Our take
“We love a bar with an ingredient list you could read out loud without stumbling, and Neobar's are about seven items long. The dates do all the sweetening, so these taste rich rather than sweet, and the protein ones hold you over in a way a fruit bar usually does not. Cranberry and Cashew is where we'd start, and the Banana and Peanut is the one to pack for a kid, as long as peanuts are fine in your house.”

Neobar FAQ
Straight answers to what our community asks most.
Are Neobar bars gluten free?
Yes. Our bars contain no wheat, oats or barley. The protein bars are built on dates, nuts and rice protein, and two of our fruit and nut bars use chickpea flour rather than any grain flour. We are not certified gluten free through a third-party program, so if you have celiac disease and want more detail about how our bars are made, get in touch and we will walk you through it.
What allergens are in your bars?
Nuts, in almost every bar. Our Cranberry & Cashew contains cashews and hazelnut oil. Hazelnut & Cacao and Cherry & Cacao both contain hazelnuts. Peanut & Chocolate contains both peanuts and hazelnut oil. Banana & Peanut contains peanuts and no tree nuts. Every bar carries a may contain nutshell fragments warning. None of our bars contain dairy, eggs or soy.
What makes them sweet if there is no sugar added?
Dates, mostly. Our protein bars are sweetened with dates and date juice, and the fruit and nut bars with dates and dried fruit. There is no white sugar, cane sugar or corn syrup in any of them, and no artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols either. A bar has 14 to 18 grams of total sugars and all of it comes from the fruit.
Are they vegan?
Every bar is. No dairy, no whey, no honey, no gelatin. The protein comes from rice protein and from the nuts themselves rather than from anything animal-derived, which is unusual in a bar with nine or ten grams in it.
How long do they keep?
About twelve months from packing, and they need no refrigeration. There are no preservatives in them, which surprises people. What keeps them stable is the dates and the low moisture, not an additive.
