I tried a bunch of these because a. the packaging is great, and b. my office stocks them. I desperately wanted to like them, but they're really not that good. The ingredients are good but the macros are nothing special, and they are just so hard to eat. The consistency is terrible and it feels like the only health benefit you get is the workout you're giving your jaw, whilst trying to swallow it down.



My take on RxBars: "glue has never tasted this good." They are an OK snack, but - as you say - I feel like I need to brush my teeth immediately after I'm done eating one.


Hear, hear. The packaging enticed my GF, so she bought a couple to try. I wanted to like it because I liked premise of showing the ingredients right in the front. But boy oh boy was it hard to chew, and taste was nothing worthwhile.

RXBars have great packaging and marketing, but the bars are meh at best from my experience.


Did you buy them off Amazon? I find that RXBars from Amazon have typically been sitting in a warehouse for many months at a time and are often stale.

Every bar I've bought in-person at a traditional grocery store has been significantly fresher and has a much nicer consistency.


I really liked the chocolate sea salt ones. The rest are kinda meh.


I was making my own energy bars with similar ingredients until these came along. Well worth the cost.
