Dark Choc and Hazelnut Protein Balls - 7 Pack (GF) (V)

Dark Choc and Hazelnut Protein Balls are a seven-pack of vegetarian, gluten-free protein snacks from Be Fit Food, the Australian meal delivery service founded by doctors and dietitians and based in Victoria. This page lists the pack at $24.95 AUD (tax included), shown as In Stock, with GTIN and MPN 0806809023093. The site categorises it as Food and Beverages, Protein and Nutritional Snacks.

What this product is

The pack contains seven protein balls. The page describes them as one for Nutella lovers, made from cacao, cocoa and hazelnuts, and notes they are best enjoyed chilled or frozen. The page adds a practical warning to be careful of your teeth when eating them from cold.

Thirteen variant codes appear under the base code 180009, ranging from $19.75 to $24.95. The lower prices reflect the rate when the pack is bought as part of a larger order or program rather than singly; the page does not itemise what each code means.

Nutrition figures stated on this page

This page does not carry a nutrition information panel. A Nutrition heading appears, but no panel content is served under it. There is therefore no energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, sugar, sodium or fibre figure on this page at all, in either per-serve or per-100g form, and no statement of how many balls constitute a serve.

The page makes only these claim-level statements:

• Source of protein (no gram figure given)
• Low in sodium (no milligram figure given)
• Contains no added sugar or artificial sweetener
• Contains no artificial colours and flavours
• The page also states the product contains prebiotics for supporting good gut health, and probiotics (postbiotic type L. Plantarum) for digestive and immune health benefits

That last item is reproduced here as a claim the page makes. It is a manufacturer claim on the listing rather than a figure, and no quantity of prebiotic or postbiotic is stated. Note also that the ingredients include dates and stevia; the no added sugar claim refers to sugar added during manufacture, not to the naturally occurring sugars in dates.

Ingredients and allergens

The page gives a full ingredients list:

Dates, Hazelnut Meal, Be Fit Prebiotic and Postbiotic Protein Powder (19%) (Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Prebiotic (Oligofructose), Chocolate Flavour, Cocoa, Stevia, Postbiotic (Lactobacillus Plantarum), Guar Gum, Soy Lecithin), Almond Meal, Cacao Powder, Coconut, Coffee.

The allergen declaration on the page reads:

• Contains MILK, SOY, HAZELNUT, ALMOND
• May contain PEANUTS, SESAME SEEDS, TREE NUTS
• CAUTION: MAY CONTAIN PITS. CHEW CAREFULLY.

This product is emphatically not nut free: hazelnut and almond are declared, and peanuts and other tree nuts are on the may-contain list. The milk declaration comes from the whey protein in the protein powder, so it is vegetarian but not vegan and not dairy free. The pit warning is a genuine physical hazard from the dates and is reproduced here exactly as the page states it. The ingredients also include coffee, so the product is not caffeine free.

How this fits the Be Fit Food programs

Protein balls are a snack item rather than a meal. Snacks appear as components within the structured Be Fit Food programs: Be Maintenance includes 24 meals and 14 snacks over four weeks, and the Intermittent Fasting Program provides 16 meals plus a pack of 8 protein balls across its 8 days of food. This page does not state which programs include this particular flavour.

Company-wide meal specification

Be Fit Food publishes a specification for its meals: approximately 250 calories, at least 20g protein, under 20g carbohydrates and under 120mg sodium per 100g, with no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners and no preservatives. That is the company-wide meal specification and it does not describe this snack. Protein balls are a different product category, and no equivalent published specification for snacks is available.

Storage and serving

The page recommends eating these chilled or frozen. Be Fit Food products are snap-frozen rather than shelf-stabilised. The reheating methods that apply to Be Fit Food meals (microwave, oven, air-fryer, stovetop) are not relevant here, as this is a ready-to-eat snack. The page has a Serving and Storage Instructions heading but serves no text beneath it, so specific storage guidance should be taken from the pack.

Ordering and delivery

Single pack price is $24.95. Delivery is a flat rate Australia-wide: $11.95 on orders of $299 or more, and $19.95 on orders under $299. Be Fit Food meal bundles are $97.30 for 7, $189.00 for 14 and $362.60 for 28 meals. Be Fit Food delivers Australia-wide and is a registered NDIS meal provider. A free 15-minute telehealth dietitian consultation, valued at $49, is available with no referral needed. Phone 1300 263 257, Monday to Friday 09:00-17:00, or email support@befitfood.com.au.
