TRUBAR has dubbed its plant-based protein bars with dessert-inspired flavors "the perfect GLP-1-friendly protein bars," thanks to their nourishing, satiating formulas to support digestion and regulate blood sugar levels. The brand's clean, allergen-friendly, gluten-free bars boast 12 grams of plant-based protein and 11 grams of fiber, and entirely exclude artificial sweeteners and preservatives, as well as sugar alcohols, which can cause bloating and digestive issues, especially for GLP-1 medication users.
As far as which of its plant-powered protein bars it recommends, TRUBAR highlights fan-favorites like Oh Oh Cookie Dough, nostalgic Get in My Belly PB & Jelly, and the all-new Strawberry Shorty Got Cake.
Some brands are now expressly formulating GLP-1-friendly meals, snacks and beverages tailored to the needs of users, while others—with existing products rich in protein and fiber—are shifting their messaging to highlight how their offerings align with the nutritional needs of this growing consumer base.
