My golden rules for packaged snacks, protein bars, and protein — what I NEVER want to see on the ingredient list: 1. No seed oils 2. No food dyes 3. No “natural flavors” (A vague, lab-derived catch-all) 4. No maltodextrin 5. No citric acid (Often mold-fermented from corn, not citrus) 6. No gums or thickeners 7. No added sugars from artificial or highly processed sources 8. No artificial sweeteners 9. No yeast extract or hidden flavor enhancers 10. No chemical preservatives (BHA, BHT, TBHQ) Not about perfection — just ingredients that make sense and support how I want to feel.
