Iconic Smucker’s freezer sandwiches, Uncrustables, has launched a new version and they’re higher in protein than the traditional. Many parents buy these sandwiches as an easy main dish lunch to toss into their kid’s brown bag or as a simple after school snack that requires zero prep or cooking. Some parents even eat them when they’re busy or on the road since they’re incredibly convenient.
Now, Smucker’s is selling a version that boasts 12-grams of protein called Uncrustables Bright-Eyed Berry. The sandwich is filled with peanut butter and strawberry jam, still encased in their iconic “unbeatably soft bread”, but is a larger size than the traditional, which is why it has more protein. The classic Strawberry Jam Uncrustables sandwich weighs 58-grams and has 6-grams of protein, while the new Bright-Eyed Berry Uncrustables weighs 80-grams and has 12-grams of protein.
Besides their most popular Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam and Grape Jelly sandwiches (including reduced sugar versions of both of those flavors), their lineup of Uncrustables also includes Peanut Butter & Raspberry Spread, Peanut Butter & Mixed Berry Spread, Peanut Butter & Chocolate Flavored Hazelnut Spread, Peanut Butter & Honey and Peanut Butter.
They also just dropped a new flavor called Up & Apple, which is a peanut butter and apple cinnamon jelly sandwich that’s suitable for the fall season.
Uncrustables New Higher Protein Sandwich Has 12-Grams, is Larger Than the Original
Some folks are thrilled to see a higher protein version of the iconic freezer sandwiches. “Need it”, “yessss”, “take my money” and “my day just got better” are just a few of the comments regarding the announcement.
Those who have tried it are leaving rave reviews. "Perfect for mornings when I’m rushing out the door or need an afternoon pick-me-up. Definitely adding this to my snack rotation. The strawberry jam tastes fresh, while the peanut butter gives it a smooth, nutty touch", said one person.

"You can never go wrong with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I was excited to try this bright-eyed berry flavor. The combination of strawberry and peanut butter is perfect with the right amount of sweetness to my taste. The bread is soft and moist. I love that the filling is full and the sandwich has 12-grams of protein. This is a quick and convenient choice for breakfast, on the go or adding to the lunch box", exclaimed another person.
Others would like to see the protein content even higher, but for a small sandwich that is marketed mostly towards kids, 12-grams of protein is more suitable than 6-grams - and yes, it does have more calories because of its larger size.
