Go Macro Bars

Awarded a rating of 3 out of 5 green leaves, the Go Macro Bars Double Chocolate Brownie Kids Bar presents itself as a middle-of-the-road choice for those seeking cleaner food options. This product distinguishes itself with an all-organic ingredient list and a commitment to non-GMO components, aligning with the preferences of health-conscious consumers.

The bar is built on a foundation of organic brown rice syrup and organic almond butter, supplemented with an organic protein blend that includes sprouted brown rice protein and pea protein. It includes organic maple sugar and organic chocolate chips sweetened with organic coconut sugar. Textural variety comes from organic puffed brown rice, while organic almond flour and cocoa powder contribute to the overall composition. The product is finished with an organic chocolate drizzle, and the flavor profile is rounded out with organic natural vanilla flavor and sea salt.

Despite its organic credentials, the product’s score is affected by the presence of added sugars. Coconut sugar and maple sugar lead to a deduction, with a more significant reduction due to the inclusion of brown rice syrup, which is considered a less desirable sweetener. Additionally, the presence of ‘flavor’ as an ingredient, despite being organic, raises concerns regarding potential harm from additives, leading to another deduction in score.

The Go Macro Bars Double Chocolate Brownie Kids Bar occupies a space where it serves as a viable option for those prioritizing organic ingredients while also recognizing the need for improvement in the area of added sugars and clarity around flavor additives. Its middle-range rating reflects a balance between commendable organic practices and areas where the product could improve to meet the highest standards of clean eating.
