All our protein bars have a low glycemic index. In each Simply Bar, there are 16g of protein and less than 4g of sugar. Instead of using large amounts of fat, we rely on Non Genetically Modified soy protein and low glycemic brown rice syrup.
Our brown rice syrup is low in sugars, easily absorbed, all natural and will not spike blood sugar.
Why Low GI?
High insulin levels and insulin resistance are a few of the main reasons for obesity and being overweight. There have been studies that relate increased blood sugar levels to high glycemic index foods. There is also a long list of long-term side-effects including memory loss, wrinkles, and heart disease. Low GI snacks are a wiser and healthier choice.
Eat a Simply Bar when:
Low GI and Diabetic Diet
Diabetic nutrition and maintaining a low GI diet means keeping a close eye on your food choices. Foods that have a high glycemic index and should be avoided include white bread, potatoes, dried fruits and baked goods. These are foods with little or no protein or fiber, and they contain high amounts of sugar. These snacks can increase excess insulin.
It is difficult to find protein bars for diabetics. Many other protein bars use dates as the primary component to bind the other ingredients. Dates are very high in sugar. The Simply Bar is a natural, low sugar food bar. Our products do not contain any sugar alcohols, which the body cannot fully absorb leading to indigestion and bloating.
Over-consumption of sugar in our diets is increasing the risk of diabetes and obesity. To maintain a healthy diet and minimize these risks, we recommend eating a Simply Bar with other diabetic friendly snacks such as whole grains, vegetables, and lean protein.
The diabetic conversion of one Simply Bar is three lean proteins and one carbohydrate choice.

All our protein bars are low glycemic and are suitable for diabetics.

I'm an avid rock climber, former outdoor guide and a very active midwife with celiac and blood sugar issues in a busy final year of residency. I LOVE your bars! Pregnancy is such an important time in a women's life to reflect about what she puts into her body and gets motivated to make positive changes. I love to recommend this bar to my clients!
I love the fact that you’re the only protein bar that is not full of calories. It’s great for a calorie counter like me. I usually go for the chocolate kinds as I always found the fruity flavors fake. But WOW, I really like the lemon coconut. I was surprised. Thanks so much for giving us a better choice!
