Notes
When looking at the above nutrition facts you may think, this is a high-fat snack. And this is certainly true.
Keep in mind though that fat is not your enemy. And this snack contains natural monounsaturated fats from peanuts, plus medium-chain saturated fats from coconut oil, which research shows improves metabolic health.
