Orgain

The Orgain Organic Protein Bar – Peanut Butter receives a rating of 3 out of 5 green leaves on our scale. This product positions itself as a cleaner option in the protein bar market, and for consumers seeking organic ingredients, it largely delivers. The bar’s protein blend, which includes organic brown rice protein, pea protein crisps, and ground chia seeds, is entirely organic. Additionally, the use of non-GMO ingredients aligns with the product’s health-conscious branding.

However, the inclusion of certain ingredients detracts from its overall score. The bar contains erythritol, an added sugar alcohol, which raises concerns for those avoiding all forms of added sweeteners. Tapioca syrup, another form of added sugar, further lowers the product’s rating due to its potential impact on blood sugar levels and overall health. Furthermore, the presence of organic peanut butter flavor and vegetable glycerin, which are categorized as potentially harmful additives, also impact the score negatively.

The Orgain Organic Protein Bar is free from GMOs, and its emphasis on organic components is commendable. Yet, the product’s cleaner profile is somewhat compromised by the inclusion of added sweeteners and additives. Consumers looking for an entirely natural and unsweetened option may need to consider other products. This bar is a middle-of-the-road choice for those navigating the complex landscape of healthier snack alternatives. It has its merits, especially in terms of organic content, but it falls short in other areas that are important for a clean diet. The bar serves as a moderate option for those who prioritize organic ingredients but are less stringent about the inclusion of certain sweeteners and additives.
