Our take

CleanPlate review

Protein wafer, with a lower fat figure than its sibling.

Yoga Bar Cookies & Cream is a protein wafer made from fermented yeast protein and milk solids, sweetened with maltitol, with coconut oil and hydrogenated coconut fat.

CleanPlate scores it [R][L]BD3. The B for nutrition reflects 25 g of protein and 8 g of fibre. The D for ingredients carries a red flag for hydrogenated coconut fat that the label doesn't confirm as fully hydrogenated, and a misleading-label flag for "cream" with no cream. The 3 for risk comes from energy and sodium.

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • Product name

    “Cookies & Cream”

    Misleading

    No cream is listed; the taste comes from nature-identical flavours.

  • Product name

    “10g Protein”

    Holds

    25 g per 100 g, 22% of calories, so about 10 g in a 40 g bar.

solid protein (25g) and zero added sugar, but high total fat (25.5g/100g) and high saturated/lauric fat (~7.25g/100g) reduce nutrient score

Scored on eight nutrients (protein, fibre, calcium, iron, vitamins A, C, D and zinc), per 100 g and per 100 kcal.

moderate-high risk from high energy density (462kcal) and fat share, offset by low sugar

Scored on added sugar, sodium and saturated fat, with a penalty for trans fat.

[R] Contains an ingredient on our red-flag list (such as a partially hydrogenated oil or a flagged synthetic dye), which cuts the ingredient grade.

[L] The name or pack claims promise more than the ingredient list delivers. See Claims vs reality.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

The list is a protein blend (fermented yeast protein, milk solids), maltitol, a multigrain blend (whole wheat, jowar), coconut oil, hydrogenated coconut fat, starch, lecithin, flavouring, natural colour, salt and enzyme. Trans fat is declared as 0 g.

Per 100 g: 462 kcal, 25 g protein, 8 g fibre, 25 g polyols, 0 g added sugar, 25.5 g fat (7.25 g saturated) and 450 mg sodium.

Ingredients to watch

  • Hydrogenated fat (type not stated)Concern

    The label doesn't say whether this fat is fully or partially hydrogenated. Partial hydrogenation creates trans fat, and a 0 g trans fat line can still hide small amounts, so we treat it as partially hydrogenated until the maker confirms otherwise.

  • MaltitolWorth watching

    25 g per 100 g.

  • SodiumWorth watching

    450 mg per 100 g, high for a sweet bar.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Cookies & cream contains cookies"

The flavour comes from flavouring.

Myth: "Two flavours of one bar are nutritionally identical"

Their declared saturated fat differs sharply.
