Protein bars are a must-have for those seeking quick and easy nutrition. However, this incredible snack format is often shrouded by myths, misleading claims, and vague marketing jargon. Are protein bars really healthy? Are all bars the same? And how can you tell a good one from a bad one? In this blog, we’ll debunk some of the most common myths surrounding protein bars and show you how NexBar stands apart as a sustainable, nutritious, and delicious option.

Myth 1: All Protein Bars Are Healthy

It’s easy to assume that anything marketed as a protein bar must be healthy. However, many traditional protein bars are packed with added sugars, artificial flavours, and hidden preservatives. It is important to look at the list of ingredients to get a better idea of how healthy the bar really is.

How NexBar Stands Apart

We at NexBar prides ourselves on transparency and quality. Made with sustainably sourced cricket protein, our bars avoid artificial ingredients and prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods like fruit and nut, chocolate, and coconut. With no hidden sugars or vague ingredient names, NexBar lets you know exactly what you’re eating.

Myth 2: Protein Bars Are Only for Athletes

Protein bars have traditionally been marketed toward bodybuilders or athletes, leading many to think they aren’t suitable for the average person. This couldn’t be further from the truth!

How NexBar Stands Apart

NexBar caters to everyone, whether you’re an athlete, a busy worker, or just someone looking for healthy snacks. With flavours like dark chocolate protein bars and coconut protein bars, they’re perfect for on-the-go energy or a guilt-free treat. In addition, our bars are high in fiber and low in sugar, making them a great choice for anyone trying to add in a healthy snack in their daily lives.

Myth 3: Sustainable and Healthy Snacks Can’t Be Tasty

Sustainable and healthy products sometimes have a notion attached that they can’t be tasty if they’re eco-friendly. This is simply false.

How NexBar Stands Apart

NexBar proves that you don’t have to compromise on taste to prioritize the planet. Our eco-friendly bars deliver bold, delicious flavours, all while being good for the environment. By incorporating cricket protein, we create a bar that’s high in protein, flavorful, and environmentally sustainable.

Myth 4: Protein Bars Are Packed with Sugar

It’s a common misconception that protein bars are inherently healthy despite the hidden sugars they often contain. Many traditional bars are loaded with artificial sweeteners or excessive sugar content disguised under technical, umbrella terms like natural sweeteners or fruit syrup.

How NexBar Stands Apart

NexBar addresses this issue by offering low sugar snacks designed for health-conscious consumers such as yourself. By using sustainable and natural ingredients, and avoiding high sugar additives, NexBar ensures you get a healthy and delicious snack, without consuming loads of sugar. If you’re looking for healthy snacks on the go, NexBar is the perfect option for maintaining your energy while prioritizing your well-being.

Myth 5: Protein Bars Can’t Be Eco-Friendly

The production of most protein bars contributes to environmental strain due to their reliance on unsustainable farming practices and excessive packaging waste. This is especially true of traditional sources of protein.

How NexBar Stands Apart

NexBar uses eco-conscious and sustainably sourced ingredients, featuring insect protein, specifically crickets, which has a significantly lower environmental footprint compared to traditional protein sources. By choosing NexBar, you’re supporting environmentally friendly snacks that champion sustainable farming and production methods, paving the way for a greener planet.

Myth 6: Protein Bars Aren’t Affordable

Some people believe that healthy, high-quality protein bars are an unaffordable luxury. This is an understandable take as many traditional brands overprice their products while compromising on quality.

With our 5 and 10-pack options and competitive pricing, NexBar makes it easier than ever to add healthy & affordable snacks into your diet.

Myth 8: Healthy Protein Bars Lack Flavour

A very prominent myth is that healthier snacking options sacrifice flavour, leading to bland or overly artificial-tasting products (especially if they are high-protein).

How NexBar Stands Apart

NexBar completely disproves this myth by offering delicious and unique flavours like dark chocolate,  coconut, and fruit medley, which combine rich taste with health benefits. We have something for everyone, with new flavours being planned as we speak! NexBar ensures flavour and nutrition go hand in hand.
