The Dilemma of a Coffee Shop

Coffee shop snack counter and a cup of coffee on the table

You’re at the counter of a coffee shop, coffee ordered, waiting for your drink to be prepared. And as always, your eyes wander to the glass case of snacks. 

It’s a showdown there.

On one side: the big guns. Cake slices that could double as building bricks, brownies so rich they practically wink at you, and cookies the size of frisbees. They’ve got charisma, swagger. They’re not just snacks; they’re statements. You don’t just eat a brownie - you commit to it.

On the other side: the so-called “healthy” options. The banana looks like it’s been in there since last Tuesday. The packet of mixed nuts that somehow costs as much as a small mortgage. Maybe an oat bar pretending to be good for you but secretly loaded with sugar. They whisper virtue but not excitement. They’re the stuff you pick when you’re in “responsible adult mode,” which, let’s be honest, is rarely the vibe when you’re grabbing a coffee.

Mixed Nuts and Banana

But imagine - right there, nestled between the cookie mountain and the sad banana - Jo’s Absolute Nutrition protein balls. The game-changer. Suddenly, the choice isn’t joy versus punishment. It’s indulgence with benefits. You still get that “treat” moment - the soft, chewy bite, the flavour that pairs perfectly with your latte - but without the sugar crash or guilt tax afterwards.

Coffee shops may have engineered that glass case to pull you into the treat trap. But with Jo’s Absolute Nutrition’s protein balls in the lineup, you’ve got a real third option - something that feels like a reward but also leaves you walking out with your dignity (and blood sugar) intact.
