ModBalls Protein Snack Bites Review

There are energy bars. There are protein shakes. And then there are ModBalls—compact snack bites we tried in 2025. The package we reviewed listed 100 calories per ball; check the current label for nutrition information.

I tried ModBalls because apparently, I’m the kind of person who believes “sustained energy” comes in snack form and not, say, from eight hours of sleep or a life without crushing expectations. ModBalls are positioned as a compact alternative to more traditional snack bars, with a dense texture and a long ingredient list.

Flavors and Texture

Instead, ModBalls arrive in convenient poppable form, like if a granola bar and a multivitamin got into CrossFit and started bragging about it. The 2025 lineup we tried came in two flavors: Almond Coconut Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chocolate, the latter of which tastes like someone whispered “Reese’s” while tossing kale into a Vitamix. Current flavors may differ.

Ingredients and Nutrition

The 2025 package information described a blend of more than 75 fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and chocolate. Which is incredible, considering it’s still somehow only 100 calories. I assume a few of the vegetables are imaginary, because I’ve eaten plenty and never felt this allegedly “natural energy.”

According to the brand story available when we reviewed them in 2025, food scientist Stephen Story developed ModBalls while looking for a nutrient-dense snack for his kids. The package we reviewed emphasized fruit, vegetable, seed and nut ingredients; readers should check the current label for the latest ingredient and additive information.

For me, they worked best as a convenient snack between meals rather than as some kind of performance product. Individual experiences will vary, and nutrition claims are best checked against the current package.

Texture and Everyday Use

Still, if you’re the type who enjoys chewing, be warned: these aren’t exactly melt-in-your-mouth experiences. They have the consistency of a fruitcake that’s been to a fitness retreat—dense, chewy, and unapologetically earnest about it.

How ModBalls Fit Everyday Snacking

If you’re into snacks that wear capes and make your trail mix look lazy, ModBalls might be your new thing. Just be prepared to say the phrase “plant proteins” unironically from now on.
