The YES Bar, a gluten-free, plant-based snack, has gained attention for not spiking blood glucose levels like a lot of quick packaged snack bars. An individual in the study will be provided with a mix of 6 different flavors of Yes Bar (all with generally the same ingredients and nutritional macros) and asked to conduct four individual experiments (with optional up to 6) in which they will test their blood glucose initially after fasting for two hours. Then at 15 to 30 minute intervals over the following two hours.
