Do That’s it Bars contain micronutrients and antioxidants found in whole fruit?
Though only the minimum required nutrients are listed on the nutrition facts table for these bars (you can read more about the basics of a nutrition facts table here), we know that fruit does retain some of its micronutrient (vitamin and mineral) and antioxidant content after being dried.
The amount of nutrients retained after drying differs depending on the fruit and drying process used. But this means That’s It Bars likely provide more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than what is included in the nutrition facts table. This is especially noteworthy since naturally occurring micronutrients and antioxidants are less common in packaged, shelf-stable snacks.

I am looking to buy Thats it fruit bar. I am wondering, about the nutritional value of the bars. For example the Apple blueberry bar, is it full of nutrients like blueberry’s or does it lose it’s nutrients when dried out. Do the bars contain vitamin C, K and Maganese? What about the antioxidants?
Hi Rodney.
The company has not included this information on the label so it is difficult to know for sure (the bar would need to be tested in a lab). Generally speaking, fruit has been shown to retain some antioxidant and micronutrient content after being dried so the nutrients found in fresh blueberries/apples are likely still present, but the exact amount is unknown.
