Product Information

Calories: this bar has 200 calories (200-220). This amount is average compared to other protein bars on the market. RXBars boast “simple ingredients” such as nuts and dried fruit, but they also contain unnecessary additives like natural flavorings, which are often chemically derived. As Chicago-based nutritionist Laurel Jakubowski, RD, LDN, says, “Just because something is labeled ‘natural’ doesn’t mean it’s good for you. In fact, natural flavorings can be just as risky harmful as artificial ones.” 2. Excess sugar Sea Salt) provides 270 mg of sodium while the JERF Bar only provides 35 mg. Remember, from above Chocolate Sea Salt, has the most sodium of any RXBar version. Other versions have less sodium. To me, this sounds like the natural flavors are indeed natural and are based on foods. At this time, I don't see any issues here. Are They Good Cold? For those who may be on long treks in hot weather, keeping them cold may be an option, but for the rest of us, I would not recommend it if you plan on eating them soon. What About Allergies?

I mentioned this in my JERF Bar review also. I know it has some potassium but exactly how much I cannot say at this time. I'm sure that eventually, potassium will be listed. In the bowl of your food processor with S blade, process cashews, walnuts and egg white protein until nuts have broken down into small pieces. Whether or not the same issue would occur with the other varieties or RXBar, I cannot say. Buying RXBars?

The Vitamins and Minerals Each RXBAR contains between 1 and 2 grams of saturated fat—much less than you’d find in your typical candy bar. Eating too much saturated fat drastically increases your risk of high cholesterol, which in turn can have a negative impact on blood flow and oxygen transportation throughout the body. The American Heart Association recommends that no more than 6% of your daily calories come from saturated fat. For a 2,000-calories-a-day diet, that translates to a limit of 13 grams of saturated fat each day. While each variety has slightly different nutrition facts, none stray too far from these numbers. Right off the bat, there are two things I love about the nutrition of RXBARs—they’re high in fiber and they’re high in protein. While a high-fiber and high-protein content is a hallmark of many nutritious foods, they’re especially advantageous in nutrition bars.Kellogg’s is axing its RX Bar business in the UK, just three years after it snapped up the protein bar brand for almost half a billion pounds, The Grocer can reveal.

The label for the RXBar lists percentages for vitamins A, C, Calcium, iron, riboflavin, magnesium, phosphorus, and copper. The JERF Bar only lists percentages for vitamins A, C, calcium, and iron.

For the person who works out a lot, this may not matter much. For the person who is supposed to be on a low salt diet or trying to lower their blood pressure, this may be something to consider.

It won’t take much because the peanuts are already fairly small. Can you eat RXBars cold? Yes, but the texture will likely be too hard to chew for most people. When I put the Chocolate Sea Salt flavor in the freezer, it was frozen solid. It was still too hard to bite into when I transferred it to the refrigerator overnight. The FDA has not established a formal definition for “natural,” but its policy states: “The FDA has considered the term 'natural' to mean that nothing artificial or synthetic (including all color additives regardless of source) has been included in, or has been added to, a food that would not normally be expected to be in that food.” It's important to know that the term 'natural' is not synonymous with "USDA Certified Organic," a regulated label with established criteria.
