Inclusion of Functional Ingredients: Many granola bar brands are incorporating functional ingredients like protein, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants to enhance the nutritional profile and cater to specific health needs. This has further contributed to the market growth.

Many people consider granola bars a convenient and healthy snack and enjoy their flavor and versatility. In some cases, granola bars can be a good source of fiber and protein to help curb cravings between meals. However, some contain as much sugar, carbs, and calories as candy bars.

Granola bars are often considered a healthy snack, but despite these marketing claims, many are loaded with added sugar, calories, and artificial ingredients. For example, Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Harvest granola bars can contain up to 15 grams of sugar per serving - mostly from added sugar.

They also manage to stuff a ton of ingredients into a small package, qualifying them as an “ultra-processed” food. An occasional Chewy bar won't sabotage your diet, but their nutritional profile makes them little more than empty calories.
