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 am loyal to the dark chocolate go macro bars. They are not dry like many protein bars and are also not overly sweet.

    More flavors would be nice

  • So yummy!! Taste and ingredient wise, I love them! Perfect for pre-workout or a quick on the go breakfast (p.s. my favorite flavor is peanut butter chocolate chip)!

  • The experience of eating a GoMacro is more similar to an Rx Bar than a normal protein bar, which is fine with me. I do like the chocolate chip/oat variation and I find them to be pretty filling, as they are fairly calorie dense. Macros are good. Although I dislike that there is a decent amount of added sugar in these, my largest qualm is the price. These are priced too high in my opinion.

  • I've tried to not be addicted to these bars but it's impossible. So many great experiences with this brand and product from customer service to quality. As a personal trainer and wellness professional, clients come to me for my advice on the best products and I love to share products that I use and I can rely on. This has been one of my top bars. It's organic, real foods without sugar alcohols or artificial ingredients. Peanut Butter is my favorite!

    I wish this bar had a little more protein and lower carbs but again it is real food in the ingredients. I am not sure why but I look forward to one of these everyday and I never get sick of them. When the brand first came out, I reached out to the company and inquired about product info for a wellness fair I was doing and they went above and beyond to send me info. Awesome customer service that stands behind their product.

  • These bars offered a good amount of protein but for the price they just have so much sugar so I try to avoid them now :(

    Less Sugar!

  • Some of my favorite bars! I love most of the flavors! Some of them I don't like, but that is personal preference. I would recommend all of the peanut butter flavors they have.

  • Great gluten free bar option! Wish the sugar content wasn’t so high, but great option for on-the-go/travel.

  • I am so grateful I found these bars! They have so many flavors so it’s easy to rotate and not get bored. They are made with high quality simply ingredients and are friendly to various dietary restrictions.

  • The nutrition profile on these bars are good, flavour is great but calories are a bit high

  • Taste great and have good texture (protein bars can be weirdly sticky) but I just wish they had more protein in them. They’re not that filling but they tend to have higher calories than other bars.

  • Pretty good flavor although the bar was much more like the RxBar in consistency

  • these are expensive and dont taste good

    weird texture - would only eat it if I was legit super hungry and had no other options

  • Peanut Protein is so good it doesn't make sense that it's ingredients are actually healthy.

  • The first flavor I tried with the coconut tasted very off. Chewy texture and very artificial tasting. The oatmeal chocolate chip one was slightly better, as the addition of the oatmeal helped balance out the texture. A lot of sugar for a protein bar.

  • Love this brand, still kind of high sugar but appreciate the quality ingredients used.

  • I was on the low fodmap diet for a period of time and Go Macro bars were one of the few bars that I could have! Among the other options, Go Macro has the best taste, texture, and ingredient list!

  • I really enjoy these bars. Oatmeal Chocolate Chip is my favorite (I've only tried that and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip). They are something I reach for because I actually enjoy them - which I can't say for the majority of protein bars. I prefer the mini bars - they're a great snack size.

    These are pretty pricey for what they are. I know they frequently offer sales and discounts on their website, so that may be the way to go.

  • I have mixed feelings on this bar. The texture is gummy. The taste really depends on flavor. The chocolate never tastes like chocolate. The only flavor I do like is the blueberry one. It is a bar that I purchase from time to time more for the ease and wholesome ingredients (snack/breakfast on-the-go) rather than the actual enjoyment.

  • My favorite bars! Love all the flavors and they're so filling.

    Feedback

    In one of my classes, we did a price analysis of bars and GoMacro had the highest (an outlier) price so I wish they could reduce it.

  • I got the oatmeal chocolate chip flavor and it was very tasty for the amount of protein/ingredients. I also appreciate the fact that they carry these bars at Trader Joe’s so I can get them on my usual grocery run and not have to worry about ordering them online.
