Reviews mention

  • Clean organic ingredient list
  • Wide, crowd-pleasing flavor variety
  • Satisfying dense chew
  • Vegan, gluten-free formulation
  • High added sugar content
  • Modest protein-to-calorie ratio
  • Occasionally sticky, gummy texture
  • Inconsistent flavor execution

GoMacro earns strong reviews for clean, organic, plant‑based bars that taste satisfying—standouts include Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Coconut + Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Lemon, and Salted Caramel—so the brand is good for on‑the‑go fuel and gentle digestion. Reviews also flag drawbacks: dense, chewy or sticky texture, inconsistent flavors, high calories and added sugars, and modest protein for a “protein bar,” making it better as a snack or light meal than a high‑protein option.

  • I want to love these because they are a healthier bar as bar options go, yet unfortunately, I do not love these. I have tried literally every single flavor, hoping that one of them will be good. Again, unfortunately, I have been left disappointed and with a weird taste in my mouth.

  • These are an 11/10. I have been loyal to them for years and rarely waiver.

  • My favorite bar ever!! I love having it on hand anywhere. It’s filling yet nutritious. I always have it for shoots and hike days. I really enjoy the sunflower butter bar.

  • I'm absolutely hooked on these! I swear, I always have at least one with me wherever I go. It has become my go-to snack, and I can't imagine leaving the house without it. The best part is, they come in a wide variety of flavors and they're packed with protein. Plus, they're vegan-friendly! It's the ultimate snack that satisfies my cravings while still being nutritious.

  • I like how thin they are, doesn't taste too dry, but still not desirable to eat. taste a bit like sticky granola, would eat if I need to

  • Im obsessed with the coconut and chocolate chip bars... seriously the best ever. Good texture. Not too sticky or too dense - and clean ingredients that are great, filling and nutrient dense while being actually yummy.

  • This bar tasted great. Really can’t complain on that front. My issue is with the macros and calories. It’s high calorie (270 calories) while having only 10 grams of protein but plenty of carbs. So if you want a carb heavy bar this wouldn’t be a bad choice. While not exactly being healthy, the ingredients ARE cleaner than most protein bars.

  • These bars are pretty hearty and tasty. I wish the calorie to protein ratio was a little better but they sure taste like a treat. They are dense and filling. The oatmeal pb one is yummy af.

  • Love the GoMacro bar and everything about it! The flavor was on point. It was a good pre workout bar to fuel me through my sessions without resorting to caffeine. Clean ingredients and great portion size.

  • I received GoMacro for free through a coupon I used. I purchased the oatmeal chocolate chip and tried this as an evening snack and it was just “alright”. I did not love it but I didn’t hate it. The brands mission is nice and their products have great ingredients. It’s a bit on the pricier side.

  • Life can be busy at times and these are a lifesaver to me when I'm mobile. A quick bite with protein and calories enough to keep me going through a long day. Their texture is ok. Chocolate peanut butter is my favorite.

  • These are truly the definition of runner's food. They are super super dense and thick and will give you that energy you need while being vegan and gluten free. But they taste awful - like super thick cardboard

  • I am a huge fan or GoMacro bars! They taste so delicious and use organic and clean ingredients. The bars are plant based and gluten free. They are bigger than the average bar so you can feel full more easily. There are lots of flavors to choose from!

  • These bars are great when you are on the run and need a quick pick me up. They have so many different flavors. I tend to pick the ones that have a little chocolate in them to give it a little sweetness. Downside is that they are bit pricey.

  • Some flavors I like, others not so much. Currently I've been loving the peanut butter chocolate chip one but I do find that these have a lot of sugar. But they are a good pick me up or snack on the go.

  • GoMacro bars might look like a healthy choice, but they’re basically glorified candy bars—loaded with sugar, overly sticky, and leave a weird aftertaste that’s hard to ignore. I’ve tried a few flavors, and honestly, I don’t get how anyone could consider these a clean-eating win.

  • I love these proteins bars. They have tons of different innovative varieties and all the ones I’ve had have a great texture and taste. They’re easy to take on the go as well and convenient since they don’t need refrigeration. Definitely recommend this brand

  • Tried Go Macro and didn’t like it. The taste was off to me, and it had a strange aftertaste that I couldn’t get past. The texture was fine, but the flavor just didn’t hit the mark. Won’t be buying it again.

  • While I'm not a huge fan of these my kids love them and they're extremely picky so it's a win in my book

  • I'm not a fan of these. They taste almost like oatmeal taffy. I'm not sure why so many people like them. They're pretty high in calories as well. Maybe they're good for hikers or runners?
