Why does Nutribar contain sugar?
The palatability of Nutribar bars and shakes is crucial to helping you stay on track. Whether Nutribar or a prepared meal, it’s important to enjoy the taste of the foods you eat. The sweetness in Nutribar comes from glucose-fructose and sucrose (sugar), which are classified as simple carbohydrates. All carbohydrates supply energy, whether simple or complex (as in grain products, fruits and vegetables). Nutrition recommendations advise that individuals should get more of the day’s energy from carbohydrates (55%) from a variety of sources than from either protein or fat.
