* RXBAR is a whole food protein bar that I’ve been eating like crazy for the past few days. Why? Two reasons: They are healthy and delicious! I absolutely love these little treats. They’re made from 100% whole ingredients and RXBAR is totally transparent about their ingredients. They cut out all the additives, fillers, and chemicals found in so many other protein bars on the market and stick with the plain but tasty ingredients that make protein bars healthy and tasty. They’re gluten free, soy free, and dairy free. And there’s no added sugar. In fact the 3 core ingredients for all their bars are egg whites for protein, dates to bind, and nuts for the texture. And quite honestly, I think they’ve nailed the healthy & delicious combo to a tee. I just got finished mowing down their Chocolate Sea Salt bar and absolutely LOVED it! They’ve got 10 other flavors as well which are equally fantastic. I highly recommend you check these babies out. To get 25% off your first order visit RXBAR.com/Elite and enter the promo code “Elite” at checkout. Again that’s RXBAR.com/Elite and use the “Elite” promo code at checkout!
