New at Costco: Worth it or Not?

If you're like me and always looking for convenient and healthy snack options, the Smash Jammy Protein Bites available at Costco are definitely worth checking out. What stands out most about these bites is their use of sunflower butter instead of peanut butter, which is excellent for those avoiding peanuts or looking to try something different. The bites come in two appealing flavors: blueberry and strawberry. Both have a pleasant sweetness that's balanced well by the jammy filling. Right away, the texture impressed me—it’s soft yet slightly chewy, making it a satisfying treat whether you’re at work, on a hike, or needing a quick pick-me-up during the day. I scored the taste around 8 out of 10, primarily because the sunflower butter flavor is somewhat unique compared to traditional nut butters you find in snacks. It may take a moment to get used to, but once combined with the fruit jam, it creates a well-rounded, delicious flavor profile. Also, these bites are gluten-free and come in convenient 1.8 oz snack packs, making them easy to carry in a bag or lunchbox. What I appreciate is how these snacks align with the growing trend of protein-rich, clean-ingredient foods that avoid common allergens. Costco’s offering of 16 packs provides great value for those needing a nutritious snack stash. Whether you’re a fan of Smash jams or just curious about new protein snack options, these Jammy Protein Bites provide a smart, tasty, and allergy-friendly alternative to traditional peanut butter snacks. Overall, I would definitely repurchase them and recommend giving the blueberry or strawberry varieties a try if you want a portable, flavorful snack that stands out from the usual options.
