 / 10014 ingredients, all recognizable — no whey isolate, no sugar alcohols, no artificial colors. The two ingredients we’d flag are non-GMO glucose (a sweetener syrup) and soy lecithin (a binder). Lower in additives than mainstream protein bars
Sugar loadC+65 / 1009 g sugars per bar (22.5 g per 100 g). Date and dried-fruit sugars are forgivable, but the added honey and glucose push the score down. Lower than a Snickers, higher than a plain yogurt
Sodium loadA+100 / 10010 mg per bar — effectively zero. Among the lowest sodium loads in our entire database
FiberB+80 / 1003 g per bar (7.5 g per 100 g), driven by chicory root fiber + nuts + dried fruit. Good for a sweet snack
OverallB77 / 100A well-formulated whole-food snack bar. If you want protein density, pick a different category. If you want a clean snack between meals, this is one of the cleaner options on the shelf

How it compares

ProductProtein per barProtein per 100 gSugar per barSodium per bar
Kind Fruit & Nut Delight (this product)6 g15 g9 g10 mg

If protein-per-bar is the goal, Premier Protein triples Kind’s number. If clean ingredients matter more than protein density, Kind and RXBAR are the two strongest options in the snack-bar aisle — Kind for the lower sodium and longer macro profile, RXBAR for the shorter ingredient list.

Whole-food equivalent

One Kind Fruit & Nut Delight bar (6 g protein) is roughly equivalent to one large egg (6 g protein) or a heaping tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt (about 33 g of Fage Total 0%). For the 200 calories the bar costs, two eggs would deliver double the protein at roughly the same calorie count.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much protein is in a Kind Fruit & Nut Delight bar?

6 grams of protein per 40 g bar (USDA FDC 2081642). That's roughly the protein in a single large egg. Kind markets this line as a snack bar, not a protein bar — for comparison, an RXBAR delivers 7–12 g in a similar form factor, and a Greek yogurt cup delivers 15–20 g.

What's in a Kind Fruit & Nut Delight bar?

Mixed nuts (peanuts, almonds, brazil nuts, walnuts), honey, dried fruit (sultanas, dates, raisins), non-GMO glucose, crisp rice, apricots, apple juice, vegetable glycerine, flax seeds, soy lecithin, chicory root fiber, citrus pectin, and natural apricot flavor.

How many calories per bar?

200 calories per 40 g bar — calorie-dense for the protein it delivers (33 calories per gram of protein). Most of the calories come from nuts (fat) and dried fruit/honey/glucose (sugar).

Is the sugar added or natural?

Both. The 9 g of sugars per bar include naturally-occurring sugars from the dried fruit (sultanas, dates, raisins, apricots, apple juice) and added sugars from honey and non-GMO glucose. Kind doesn't break out the added-sugar number in this USDA entry.

Does Kind Fruit & Nut Delight count as 'high in protein' under FDA rules?

No. 6 g per serving is 12% of the 50 g Daily Value — below the 20% threshold required for the 'high in protein' claim, though above the 10% needed for 'good source of protein.' Kind doesn't market this bar with a protein claim.

Is it gluten-free?

Kind labels most of their Fruit & Nut line as gluten-free. The USDA ingredient list doesn't include wheat, barley, or rye. Always check the actual package — formulations and shared-equipment statements can change.

How does it compare to an RXBAR?

RXBAR has a denser protein profile (about 21 g per 100 g vs Kind's 15 g) and a shorter ingredient list (5 vs 14). Kind has lower sodium (10 mg vs 65 mg), higher fiber per 100 g, and no isolated ingredients. They're optimized for different things: RXBAR for protein-per-bite, Kind for whole-food snack.
