The Othr. Coffee Energy Bar
Published
The Othr. Coffee Energy Bar is a cereal bar of chocolate chips, oats, flakes and peanuts, sold as an energy snack with a kick of coffee. It scores [L]CB3: middling on nutrition, solid on ingredients but marked down because the coffee is a small, late-listed part beside a coffee flavour, and moderate on risk. Best as an occasional snack, not a coffee source.

What to know about The Othr. Coffee Energy Bar
A coffee bar where coffee comes late in the list
The Othr. Coffee Energy Bar is a 70 g cereal bar built from chocolate chips, oats, wheat flakes, rice crisps, corn flakes, ragi flour and peanuts, with dark chocolate, milk powder, oligo fructose, coffee powder, green coffee powder, salt, sunflower oil and coffee flavour. It is aimed at people who want a work, gym or travel snack with a caffeine-style hook. No ingredient percentages are declared.
One bar gives about 301 kcal, 5.6 g protein and 6.2 g fibre. Per 100 g that is 429.7 kcal, 8 g protein, 8.8 g fibre, 15.6 g fat and 4.8 g saturated fat. Total sugar is 20.2 g per 100 g, of which 3 g is declared as added sugar. Trans fat is 0 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed.
The pack promises a kick of coffee, but the coffee powders come near the end of the list and a coffee flavour is added on top. That is what sets the [L] flag. The protein, fibre and trans-fat claims are fine. CleanPlate scores it [L]CB3.
Does The Othr. Coffee Energy Bar live up to its claims?
The protein, fibre, trans-fat and preservative claims hold. The coffee promise does not: coffee powder is listed eleventh, after a coffee flavour is added, and the front figures are per bar, not per 100 g.
- On the packMisleading
“Kick of Coffee”
Coffee powder and green coffee powder come near the end of the list, after oligo fructose, and a coffee flavour is added as well. Real coffee is not in the top three ingredients.
- On the packBe careful
“Energy 301 kcal, Protein 6g, Fiber 6g”
These are per-bar figures for a 70 g bar. Per 100 g the panel shows 429.7 kcal, 8 g protein and 8.8 g fibre.
- On the packHolds
“Source of protein”
8 g protein per 100 g, so 5.6 g in one 70 g bar, from oats, peanuts, milk powder and cocoa.

Why The Othr. Coffee Energy Bar scores [L]CB3
Nutrition is a C on 8 g protein and 8.8 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are a B, held back by the coffee label promise and an unspecified flavouring. Risk is a 3, driven by 4.8 g saturated fat and 430 kcal per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 8 g
- Fibre
- 8.8 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 430 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 8 g per 100 g and fibre is 8.8 g, which in one 70 g bar is 5.6 g protein and 6.2 g fibre. Energy is 429.7 kcal per 100 g, so the bar is dense in calories for what it delivers.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone.
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.

- Additives

- Flagged
- None
02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is mostly whole-grain and cereal based: oats, wheat flakes, rice crisps, corn flakes and ragi flour, with peanuts for protein. Chocolate chips lead it, and no percentages are declared, which costs a small label point.
The flavouring has no class stated and is not marked natural-only, so it costs ingredient points. A coffee flavour is listed while the real coffee is not in the top three ingredients, and that costs further ingredient points and sets the [L] flag.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 3 g
- Sodium
- 97.6 mg
- Saturated fat
- 4.8 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Saturated fat is 4.8 g per 100 g, just under the 5 g high line, and energy at 429.7 kcal per 100 g is the other large part of the risk number. Together they put risk at a 3.
Sodium is 97.6 mg per 100 g and added sugar is 3 g, so both add little. Trans fat is 0 g. The sugar in the risk number is the declared added sugar, not the 20.2 g total sugar.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in The Othr. Coffee Energy Bar?
Chocolate chips, oats and cereal flakes lead the list. Coffee comes late, and the flavouring's type is not stated, so those are the two things to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Chocolate chips lead, followed by oats, wheat flakes, rice crisps, corn flakes and ragi flour, so the bar is a pressed mix of cereals and chocolate. Peanuts, dark chocolate and milk powder add protein and richness, and oligo fructose helps bind and sweeten. Coffee powder and green coffee powder come late, followed by salt, sunflower oil and coffee flavour.
No percentages are declared for any ingredient. The pack lists oats (gluten), milk, peanuts and wheat as allergens, and may contain traces of tree nuts and soy.
