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

When to Choose Bulletproof Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Collagen Bar

Keto and biohacking enthusiasts who want MCT oil and collagen in a low-sugar bar

Bulletproof targets the keto-biohacking crowd with MCT oil, grass-fed collagen, and only 2g sugar. The stevia sweetening is natural but divisive. Like all collagen bars, the incomplete amino acid profile is a limitation. Best for those already in the Bulletproof ecosystem.

Strengths

  • Only 2g sugar per bar with grass-fed collagen and MCT oil for sustained energy
  • Stevia leaf extract is a natural sweetener — no artificial sweeteners used
  • Grass-fed collagen sourced from pasture-raised cattle

Limitations

  • Only 11g protein per bar — on the lower end for a protein bar
  • Stevia aftertaste can be polarizing for some consumers
  • Collagen provides incomplete amino acid profile without tryptophan
