The Robyn Engelson Podcast Ever wish you had a wellness mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar health tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host–a sought after autoimmune and wellness expert, corporate drop-out turned serial entrepreneur, and lifestyle transformer. Each week, I'll be bringing you inspiring guests, insights, and mindset tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.    Episode Title: Protein bars and drive-thrus again? [Your nutrition cheat code—straight from a pro sports dietitian.] Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Amy Goodson, MS, RD, CSSD   Episode Summary: In this energizing episode, Robyn chats with Amy Goodson—registered dietitian and certified specialist in sports dietetics—about how to fuel athletes (and their busy families) in a realistic and approachable way. With nearly two decades of experience working with everyone from peewee players to pro athletes, Amy breaks down the myths and simplifies nutrition. She shares her practical, no-fuss approach to making better food choices—even on the road, at tournaments, or in the middle of a chaotic week. Whether you're a parent, an athlete, or someone just trying to eat better without obsessing over perfection, this episode gives you the tools and mindset to make it work in real life.   You'll learn: Why fueling athletes (especially youth) properly is about more than just game day The magic of the 80/20 rule and how to apply it to family meals How carbs and protein work together to support stable energy and brain function Why “fuel early, fuel often” is Amy's #1 nutrition motto Easy protein-packed breakfast ideas and grab-and-go snacks The difference between sports nutrition vs. everyday nutrition—and why it matters How to navigate gas stations, fast food joints, and airports without derailing your goals Why habit stacking can help make fueling routines second nature   Memorable Quotes: “You don't get better on game day. You get better at practice—and you have to fuel for that.” “I'm a real-life dietitian. I don't love to cook, but I love to help people win with food.” “Fuel early, fuel often—that's how you stay ahead of the energy crash.”   Resources & Mentions: Favorite Grab-and-Go Ideas: Egg muffin cups, energy bites, trail mix, string cheese Books & Tools on Habit Stacking: Atomic Habits by James Clear   Actionable Steps for Listeners: Start With Breakfast – Don't skip it. Pair a carb with a protein to set your energy up for success. Use the Plate Method – At every meal, aim for ⅓ carbs, ⅓ protein, ⅓ veggies, plus a splash of healthy fat and fruit. Plan Lightly – Spend 30 minutes on the weekend making energy bites or protein-rich muffins to last you all week. Surround the Treat – If your kid wants waffle fries, pair it with a grilled sandwich and fruit. Balance is key. Habit Stack for Success – Add a snack or hydration routine to something you already do (like packing your gym bag). Stay Hydrated – Especially for athletes, hydration is as crucial as food. Set phone alarms if needed.   Final Thought: Nutrition doesn't have to be perfect—it just needs to be consistent and realistic. Amy reminds us that fueling your body well is not about restriction, it's about strategy. Whether you're on the court, at the office, or in the stands, when you plan just a little, you gain a lot of energy, focus, and confidence. Small habits repeated daily lead to big wins.   What listeners have to say: “Her energy is fire! I love being able to apply her simple strategies and life tips to my daily life to be energized instead of existing.”   Loved this episode?

Once again, the sweethearts manage to gab for an hour! I wish I were better at writing descriptions.

Which Chocolate Chip Protein Bar is best?  We like to remain humble but we need to get something out of the way that cannot be denied, Nick and John are a couple of swole beef-cakes.  Due to this, we've had plenty of protein bars over the years, but usually just pick something random based on price.  This week we will try 4 chocolate chip flavored protein bars to finally get a read on which brands are worth looking for. The contenders are Barbell, Gatorade, MetRx and Quest.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at nickandjohnpodcast@gmail.com.      SPOILER!  Below is a list of which beer corresponds to which numbered cup it was in: 1. Barbell 2. Gatorade 3. Quest  4. MetRx

Ferrero Group recently announced it had signed an agreement to acquire Power Crunch. But why would the one of the world's largest sweet-packaged food companies acquire Power Crunch? Ferrero Group is no different than other multinational confectionary giants from Hershey's to Mondelez and Mars, as involvement within the bar format of convenient nutrition is not abnormal (whether entering through M&A activity or brand extension development). In fact, Power Crunch isn't even the first deal by Ferrero Group that involved a brand selling nutritional (and/or protein) bars…as they bought the brand Eat Natural in late-2020 and FULFIL Nutrition in mid-2022. And while this Power Crunch deal signals to me that Ferrero Group wants to own substantial market share within the wellbeing snacking space…don't just take my word for it. In the press release, both Kevin Lawrence (Power Crunch founder) and Ferrero Group leadership included quotes that referenced ambitions around wellbeing snacking categorical growth…focusing on quality craftsmanship, distinctive products, and thoughtful investment. And maybe that's really why Ferrero Group targeted Power Crunch. The protein bar market (like the entire supplement industry) has mostly a “sea of sameness” composition. But where the protein bar (or functional foods space in general) varies is that differentiation can be derived from having a unique form factor. Furthermore, if that unique form factor proves popular…a competitive advantage can be created through defensibility if you own/created that manufacturing process. And as part of the transaction, Ferrero Group will take over a California facility and absorb approximately 50 employees…with my assumption being that these were key operational assets (and human capital). But while the form factor of Power Crunch is unique it's not 100% proprietary (with an increase of crème-filled wafer crisp style competitors lately). But in a contract manufacturing “follow the leader” dominated category like protein bars you'd expect to see many more competitors. Additionally, when a billion-dollar active nutrition brand like Optimum Nutrition tries (and fails) within a short timeframe to make a similar wafer style form factor successful…it likely tells you (1) the production difficulty level and (2) consumers believe the superior taste and texture of Power Crunch creates a high enough switching cost to sustain its market share. But while financial details of the M&A transaction were not disclosed, some rough “napkin math,” Power Crunch is about one-third the size of Quest Nutrition and about the same size as FitCrunch that was just acquired by 1440 Foods. And while those transaction details were also not made public, I'd estimate the FitCrunch valuation to be slightly higher because of the stronger growth rates and larger manufacturing facilities…partially offset by the fact that private equity was involved (compared to Ferrero Group being a strategic). But then finally, Power Crunch is about seven times larger than the U.S. market size of the other Ferrero Group protein bar brand FULFIL…though the bulk of their historical revenue has been generated in the UK/Europe and I believe the brand has massive upside in the coming years. But in my latest first principles thinking content, I'll also consider what could be next for Power Crunch, as Ferrero Group will be faced with a depth or breadth strategic decision.

According to Will Nitze, founder and CEO of IQBAR, success in a competitive market requires finding its uncompetitive niches. He did that with his flagship protein bar, which is plant-based, low-sugar, and plainly labeled. That was seven years ago when he launched the company with a $75,000 Kickstarter campaign.Fast forward to 2025, and IQBAR also makes IQMIX (hydration) and IQJOE (coffee). All promote brain health without competing against each other.Will shares his journey in this episode — from his initial capital raise to scaling revenue, adding products, and managing wholesale channels.

Quest Nutrition might possess much more revenue diversification compared to when it was acquired more than five years ago, but that doesn't mean the Quest Bar has become any less of an important piece of the brand's multibillion-dollar growth puzzle today. In this latest episode, I'll utilize the Q1 2025 Simply Good Foods Company (NASDAQ: SMPL) earnings report, earnings call, and supplemental presentations that were filed on 1/8/2025 as the backdrop to provide broad nutritional snacking market insights. In fiscal Q1 2025, Atkins Nutritionals brand dragged down the overall portfolio performance, as Quest Nutrition beat categorical competitors in tracked channel retail takeaway (up 10% YoY). What's at the heart of the Quest Nutrition success? Quest Nutrition is still known for the original Quest Bar. And that means the company needs the bar business to be healthy for any of this innovation risk to make sense. But while Quest bar has positive growth, recent performance is lagging internal expectations a new protein bar innovation should launch in February called Quest Overload. Additionally, Quest Nutrition has proven it's one of the few brands that can successfully extend across multiple product forms...and its customer base expects them to come into an indulgent snacking category and flip it into great tasting (high protein, low sugar) offerings. The snacks segment of Quest Nutrition, which now accounts for almost half of all retail sales, saw retail takeaway growth increase 19%. But if we analyze one layer deeper…the salty side of the Quest snacks segment had quarterly retail takeaway growth of about 26%. Quest chips now represent about 25% of the total Quest Nutrition revenue and provide a substantial share of new users to the brand. And I've been a broken record when it comes to stating that salty snacks are where the excitement (and focus) should be placed within Quest Nutrition, but it's important to remember that any of this innovation risk only makes sense if the bar business continues to be healthy. So, while it was a higher proportion in 2019…the bar segment still accounts for about half of the total Quest Nutrition revenue. And that's why Quest Nutrition hasn't shied away from innovation (or renovation) activities over the recent years…from enrobed variants, mini sizes, revamping formulations, and now launching the “overload” bar platform. Also, I run through what's causing the weak brand performance at Atkins and explain actions the company is taking to change it…especially against the backdrop of GLP-1 weight loss solutions. In my opinion, you're going to see weight management brands like Atkins (and others) get repositioned on the right side of GLP-1 second-order effects through both product innovation (e.g. Atkins strong)...but most of the “innovation” will come in the targeted communication marketing strategies. Finally, OWYN had quarterly retail takeaway growth of 67% YoY. Based on revenue growth models, Simply Good Foods leadership expects OWYN fiscal 2025 net sales to be in the $135 million to $145 million range.

With M&A transactions getting louder, it can only mean one thing…protein bar brands are starting to party like it's 2019 again! In my April 2024 content, I stated for that "party to restart" the protein bar market needed increased deal announcements. And maybe not so surprisingly…it only took less than four months before a deal announcement included a protein bar brand that was included on my list. That's because in early-August, international private equity firm Cinven announced that it had reached an agreement to become the lead investor in Vitamin Well Group, valuing the brand portfolio that includes Barebell protein bars at around $2.2 billion. But what sparked the inspiration for this content…was that about two weeks ago, another deal announcement included a protein bar brand from that list of attractive potential M&A targets. This time it was 1440 Foods acquiring FITCRUNCH, a protein bar brand that was co-founded a dozen years ago by celebrity chef Robert Irvine (and the contract manufacturer Bakery Barn). And the acquisition of FITCRUNCH by 1440 Foods makes perfect logical sense especially if your deep domain expertise includes the protein bar market. And that's because you'd understand that the protein bar market (like the entire supplement industry) has mostly a “sea of sameness” composition. But where the protein bar (or functional foods space in general) varies is that differentiation can be derived from having a unique form factor. Furthermore, if that unique form factor proves popular…a competitive advantage can be created through defensibility if you own/created that manufacturing process. This is the story of FITCRUNCH…because if you remember what I said earlier, it was co-founded by the contract manufacturer Bakery Barn. So, as you likely realize…not only did 1440 Foods acquire FUTCRUNCH, but also vertical integration assets with Bakery Barn. This is super helpful across a number of strategic areas from financial to operational…as the core FITCRUNCH product being a multilayered baked process is much more complex than the typical extrusion or slab bars on the market. Additionally, while the financial details of this transaction were private…Bakery Barn customer concentration likely kept the EBIDTA multiple lower than typical contract manufacturing deals in the protein bar space. But beyond extracting value from the product complexity (uniqueness) and Bakery Barn vertical integration aspect, 1440 Foods acquired FITCRUNCH because its highly complementary to the existing brand portfolio of Pure Protein, MET-Rx, and Body Fortress. Additionally, this deepens the 1440 Foods concentration into the active nutrition sub-segment of convenient nutrition bars that has shown strong growth of late compared to the general grocery category. But my latest first principles thinking content will examine the near-term outlook 1440 Foods…and if the convenient nutrition brand portfolio is pointed towards an eventual IPO.

After 1 year, a lot has changed for Protein Bar & Kitchen. Several new franchisees in the pipeline, non-traditional locations sprouting up across the country and suburban locations humming. What is inside this first-time franchisor rapid rise? Tune into this episode to hear from the sources, CEO Jeff Drake and VP of Franchise Development Jimmy McFeeters, on exactly how!

I've been fortunate enough to realize that my brain is hardwired to see consumer behaviors shifts early, model out those “drivers of demand,” understand what variables are moving categorical consumer markets, and match those up into actionable patterns and sequences with insane accuracy. If you haven't picked up on it yet, my content creation acts as a sort of kaleidoscope-like artistic expression of that ability…providing underlying support for my conviction around non-consensus market-moving consumer trends. But there's also another side of that…one that A LOT fewer people get to experience because of the inherent nature involving my strategic management consulting projects. Yet, this particular episode of conversational content required crossover into that other side. And that's because well before Ryan Ankrom co-founded Anabar (one of the fastest-growing protein bars on the market), he got deeply intertwined to an early strategic management consulting project that was within my “build turnkey supplement brands for clients” era. But as you'll hear throughout our conversation, all those experiences (and people met along the way) would become an important “butterfly effect” that led us both to where we are right now. Beyond that, Ryan and I will dive into several key strategic areas involving the last three years of building (and scaling) Anabar…including the brand's embrace of a derogatory categorical claim and it's Day 1 profit mindset that's stayed consistent even with sales channel expansion. But this was definitely a different (but in a good way) type of conversation filled with many more interesting business topics...so I hope you enjoy.

Send us a textIntroduction of the Episode: Welcome to another insightful episode of the Inflamed in the Brain podcast! In this SNACK episode, host and registered dietitian Krissy dives into the world of protein bars, revealing how to select options that support your health goals without causing unnecessary harm. With so many protein bars on the market, it's crucial to understand which ones can serve as a healthy snack and which ones can be just as detrimental as a candy bar. Krissy breaks down key ingredients to avoid and highlights the best choices for maintaining a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet.Key Points Covered:Why Choosing the Right Protein Bar Matters:Protein bars can either be a healthy snack or a sugary treat in disguise. Understanding their ingredient composition is essential for those looking to manage inflammation and maintain stable energy levels throughout the day.Ingredients to Watch Out For:Added Sugars: Avoid hidden sugars like high fructose corn syrup, glucose syrup, and sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) that can spike blood sugar levels and contribute to inflammation. Krissy advises listeners to pay close attention to how high these ingredients appear on the list—those that are listed near the top are present in larger quantities.Artificial Sweeteners: Sweeteners like sucralose, aspartame, and saccharin may reduce calories but can negatively affect gut health and lead to increased sugar cravings.Hydrogenated Oils: Trans fats found in hydrogenated oils or palm oil are inflammatory. It's crucial to avoid protein bars containing partially hydrogenated oils or vague "vegetable oil blends."Preservatives: Chemical preservatives such as BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) and TBHQ (Tertiary Butylhydroquinone) extend shelf life but can be inflammatory.Artificial Flavors and Colors: These can trigger sensitivities and contribute to inflammation. Opt for bars with natural flavors and simple ingredient lists.Low-Quality Protein Sources: Bars with soy protein isolate or wheat protein may not provide optimal benefits for muscle repair and could provoke sensitivities in some individuals.Ingredients to Look For:High-Quality Protein: Choose bars containing protein from whole-food sources like grass-fed whey, egg whites, or pea protein for better digestion and lower inflammation risk.Healthy Fats: Look for bars that include natural fats such as nuts, seeds, or coconut oil for lasting energy and fullness.Natural Sweeteners: Favor bars sweetened with dates, honey, maple syrup, or stevia for a healthier sweetness that won't cause drastic blood sugar spikes.Fiber: A quality protein bar should contain fiber from sources like chia seeds, flax seeds, or oats, aiding digestion and blood sugar stability.Minimal Ingredients: Aim for bars with a short list of recognizable ingredients (nuts, seeds, whole grains), as they are often better for reducing inflammation.Outro:Now that you know what to look for in protein bars, you're equipped to make healthier choices the next time you shop. Read through the ingredient lists, experiment with different bars, and discover what works best for you.

If you are looking for a quick and easy way to boost your protein intake, you might have considered eating a protein bar. They are convenient, come in various flavors and claim to provide you with the essential amino acids your body needs, often attracting people who want to lose weight, build muscle, or simply snack healthily. And, according to a BBC article, the market is booming. A report by Mintel says that the UK market for sports nutrition products grew by 26% between 2015 and 2020, reaching £494 millions. Protein bars accounted for 30% of this market, with sales increasing by 14% in 2020 alone. What are the advantages of eating protein bars? Do you really need more protein?

In this episode Coaches Caileen and Ryan discuss the importance of protein. They explore various grab-and-go protein sources, share tips for maintaining protein intake while traveling, and emphasize the need to ask for protein options at restaurants. The episode is filled with practical advice for listeners looking to optimize their protein consumption.Takeaways Protein is essential for all fitness goals. Canned chicken is a convenient protein source. Traveling doesn't have to derail your protein intake. Protein bars can be misleading; check the macros. Don't hesitate to ask restaurants for protein options. String cheese is a great portable snack. Cottage cheese is a fantastic source of casein protein. Protein drinks can be a last resort, not a primary source. Always have backup protein options when traveling. You can find protein sources almost anywhere.  Chapters00:00 - Introduction and Banter01:12 - The Importance of Protein10:57 - Grab-and-Go Protein Sources15:08 - Traveling and Protein Challenges22:05 - Creative Protein Solutions29:00 - Protein at the Lake36:08 - Protein Drinks and Supplements44:04 - Asking for Protein at Restaurants

I chose Burst Creatine gummies because as a busy producer working on this show — as well as TV commercials and original content for my clients, creatine power is messy and hard to travel with. Leave dry scooping to the meatheads, it messes up your gut health anyway. Burst creatine gummies aren't made in some factory in China where your creatine is getting mixed with who knows how many other powders or medications they have being made there. Burst is made locally in the United States and has exactly 1.5 grams of creatine per gummy. I take 3 on my way out the door to the gym to get improved brain function, build muscle and speed up my recovery. They taste pretty good too. And since I can't have a lot of sugar or chemical dyes, they are made with natural ingredients that fit my protocol so that I can perform at my highest level. Support the show

Because I cut my teeth in what most call the “Barnum & Baily Circus” side of ingestible CPG (aka the sports nutrition niche of the supplement industry), I'm very used to founders making “big things coming” proclamations. But that being said, I'm struggling to remember the last time I've felt this much pre-launch wonder/intrigue around a functional CPG product…with many competitors, retailers, and industry colleagues, reaching out to get my thoughts on David protein bars. Some of this could be attributed to that half-year “hype cycle” leaving many to wonder about the product details, but also that this is the categorical “second act” for Peter Rahal…who previously founded RXBAR, that exited to Kellogg's in less than five years for $600 million in 2017. But beyond talking through some of the most interesting moments of that RXBAR wild ride, Peter and I discuss some of the strategic lessons from that successful first “protein bar venture” that became iterative direct applications within the conceptualization of David. Moreover, we talk through how watching the protein bar market staleness of the last handful of years helped reignite that entrepreneurial spark (after trying his hand at being a venture capitalist). Also, Peter and I cover the new strategic approach at David…including which “drivers of demand” are most important, the remix inspiration for its visual identity, and the brand's bold long-term strategic narrative. But these are just some of the interesting topics we chatted about in this episode...

Matt Matros built Protein Bar from a single smoothie shop into a fast-growing chain. In 2012, private equity firm L Catterton came knocking with a deal valuing his company at $44 million. Matt decided to roll 40% of his equity, expecting it to grow even more.

Do you use protein powders and bars to get protein in your diet? Unfortunately, some of the ingredients in these products can negatively affect your bones and overall health. Protein is crucial for maintaining strong bones and overall health, but choosing the wrong products can do more harm than good.   In this episode, I sit down with Mira Dessy, The Ingredient Guru, to uncover dangers lurking in popular protein products. Discover the hidden ingredients to avoid and learn how to protect your bones and boost your health with the right protein products.   Are you ready to make healthier choices? Learn how to make informed decisions for better health in today's Happy Bones, Happy Life podcast episode! Your bones will thank you!   “I think the biggest problem for so many people is that they want to go to a Walmart or another store like that and buy the biggest cheapest container that they can, and they do not realize that there's probably a lot of starchy stuff in there, like tapioca starch or rice starch and things like that, as fillers, and that's not great. It's really better to spend the money and get a good quality clean protein and make sure that you're nourishing your body well.” - Mira Dessy In this episode: - [02:33] - Allergens in protein bars and powders - [12:01] - Products containing allulose - [14:30] - Challenges in getting accurate product info - [18:35] - Hormones and antibiotics in dairy - [22:40] - Reliable amino acid sources - [25:57] - Importance of protein for health - [27:48] - Balancing your protein needs - [29:09] - Getting protein during tough times - [32:58] - Emergency preparedness courses - [34:36] - How Mira can help you take control of your health   Resources mentioned - Mira's Preparedness Pantry Masterclass - https://tinyurl.com/myhealthypantry - Mira's website - https://theingredientguru.com - Discounted supplements through Fullscript - https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/mbissinger - Margie's favorite protein supplement - Perfect Amino ™ by BodyHealth.

Today, I'm going to compare the ingredients of popular protein bars, but first, let's compare a Snickers bar to a protein bar! A 50-gram Snickers bar contains 30 grams of carbs and is about 58% sugar. CLIF Builder's protein bars are 68 grams and are about 41% sugar, with the same number of carbohydrates as Snickers. The extra carbs in the CLIF bar come from starches that quickly turn into sugar in the blood. CLIF Builder's bars contain 20 grams of protein but in the form of soy protein concentrate, a low-quality protein. Like most protein bars, they're also full of ultra-processed ingredients. CLIF energy bars are 68 grams and 55.88% sugar. Despite their name, they will not give you sustainable energy, just a tiny spike followed by a crash. KIND bars make several claims, such as “#1 ingredient=heart healthy peanuts," “low glycemic index,” “dairy-free,” and “non-GMO.” They contain glucose syrup, which is not a low-glycemic-index ingredient, along with sugar, honey, palm oil, soy protein isolate, and chicory root fiber. Quest birthday cake bars contain 9 grams of sugar alcohol, which can lead to GI problems like gas, bloating, and diarrhea. They're 41% sugar and also contain polydextrose, which hasn't been studied much in humans. Pure Protein bars claim to have only 2 grams of sugar, but they contain 17 grams of carbohydrates and only 1 gram of fiber. These bars contain 14 grams of starches, equivalent to 4 more teaspoons of sugar! The ONE protein bar is a 60-gram product containing 20 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar, but it has 25 grams of carbs from starches and cellulose, which is essentially sawdust. It also contains maltitol, an ingredient you'll want to avoid. The MET-Rx meal replacement bar contains 48 grams of carbohydrates and ingredients such as rice starch, maltitol syrup, corn syrup, fructose, and soy protein isolate. Next, let's look at the ingredients of an A.M. RXBAR. They contain 10 grams of protein, oats, cashews, egg whites, and honey. However, the front label is misleading because these bars contain several other ingredients, 52% of which are sugar.
