Clean‑label snackers who want steady, gentle energy before a workout or between meetings, prefer real‑food sweetness over sugar alcohols, and love a bright citrus‑coconut flavor.
What's in the Healthy Truth bar?
Meet Healthy Truth’s Lemon Coconut Protein Bar: bright citrus and tropical chew wrapped around a plant‑protein duo of pea and sacha inchi. It clocks 14 grams of protein and 200 calories, with carbs coming from dates and rolled oats, then mellowed by cassava‑root resistant fiber for a steadier rise.
The fat side is a thoughtful mix—cashew, pumpkin seed, and flax for unsaturated balance, plus coconut and a bit of MCT for quick‑burning fuel. Flavor‑wise, shredded coconut and lemon juice powder do the heavy lifting (vanilla rounds it out), and the sweetness leans fruit‑first with a touch of coconut nectar—no sugar alcohols in sight.

Protein
1415MIDThe 14 grams of protein come from a plant blend: pea protein does the heavy lifting, with sacha inchi protein plus sprouted pumpkin seeds and cashews adding backup. Pea brings a high‑quality amino profile for a vegan bar, while sacha inchi helps round the mix without dairy or soy. It lands around the middle of the pack for protein, but the sources are straightforward and easy to recognize.
Fat
99MIDNine grams of fat come primarily from sprouted cashews, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, and coconut, with a splash of MCT oil from coconut. That means a mix of heart‑friendly unsaturated fats (from the nuts and seeds, including some ALA omega‑3 from flax) plus a moderate dose of saturated tropical fats from coconut/MCT that digest quickly. The balance supports satiety without feeling heavy.
Carbs
2120MIDThose 21 grams of carbs are mostly clean and purposeful: dates act as a sticky, fiber‑bearing fruit binder; rolled oats contribute whole‑grain starch and soluble fiber; and cassava root fiber (a resistant dextrin from tapioca) adds bulk with little glycemic punch. A drizzle of coconut nectar (concentrated coconut‑blossom sap) sweetens the bar, so the energy skews steadier than candy thanks to the oats, fiber, protein, and nuts.
Sugar
74MIDThere are 7 grams of sugar, almost entirely from whole dates and coconut nectar—no artificial sweeteners and no sugar alcohols. While coconut nectar is still sugar, pairing it with fruit fiber, cassava resistant fiber, and fats from nuts and seeds helps temper spikes compared with using refined table sugar alone. If you track added sugar closely, this lands in the moderate range for a bar.
Calories
200210MIDAt 200 calories, it’s a little lighter than many protein bars and splits its energy fairly evenly among carbs, fat, and protein. The calories you feel most are the fruit‑and‑oat carbs for ready fuel, plus quick‑burning MCTs and slower‑digesting nut and seed fats for staying power. In practice, it eats like a snack‑sized boost rather than a meal replacement.
Vitamins & Minerals
There aren’t any standout vitamins or minerals above 10% of daily value, since the bar isn’t fortified. You still pick up small amounts of potassium (from dates), iron and magnesium (from pumpkin seeds, oats, and cashews), and a touch of plant antioxidants from lemon, flax, and coconut.
Additives
The ingredient list leans whole‑food with a few refined helpers. Cassava root fiber is an isolated soluble fiber used for bulk and a gentler glycemic profile; pea and sacha inchi proteins are concentrated from their plants to raise protein; and MCT oil is a refined coconut fat for quick energy. Otherwise it’s nuts, seeds, oats, fruit, coconut, lemon, and vanilla—no gums, emulsifiers, or artificial sweeteners.

Main Praise
Three positives stand out. First, the ingredient integrity: a short list grounded in recognizable plants, with no artificial sweeteners and no sugar alcohols—welcome news for anyone who gets GI pushback from polyols.
Second, the fat and fiber mix is thoughtful: cashew, pumpkin seed, and flax bring mostly unsaturated fats (plus a touch of ALA) while coconut/MCT offers quick energy, so you’re satisfied without feeling weighed down.
Third, the flavor lane is refreshingly different; lemon‑coconut isn’t the usual chocolate‑peanut‑butter routine, and the sweetness leans fruit‑forward rather than syrupy. Local TV features have spotlighted the brand’s sprouted, athlete‑friendly approach, which tracks with the bar’s simple, raw‑leaning build.
Net result: a clean, bright snack that tends to sit well and taste like real food.
Main Criticism
Know the trade‑offs. With 14g of protein, it’s a solid snack but not a 20g‑plus heavy hitter for maxed‑out recovery.
The 7g of sugar—mostly from dates and coconut nectar—is moderate but not a low‑ or no‑sugar play, and oats plus dates push total carbs to 21g, so it’s not keto. It isn’t fortified, so if you want a meal‑replacement nutrient panel, this won’t check that box.
It contains cashews and coconut, ruling it out for nut‑free diets. And given the dates, oats, and shredded coconut, expect a chewy, slightly dense texture—great for some, not for everyone.
The Middle Ground
Put the praise and the caveats together and you get a clear picture: this bar aims to be real‑food fuel, not a protein‑isolate brick dressed up like dessert. If erythritol and mystery syrups haven’t treated your stomach kindly, the absence of sugar alcohols here is a meaningful advantage.
On the flip side, if your plan is a single bar to deliver 25g or more of protein with nearly no carbs, you’ll be happier elsewhere. The carbs you do get arrive with context—oats, dates, and resistant cassava fiber—which can feel steadier than refined sugar for many, though individual responses vary.
Sprouted nuts and seeds may help digestibility and texture for some people, but they don’t change the macro math; they change how the bar feels. Flavor‑wise, lemon‑coconut is a confident choice: not for brownie purists, but spot‑on if you want something bright, clean, and a little sunny.
What's the bottom line?
Healthy Truth’s Lemon Coconut Protein Bar is a thoughtfully built, lemon‑bright, vegan snack: 14g of protein, 200 calories, and an ingredient list that reads like a pantry, not a lab. It shines for anyone who wants steady energy without sugar alcohols and appreciates sprouted nuts and seeds. If you need a meal‑in‑a‑wrapper or a bigger protein hit, pair it with a shake and call it a combo.
“something fresh, not fudge” moment. Condensed listicle version: A bright, lemon‑coconut vegan bar with 14g plant protein, sprouted nuts and seeds, and no sugar alcohols. Fruit‑first sweetness (7g sugar), 200 calories, and a chewy, real‑food bite—better as a clean snack than a meal replacement; not for keto or nut‑free diets.
