When to Choose GoMacro MacroBar Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip
Organic purists who prioritize whole food ingredients and clean certifications above protein content
GoMacro is the gold standard for ingredient purity in the protein bar space. USDA Organic, C.L.E.A.N. certified, and made entirely from whole food ingredients. The trade-off is modest protein (11g) and higher sugar from organic sources. If ingredient quality matters more than macros, this is the bar to beat.
Strengths
- USDA Organic and C.L.E.A.N. certified with all whole food ingredients
- Zero artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, or preservatives of any kind
- Organic peanut butter and brown rice protein from traceable sources
Limitations
- Only 11g protein per bar — among the lowest in this comparison
- Higher sugar content (~10g) compared to low-sugar competitors
- Premium price at ~$3.21/bar makes it one of the most expensive options
When to Choose Pure Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar
Budget buyers who want the most protein per dollar and are not concerned about artificial sweeteners
Pure Protein wins on value — 20g protein at ~$1.33/bar is the cheapest protein per gram in this comparison. The whey blend is effective. But sucralose and likely artificial flavors earn it some of the lowest ingredient scores. This is the bar for those who count macros and dollars, not ingredient labels.
Strengths
- Best value in this comparison at ~$1.33/bar with 20g protein per bar
- Whey protein blend provides good bioavailability and complete amino acids
- Widely available at nearly every grocery store, convenience store, and pharmacy
Limitations
- Contains sucralose — a controversial artificial sweetener penalized in our scoring
- Likely contains artificial flavors alongside the sucralose sweetening
- Minimal transparency about sourcing, testing, or manufacturing practices
