Love Good Fats
Mint Chocolate Chip
TL:DR
In 2 Sentences
A mint‑chip bar that eats like candy yet keeps sugar low—2 grams—by leaning on fats, fiber, and a pea‑plus‑whey protein blend. It’s a keto‑style, dessert‑leaning take that’s unusual among high‑fat bars.
When to choose Love Good Fats Mint Chocolate Chip
Great as a low‑sugar after‑dinner sweet or a mid‑afternoon tide‑you‑over for low‑carb days. Less ideal if you want 20+ grams of protein or avoid sugar alcohols and chicory‑root fiber.
What's in the Love Good Fats bar?
Love Good Fats’ Mint Chocolate Chip leans dessert-y—real cocoa powder, a chocolatey coating, and semi‑sweet chips—then keeps sugar low by sweetening mostly with erythritol, stevia, and chicory‑root fibers.
The protein comes from a hybrid blend: pea protein paired with whey protein isolate (plus a bit of brown rice protein in the coating), so you get solid amino‑acid coverage with little lactose—but it’s a modest 9 grams overall, more of a snack than a meal replacement.
It’s a higher‑fat, lower‑sugar bar by design, with richness built from sunflower‑seed butter, palm and coconut fats, and cocoa butter, while the minty lift comes from natural flavor rather than sugary syrups.

Protein
915LOWProtein here is a blend: pea protein teams up with whey protein isolate, with a little brown rice protein tucked into the chocolate coating. Whey isolate is a clean, low‑lactose, complete dairy protein; pea and rice help round out the amino‑acid mix on the plant side. At 9 grams, it’s a lighter protein hit—good for a satisfying snack, less of a heavy post‑workout dose.
Fat
139HIGHMost of the 13 grams of fat come from a fats blend (sunflower seed butter, palm stearin, coconut oil) and the chocolate elements (cocoa butter; refined palm/palm‑kernel fats in the coating). That’s a mix of unsaturated fat from seeds with a notable dose of saturated fat from tropical oils, which gives the bar its creamy bite and shelf‑stable snap. If you prioritize more unsaturated oils day‑to‑day, note the reliance on palm and coconut here.
Carbs
1320LOWCarbs are built from rice flours (white and brown) plus chicory‑root fibers (inulin and oligofructose), with glycerin and erythritol providing sweetness and softness. This leans more ‘engineered low‑glycemic’ than grain‑forward: less sugar and more fiber/sugar‑alcohols, so it’s less likely to spike blood sugar than a syrupy bar. Sensitive stomachs may notice the prebiotic fibers if eaten quickly or alongside other high‑fiber products.
Sugar
24MIDSugar is kept to 2 grams, mostly from the semi‑sweet chocolate chips (cane sugar). Sweetness otherwise comes from erythritol (a zero‑calorie sugar alcohol), stevia (a high‑intensity sweetener), glycerin (a plant‑derived syrup that keeps bars soft), and fiber from chicory root. The trade‑off for low sugar is more processed sweeteners—generally gentle on blood sugar, though sugar alcohols and prebiotic fibers can bother sensitive guts in larger amounts.
Calories
190210MIDAt 190 calories, this is a fat‑first snack: the fats blend and chocolate coating do most of the caloric heavy lifting, with smaller contributions from protein and carbohydrate. That fat emphasis is what makes the bar feel rich and satisfying despite the modest protein. If you’re planning around workouts, think “treat‑like fuel” rather than a full protein replacement.
Vitamins & Minerals
Iron clears 10% DV (about 11%), likely thanks to cocoa solids and the plant proteins (pea, rice). You’ll get a small mineral bump, but this isn’t a fortified multivitamin bar. If iron matters to you, the chocolate components are the quiet contributors.
Additives
Expect a modern ‘keto‑style’ toolkit: chicory‑root fibers (inulin/oligofructose) for prebiotic fiber and body, erythritol and stevia for sweetness with few calories, glycerin to keep the bar soft, and sunflower lecithin to keep the chocolate coating smooth. The coating also uses refined palm fractions to set firmly at room temperature. These are purposeful but fairly refined ingredients; great for texture and low sugar, with the usual caveat that some people feel GI rumblings from inulin/FOS or sugar alcohols.

Range
“The good fats bars are where it's at, they have legitimate ingredients and are delicious. 3-5 grams of carbs each. I eat 2 everyday to satisfy my craving. Plus they make you feel satiated.”
“Boyfriend loves the 'love good fat' and quest bars. The 'love good fat' are the only ones I like.”
“Try a "love good fats" bar. Same thing as a kind bar minus the honey. Its only 4 net carbs and basically nuts and chocolate.”
Main Praise
Fans reach for Love Good Fats when a sweet craving hits but they don’t want a syrupy sugar spike. Many describe the bars as candy‑bar‑adjacent—rich, chocolatey, and surprisingly satiating for just 190 calories—thanks to the fat‑first build.
The mint flavor reads clean rather than toothpastey, and the bits of chocolate help it feel like a real treat. Several reviewers say one bar is enough to take the edge off hunger and keep energy steady between meals.
The hybrid protein (pea plus whey isolate) is a nice touch for broader amino‑acid coverage with minimal lactose.
Main Criticism
Texture divides the room. A chunk of people—Redditors and independent reviewers alike—call some flavors chalky or a bit dry, especially if eaten cold.
Others find the sweetness a tad assertive or notice a lingering stevia note. The formula leans on chicory‑root fibers and sugar alcohols to keep sugar low, which can mean digestive grumbles for sensitive folks.
And while the bar is pitched for keto, some critics argue that certain Love Good Fats varieties have a carb profile that’s more “keto‑style” than strict keto. Finally, at 9 grams of protein, it won’t replace a shake after heavy lifting.
The Middle Ground
So who’s right—the “candy‑bar miracle” crowd or the “chalky and not very keto” camp? Both, depending on what you’re hoping for.
If you want a low‑sugar mint‑chocolate fix that actually satisfies, this checks a lot of boxes: real cocoa, a cooling mint profile, fats that make it feel substantial, and a reasonable 190 calories.
If you prioritize a moist, nougat‑y bite, you might agree with the Costcuisine take that some bars read dry—letting it warm to room temp or pairing it with coffee helps.
Keto purists will find debate online: Keto Picks argues these bars can be “barely keto,” while Dr Workout says they’re keto‑friendly; the nuance is that net carbs depend on fibers and sugar alcohols, and individual responses vary.
GI‑sensitive? Start with half a bar—chicory‑root fiber (a prebiotic) and erythritol are fine for many but not for everyone.
Ingredient‑conscious readers should also note the reliance on palm and coconut fats; great for creaminess, less exciting if you’re chasing mostly unsaturated oils.
What's the bottom line?
Love Good Fats Mint Chocolate Chip is a dessert‑leaning, fat‑first snack that plays the role of “mint‑chip candy bar” without the sugar bomb. You get 9 grams of protein, 2 grams of sugar, and a cool chocolate‑mint bite that genuinely curbs cravings—more afternoon treat than gym recovery tool. If you enjoy low‑sugar bars and don’t mind modern sweeteners (erythritol, stevia) and chicory‑root fiber, it’s an easy win for low‑carb days.
If you’re sensitive to those ingredients, need 20+ grams of protein, or want only unsaturated fats, you’ll likely be happier elsewhere. For everyone in the middle, this is a smart way to get a mint‑chocolate moment that feels indulgent and still fits a thoughtful routine.
