Final Verdict
An unexpectedly wholesome snack made with just a few ingredients. While unsalted roasted peanuts are still the healthier pick, Trader Joe’s Bamba delivers crunchy, peanutty satisfaction with no added sugar—making it a smarter choice than most salty snacks. With a mix of carbs, healthy fats, and a bit of protein, it works well as a light pick-me-up or pre-workout bite. Stick to around 100 calories (two-thirds of a serving) if you’re smaller or less active, or enjoy the full serving for a bit more fuel.
