When to Choose Garden of Life Sport Organic Protein Bar Peanut Butter Chocolate

Certified-organic athletes who need NSF for Sport verification in a protein bar

Garden of Life Sport is the most heavily certified protein bar in this comparison — NSF for Sport, USDA Organic, and Non-GMO Verified. The 20g organic plant protein is impressive for a certified bar. Texture is denser than whey-based competitors, which is typical of plant protein bars.

Strengths

  • Triple certified: NSF Certified for Sport, USDA Organic, and Non-GMO Project Verified
  • 20g organic plant protein per bar — highest among certified organic options
  • Trusted brand with pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing standards

Limitations

  • Dense, chewy texture typical of organic plant protein bars
  • ~6g sugar per bar is moderate — not the lowest available
  • Collection-level product page makes finding specific flavors difficult online

When to Choose RXBAR Chocolate Sea Salt

Whole-food advocates who want the simplest possible ingredient list with real food only

RXBAR pioneered the "No B.S." movement in protein bars — every ingredient is listed on the front of the package. Egg whites, dates, nuts. That's basically it. The trade-off is 12g sugar from dates and modest 12g protein. For whole-food purists, the simplicity is unmatched.

Strengths

  • Famously minimal ingredient list (6-8 items) printed right on the front of the package
  • Egg white protein provides excellent bioavailability with complete amino acid profile
  • Zero artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, or processed additives of any kind

Limitations

  • 12g sugar per bar from dates — natural source but highest sugar in this comparison
  • Only 12g protein per bar is on the lower end for a protein bar
  • Date-based sweetness creates a dense, chewy texture that some find too heavy
