The 5 Hidden Ways Protein Bars Wreck Your Gut

1. Artificial Sweeteners & Sugar Alcohols

Maltitol, sorbitol, erythritol… they pass through your gut undigested, fermenting in your intestines and leaving you bloated, crampy, and gassy.

2. Fake Fibers

Industrial fillers like polydextrose and IMO syrups are slapped on labels as “high fiber,” but they irritate your digestive system instead of feeding good gut bacteria.

3. Low-Quality, Hard-to-Digest Protein

Here’s what nobody tells you: just because a bar says “20g protein” doesn’t mean your body actually absorbs it. Most bars use cheap soy isolates or synthetic protein powders that are poorly bioavailable. So while the number on the wrapper looks impressive, much of that protein passes through without nourishing your muscles or your health.

4. Chemical Flavors & Preservatives

From “birthday cake” to “cookies & cream,” those flavors aren’t from real food. They’re lab-made chemicals that add even more stress to your gut.

5. Seed Oils (Hidden in Many Bars)

Inflammatory oils like canola, sunflower, and soybean sneak into the ingredient list, disrupting hormones and fueling digestive inflammation.

Up Till Now, Clean Label Meant Horrible Taste & Texture

You might think the solution is “cleaner” bars.

But here’s the problem:

• Most “natural” bars taste like cardboard.

• They are super oily with weird texture.

• They only deliver 8–10g of protein, which isn’t enough to keep you full or help with recovery.

• Others swap artificial sweeteners for massive amounts of sugar, sending your blood sugar spiking and crashing.

Why should you have to choose between gut-friendly and enjoyable?

Between taste and nutrition?

We Wanted No Compromises

Most protein bars force you to settle.

High protein, but gut issues.

“Clean” ingredients, but horrible flavor.

Tasty, but packed with junk.

We don’t believe you should have to choose.

That’s why we made Pasture Bars: a protein bar that gives you all three at once: real ingredients, delicious taste, and grass-fed protein your body can actually absorb and use.

Because eating protein bars daily shouldn’t mean bloating, bad aftertastes, or wasted nutrition.

Pasture Bars: The Only Protein Bar Your Gut Will Thank You For

A protein bar designed for daily eating: high in protein, gut-friendly, and made only with real food.

Most bars trade your health for convenience. They’re loaded with sugar alcohols, cheap protein isolates, and fillers your body can’t digest.

Pasture Bars are different.

Real, Simple Ingredients

🥩 Grass-fed beef protein blend your body can actually absorb

🍫 Organic cocoa butter & organic chocolate chips

🍯 Raw honey for sweetness without the gut bombs

🌱 Natural prebiotic fiber to nourish good gut bacteria

❌ No seed oils, sugar alcohols, or synthetic preservatives

The result?

A protein bar you can finally eat every day without compromise.

Built Different. Built Better.

Protein bars usually overpromise for what they are. We created Pasture Bars for what a protein bar should actually be.

✅ Bioavailable Protein → Most bars list 20g of protein, but much of it comes from cheap isolates your body barely absorbs. Pasture Bars have 18g of grass-fed protein designed for digestion and nutrient absorption.

✅ Gut Support → No sugar alcohol landmines, no highly processed ingredients, no seed oils. Instead, organic ingredients and natural prebiotic fiber that feeds your microbiome.

✅ Taste You’ll Crave → Chocolate Brownie, Salted Caramel, and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip: made with organic ingredients and actually taste incredible.

Finally, A Protein Bar You Can Eat Every Day

Protein is too important to compromise on and too many bars make you do exactly that.

❌ High protein, but stomach pain.

❌ “Clean” ingredients, but chalky taste.

❌ Tasty, but loaded with junk.

Pasture Bars fix the trade-offs:

✅ High protein you actually absorb

✅ Gut-friendly ingredients

✅ Real flavor from real food

Perfect for:

🏋️ Training and recovery

📈 Busy workdays when you need clean fuel

🌱 Daily gut health support
