Upfront Protein Bar Pistachio Raspberry

Upfront Protein Bar Pistachio Raspberry

Company's Description

The prime example of the Upfront standard: a clean protein bar with nuts and dates. The Upfront protein bar was developed from the frustration that other protein bars contain many unrecognizable ingredients. We have proven that this can be done differently: a bar with 15 grams of protein, and ingredients that you do know.

Still Curious?

Why B?

This protein bar uses clean, whole-food ingredients and offers a good protein profile (15g). However, it contains 17g of sugar per serving, which is high for the protein bar category—even if the sugar is naturally derived from dates and raspberries. It remains a solid choice for active and clean-eating consumers but is not ideal for those avoiding sugar.
