WHY ARE RAWR BARS DIFFERENT THAN OTHER (VEGAN) PROTEIN BARS?
-
Higher protein
-
Lower in sugar & carbs
-
No fortified or processed soluble fibers
-
No brown rice syrup, agave or honey
1. Higher protein:
The Rawr Bar is one of the 1st vegan protein bars on the market to have 20g of protein. Your average vegan protein bar has anywhere from 8g-15g protein.
2. Lower in carbs:
Generally speaking Vegan protein bars are higher in carbs because it can be hard to cover the taste and texture of plant proteins. Most vegan bars range from 23g carbs up to 50g carbs a bar! It's very hard to find a vegan protein bar lower than 20g carbs.
3. No fortified or processed soluble fiber sources.
Many protein bars use ingredients these days such as corn fiber, isomaltooligosaccharides (IMO), tapioca fiber or chicory root fiber. These forms of fiber are processed at high heat and are not recognized by the intestines as true fiber. They are also used as a secondary form of sweetener for protein bars.
To the body, these fiber sources are seen as a foreign object, they are not digested, but rather pass through the body. They can cause bloating, gas and constipation; which are the side effects we had experienced. Many companies use these types of fiber sources to be able to state on their labels that they have extremely low carbs or to speak to how high their fiber content is. Take for example a bar has 17g carbs with 15g of corn fiber. the total Fiber can be subtracted from total carbs to give you net carbs of 2g. The net carbs are the amount of carbs your body actually digests as a sugar.
Finding a good protein bar without these fiber sources was very difficult for us, unless the carbs were sky high. This was one of our largest pain points that led us to begin creating bars in our own kitchen.
4. We don't use brown rice syrup, agave or honey:
We use raw coconut nectar which comes from the blossoms of coconut. It is not processed under heat and has a lightly sweet, but slight mineral taste. It is high in trace minerals.
Brown rice syrup is received by the body the same way corn syrup is. Don't let the words "brown rice" fool you into thinking it is healthy. Agave nectar has been getting a bad rep recently because it has the highest fructose content of any commercial sweetener on the market. Honey in it’s raw form is seen as lower glycemic and nutrient dense, but the honey used in protein bars is not commonly raw, which means it is processed under high heat and may spike your blood sugar levels.
*Also, We do NOT use any Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Soy, Food Coloring/Additives, Preservatives, Sucralose, Stevia or sugar alcohols.
ARE RAWR BARS A MEAL REPLACEMENT?
The Rawr Bar can certainly pass as a meal replacement or a filling snack on the run. Many customers eat their bar as a breakfast on the go or a pre or post workout sack! The high protein and the healthy fats in the bar will hold you over and stabilize you.
ARE THEY VEGETARIAN/VEGAN?
Yes and yes.
WHY VEGAN?
We chose to make a vegan bar due to the primary factor that protein bars using whey protein were upsetting our stomachs. We decided to go dairy free, egg free, GF and so on, in hopes to avoid any food allergy or irritant one might have. We know the difficulty of finding a yummy bar that can work with a sensitive body.
ARE YOUR PRODUCTS ORGANIC?
Our peanut butter based bars and cashew butter based bars are 99-100% organic ingredients. The almond butter based bars are 70% organics. We’re on the lookout for an organic almond butter that doesn’t make us significantly raise the price of the bars for our customers.
ARE YOU CERTIFIED GF, VEGAN, ORGANIC, NON-GMO, SOY FREE ETC?
We are in process of growing our sales and name a bit before we undergo this extensive process. Our desire would to begin to undergo getting these certifications in the year 2021. All our ingredients are sourced from companies that are certified GF, Vegan, Soy Free as well as Non-Gmo.
ARE YOUR BARS KETO OR PALEO FRIENDLY?
Typically yes!
KETO:
Our bars are naturally lower in carbs. They are 14-16g total carbs with 3-4 grams of fiber (coming from organic ground flax seed) for a total of 11- 13g net carbs.
Many eating Keto or Paleo diet can be found to eat differently. Our bars are low carb enough to fit Keto carb requirements, but ultimately it is up you on how much you are restricting your carbs in your daily intake.
PALEO:
Our Almond Butter based bars and sunflower seed bars are Paleo approved, Peanut Butter is not considered Paleo, due to it containing peanuts (a legume). Some on a stricter Paleo diet will also not consume pea protein, in that case, Rawr Bars would not fit that form of a Paleo diet.
WHERE ARE YOUR PRODUCTS MADE?
Our bars are made in our certified manufacturing facility in Rogers, MN
ARE YOUR PRODUCTS SOY-FREE, EGG-FREE, DAIRY-FREE, GLUTEN-FREE, NON-GMO?
Yes to all of the above.
YOUR PRODUCT INCLUDES COCONUT. IS IT SAFE FOR PEOPLE WITH TREE NUT ALLERGIES?
The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) states: “Coconut is not a botanical nut; it is classified as a fruit, even though the Food and Drug Administration recognizes coconut as a tree nut. While allergic reactions to coconut have been documented, most people who are allergic to tree nuts can safely eat coconut. If you are allergic to tree nuts, talk to your allergist before adding coconut to your diet."
DO YOU HAVE ANY NUT FREE PROTEIN BARS?
We launched the Dark Chocolate + Raspberry bar February 2019. This bar is made from Sunflower Seed Butter and has no nuts in it; however it is PROCESSED on the same equipment of our other bars that DO contain nuts.
WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF YOUR PRODUCT?
Per our food scientist, Rawr Bars last 1 month out of the fridge, 6 months in the fridge and 12 months in the freezer. We recommend to store them in the fridge when home, but they are fine out and about!
WILL YOUR BARS FREEZE OR MELT?
If placed in the freezer, Rawr Bars will become firmer, but not freeze. There is a chocolate coating on top of most our bars, so in heat, the bar does get melty. We’ve traveled overseas with them in 100 degree heat. If the bars melt just toss them back in the fridge to re-firm up and they should be fine.
*For best freshness store your Rawr bars in the fridge!
WHY DO YOU RECOMMEND TO STORE IN THE FRIDGE?
Rawr Bars use only the freshest ingredients. We use real nut and seed butters (most are organic and some are raw) that preserve best cold and we do not use fillers or binders. Many of our bars have a thin dark chocolate coating that can be more susceptible to melting in heat.
