Snack of the month: Kriket Pop Bar Cocoa

Table of contents

    Every month, our curators pick one snack that stands out on every level. First tasted ourselves, then put through our SnackCheck: does the taste hold up, and what makes it better? At JustBite, we believe in tasting, not preaching.

    And this month, we've got the perfect bar to prove it. Because you taste chocolate, but there's a surprise in there you won't see coming. Meet the Kriket Pop Bar Cocoa.

    JustBite colleague shows the Snack of the Month: Kriket Pop Bar Cocoa. A chocolate bar with 12g protein and cricket protein as a sustainable twist, for a more nutritious break at the office.

    This month: Kriket Pop Bar Cocoa

    Why this snack?

    Taste first. A rich cocoa flavour, crunchy puffed soy for the bite, and a velvety smooth layer of chocolate on top. This is the bar for those moments when a chocolate craving hits and you still want something that'll keep you going for a while. Ideal with coffee, after a workout, or against the afternoon slump.

    And then the twist: the protein in this bar comes from crickets. You won't taste it at all, and that's exactly the point.

    The SnackCheck: why this choice holds up

    We put the Pop Bar through how we select snacks. It excels across our three dimensions of better:

    • More nutritious: 12g protein per bar, virtually no sugar and plenty of fibre. Cricket protein is also a complete protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids, and naturally rich in vitamin B12.
    • More sustainably produced: crickets have a low footprint and are farmed on leftover streams from the food industry. That way, valuable nutrients aren't wasted, and this bar fits into a circular story.
    • Fairer & local: a Belgian brand that's transparent about a still-unusual protein source, and that farms close to home instead of far away.

    Our curation: why we choose Kriket

    Kriket was founded by a brother and sister bringing insect protein out of the niche and into your desk drawer. Not the easy choice, but a smart one.

    And it's the ultimate test of our philosophy. At JustBite, we believe change starts with tasting, not preaching. A chocolate bar that wins you over on taste, and only then surprises you with what's inside: making better snacking easy, exactly as we mean it.
