If you’re at all familiar with Stack3d, you’ll know that we’re big fans of functional foods, which is evident by our dedicated rankings of the best protein bars in the world, as well as more moderate protein snacks. Functional items are a great way to get additional benefits and nutrition into your day, whether it’s a low-sugar gummy candy, high-protein chips, or calorie-free sauce. With that said, it’s no surprise when the likes of Hummii Snacks comes across our desk we have to put the spotlight on it.
Hummii Snacks is a functional innovator that makes one product at the moment called Points Candies, and the twist is that, unlike your traditional rainbow-colored treats, they’re not loaded with sugar, carbohydrates, and calories. Hummii’s innovation comes in 1oz bags filled with colorful shell candies, similar to the iconic M&M’s, and there are three different fillings to choose from. Points is available in White Chocolate, decadent Dark Chocolate, and Peanut Chocolate with peanuts under the coating.
The macros are in the same sort of ballpark and have the same sort of balance regardless of which variety of Hummii Snacks Points Candies you grab. We’ll use the Peanut Chocolate as an example, the one with a peanut inside wrapped in chocolate and covered in a shell. The nutrition you get from an entire 1oz bag of the product includes 17g of carbohydrates, a gram of that net carbs, 3g of protein, 8g of fat, and a total of 90 calories, 35% fewer calories compared to the same amount of Peanut M&M’s.
The crucial part about Points Candies from Hummii Snacks is the taste, and while we have yet to experience the functional food for ourselves, the almost completely sugar-free and low-calorie treat looks pretty good, and the young, growing brand has received promising feedback. You can try the product for yourself through hummii.com where bags can be purchased for as low as $2.23 each, and be on the lookout for another functional product from the team shortly in better-for-you Mini Muffins.
