“Obviously, for protein bars, I try to see the amount of grams in each one. So wouldn't touch these. However, this one is 15 grams. So I look at the grams in each one first, then I see if there is, like, a plant based option. I just prefer to go for a plant based, but, obviously, first, I'd go for grams. And then maybe second, sugars, but I don't really care about carbs.”

“I am mindful of the ingredients and labeling when choosing protein bars. So when I come across a new product, what elements on the package, helps me or shelf display is how many grams of protein, whether it uses natural sugar or artificial sweetener. I would say the texture, plant based or regular doesn't affect me. I enjoy plant based as well. But I would say that what specific elements are mainly the texture, the pro grams of protein, the flavor, and, or flavors.”

“If I had to choose one, it will be this Aloha brand, and I like this is actually a new flavor or a new brand I'm familiar with. It's because it's plant based, it has clean ingredients that can't pronounce, and it has high protein in it. Each one of bars has 14 grams of protein in it compared to other ones that I will try. Those ones had a lot of sugar in them. The ingredients aren't ones I really work was familiar with. So this brand stands out to me because of its, ingredient quality and its nutrition.”

“I don't find it confusing. I mean, it's I go for, like, 15 to 20 gram protein and then, like, calories and sugar intake. Pretty simple for me. Sometimes they don't put a picture of the bar on the package, then you don't know what it looks like.”

“No. The I'm sure they have the brands I like. There's some I like and some I don't like. I assume they have them all because when every time I go up there, I, I see quite a few of them on the shelf.”

Patrick W.

“Again, it's usually priced, and if I'm looking to stick with what I've tried before, I stick with those brands. Sometimes I do something different, so I try those. And I usually go for not the bars that are so compressed when they make them when they process them. So just more of a natural looking protein bar.”

“Today, I am purchasing the RXBAR, and the reason for this is because of the nutrition content and the familiarity of the brand, the fact that I know I like the amount of protein in the bar, and the flavor.”

Open quote details
Tiffany M.

“I usually look to see how much protein is in the bar, because I'm big on getting more protein out of the foods I eat than anything else. So that's my main thing. I look at the protein and then also look at the brand. Like I say, I'm really into the Quest bars, so I look to see if they have those, which they do.”

Open quote details
Brian D.

“For me, there are very few labels or special displays or anything that catch my attention. I think the main thing that catches my attention is the the number of grams of protein, which they usually display on the front of the box. I try to look for something 10 grams of protein or higher. And once I see a high gram of protein, well, then I kinda look at the nutritional information to see, with the protein and the calories and what what flavor the bar is and whatnot to see if it's something that I think I would like to try.”

Sara M.

“It would be the think high protein bar. I just love the fact that it's got 20 grams of protein per bar. I've had it before, so I like the taste of most of the flavor options. And I find that it's got low sugar too, which I like.”

Travis J.

“It would be the RXBAR. I am familiar with it. It's the chocolate sea salt. It has 12 grams of protein, fewer ingredients, not a whole lot of fat, only 200 calories per bar, and it does have a good amount of dietary fiber as well.”

Open quote details
Liz F.

“If the brand has clean ingredients and I trust the brand to continue having clean ingredients, I will purchase that brand repeatedly. And I also purchase based on the amount of protein in the bar. So if the ingredient stays the same and the protein content stays the same, I stick with the same brand. Also, based on flavor and what my family likes, I continue purchasing ones that I know will be consumed.”
