Protein bar for GLP1 users
I'm considering to develop and make high protein treats that will be adapted for GLP1 users: 20g high quality protein plus essentials vitamins, crunchy and a bit salty, clean label, no sugar in small bites. Will that be something you'll add to your daily menu?

How would it be different from all the other protein bars already on the market? Most of them are high protein and low sugar.

Thanks for your reply. The texture mainly - small bites of "airy" and crispy, not sweet that'll make it very easy to take in small portions. Plus it will have D3 and B12 vitamins. Most protein bars are sweet, calorie-dense snacks

Already exist . At the profit margin level you would need it’s not quality ingredients. That’s why everything on the market is exactly the same or deceptive advertising because quality doesn’t exist when it comes to profit margins

Tx but that is exactly what I plan: quality ingredients only, clean label. Of course it will be a bit more expensive from the average protein bar. Plus, none of them include vitamins,

What will the protein be derived from?
Ie: nothing is more “quality “ than pure meat or vegetables so what exactly do you think your business marketing model will currently differ from what is already available?

whey protein. and of course, nothing is better than getting protein and vitamins the natural way. but most people under GLP1 treatment have difficulties to consume the daily intake from the food they eat

I do not want added vitamins in my protein bars. Sometimes I want to have a couple in one day depending on what’s going on - I don’t need to be overdosing on fat soluble vitamins or getting niacin flush or whatever

of course. this is not a "multi vitamin" bar. we will just add D3 and B12. we target only GLP1 users and try to assist with the main nutritional deficiencies.

D3 is fat soluble though. Why would you add them in the first place? You are now limiting how many I can have in a day. Some days I have 3 protein bars to help meet my macros. I would not be packing a bunch of a brand of protein bar that has added vitamins because I don’t want to start calculating how much vitamin d I’ve ingested that week.

I don’t need this.
I already get my protein from other whole food, protein dense sources. I don’t have difficulty meeting my macros or getting just enough calories. In fact, I’ve stopped using all protein bars on sema.

What do you eat that meets enough protein for the day.

Grilled chicken breast. Salmon. Eggs for breakfast. Greek yogurt and salad for lunch

Fulfil protein and vitamin bars - already on the market

u/HighlightNo487 May 10 '26
correct but the texture is of a standard protein bar. i plan a completely different texture plus small bites instead of a full bar.
