What to know about BRB Shortcuts Protein Wafer Bites Classic Peanut Butter

Peanut butter wafer bites: real protein, dense calories

BRB Shortcuts Protein Wafer Bites Classic Peanut Butter are small wafer bites filled with peanut butter, 24 to a pack. The list leads with peanut butter (54.5%), then wheat flour (atta), jaggery, milk solids, refined coconut oil, soy lecithin, salt, baking soda, milk protein concentrate and butter and vanilla flavouring. They are aimed at people who want a crunchy, filling snack with some protein and without maida or white sugar.

A 25 g serve, about six bites, gives 134.4 kcal, 3.8 g protein, 1.7 g fibre, 3.5 g added sugar and 2 g saturated fat. Per 100 g that is 537.6 kcal, 15.2 g protein, 6.8 g fibre, 14 g added sugar, 31.2 g fat and 226.8 mg sodium. The cost of the peanut butter filling is calories and fat.

The pack gets several things right: the peanut butter share is declared at 54.5%, the flour is atta, and no maida is listed. Zero refined sugar is true in a narrow sense, since the sweetener is jaggery, but the bites still carry 14 g added sugar per 100 g. CleanPlate scores it CB4.

Why BRB Shortcuts Protein Wafer Bites Classic Peanut Butter scores CB4

Nutrition is a C on 15.2 g protein and 6.8 g fibre against 537.6 kcal per 100 g. Ingredients are a B, with soy lecithin the only additive. Risk is a 4, driven by 8 g saturated fat and the calories.

Energy
538 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why C

Protein is 15.2 g per 100 g and fibre is 6.8 g, so a 25 g serve gives 3.8 g protein and 1.7 g fibre. Most of the protein comes from peanut butter, with some from milk solids and milk protein concentrate.

Energy is high at 537.6 kcal per 100 g, from 31.2 g fat and 48.8 g carbohydrate. No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

The list is short and mostly recognisable. Peanut butter at 54.5% leads, followed by atta, jaggery and milk solids. No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the 0 g trans fat is accepted.

Soy lecithin (322) is the only additive and costs a small number of ingredient points. The label promises are not hollow, so there is no label integrity penalty.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4

Saturated fat is the largest driver: 8 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line, from peanut butter and refined coconut oil. Energy at 537.6 kcal per 100 g is close behind.

Free sugar of 14 g per 100 g, all from jaggery, adds to it, and sodium at 226.8 mg per 100 g adds a little. Trans fat is 0 g and plays no part. In one 25 g serve, saturated fat is 2 g and added sugar 3.5 g.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Red flags

  • Red flag: High added sugar (14g per 100g)
  • Red flag: High saturated fat (8g)

Green flags

  • Green flag: High fibre (6.8g)

Does BRB Shortcuts Protein Wafer Bites Classic Peanut Butter live up to its claims?

No maida and 54% peanut butter both hold. The zero refined sugar claim is true only because the sweetener is jaggery, and the 16 g protein figure is slightly above the 15.2 g per 100 g on the pack panel.

  • On the pack

    “16G Protein”

    Be careful

    The pack panel gives 3.8 g per 25 g serve, which is 15.2 g per 100 g. The retailer page shows 16 g per 100 g, so the front figure is rounded up.

  • On the pack

    “No Maida”

    Holds

    The flour listed is wheat flour (atta), and no maida appears in the ingredients.

  • On the pack

    “Zero Refined Sugar”

    Be careful

    The sweetener is jaggery, but added sugar is still 14 g per 100 g, or 3.5 g in a 25 g serve. Jaggery counts as free sugar in the risk grade.

  • On the pack

    “54% Peanut Butter”

    Holds

    The ingredient list declares peanut butter at 54.5%, and it is the first ingredient.

What's in BRB Shortcuts Protein Wafer Bites Classic Peanut Butter?

Peanut butter, atta and jaggery lead a short list. Watch the saturated fat from peanut butter and coconut oil, and the 14 g added sugar per 100 g.

The ingredient list, read for you

Peanut butter at 54.5% leads, so the filling is the main ingredient, followed by wheat flour (atta) for the wafer and jaggery for sweetness. Milk solids, refined coconut oil and milk protein concentrate add richness and protein, and soy lecithin holds the filling together. Salt, baking soda and butter and vanilla flavouring finish the list.
