GoMacro MacroBar Sunflower Butter + Chocolate — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates GoMacro MacroBar Sunflower Butter + Chocolate by GoMacro OKAY — score 62/90.
Same honest, all-organic playbook as GoMacro's other bars, and this one is nut-free and soy-free: sunflower butter, sprouted-rice protein, cocoa, and puffed rice. The trade-off is sweetness; organic brown rice syrup leads the list and coconut sugar joins it, pushing this to 11g sugar and 270 calories. Clean and allergy-friendly, but a sweet energy bar rather than a lean protein snack.
Why this verdict
- All-organic, whole-food list that is also nut-free and soy-free
- Brown rice syrup is the lead ingredient, with coconut sugar as a second sweetener
- Sugar-forward and calorie-dense at 11g sugar and 270 kcal
- No additives, colors, or artificial anything; genuinely clean label
