Let customers speak for us
from 36 reviewsOur favorite bar by far! The texture & the flavor are terrific. This new choice is a fudge brownie dark chocolate creation with a middle of chocolate coated cacao nibs providing the perfect crunch. And I can feel that caffeine energy bump after enjoying it. Love that the bars are the same great size but now are Pre-Cut in to smaller pieces, easier to eat now when on the go. Hooray for the NEW Ready Bar!
I think the PB&J may be my favorite flavor. Love the new half size as well for a smaller snack when I don’t need a full meal.
I'm a coffee guy, We have tried all of your flavors and I think this is the best of your bars to date.
These are amazing. If you’re a coffee lover, the new Mocha Ready Bars are going to be your new favorite grab and go meal bar.
Nutritionally balanced, tasty, satisfying, and always ready to go, READYBAR is all fuel, no crash and belongs in my car, my pocket, my bag, my ski suit, my desk drawers, my emergency supplies, underneath my Christmas tree, in my stockings...
The Sea Salt PB&J bars I received are GREAT! Love the new half-size and thinner bars. Much easier to eat.
My expectations of ReadyBar have been met
This is my best box yet. The bars are so soft and flavorful. I love that they cut the bars now. PBJ is my favorite But i love the variety.
Wow. These are awesome. Tastes just like a PB&J, and provides fuel for peak performance.
This bar is unlike any other I’ve had. I have a busy work day. And many times I don’t have time for a proper lunch. This bar has been a great replacement in the middle of the day. I feel satisfied (hunger),I can tell I have more energy, and there is no sugar-y spike and decline. And the PB/J tastes like….PB/J !!! Highly recommend the Ready Bar.
Can't believe they fit so much health into a tasty and portable bar, wow!
As someone who struggles with severe anxiety, it is sometimes difficult for me to eat regularly. Not only do these bars taste good, but they are also well rounded nutritionally! I cannot express how nice it is to be able to have all the nutrition I need for a meal in just one bar. The ingredients also avoid elements that tend to ferment in my gut. I cannot recommend these enough! Thank you Readybar!
That was me, running on empty, with a packed schedule and no breakfast. Then I remembered the READYBAR I had tossed in my bag. It was my first time trying READYBAR and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted for a protein-packed bar! It gave me the steady energy I needed to power through the day and was just filling enough without weighing me down. Best of all, it didn't leave me bloated or gassy like some bars can!
I gave one to my friend traveling with me (she's on GLP-1 meds). She tried it and loved it too. (Of course, check with your doctor first if you're on medications like that). We had the chocolate peanut caramel one.
READYBAR is now a permanent resident in my everyday bag. I'm ordering more to stash in my bug-out bag too! It's perfect for travel, emergency snacks, and those "no time to cook" days.
I'm a big fan!!!
It was perfect. Tastes just like a PB&J. I had this bar for breakfast and it kept me feeling full until lunch.
I want to present a careful and fair review of ReadyBar. My experience is based on five long-ish bicycle rides, four fueled by ReadyBar and one fueled by a typical sandwich lunch. I ride with the Grizzly Peak Cycling club, which has more than 900 members and sponsors multiple rides in the Bay Area each day of the week. Serious riding, although the club’s motto is “Ride to eat, eat to ride.”
Ride One
A 35-mile ride to the top of Mt. Tamalpais, towering over the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin County ridgelines. Starting in Mill Valley, California, the ride quickly climbs and climbs and climbs up the mountain. We stopped for lunch at the halfway point, 20 miles up. I ate one ReadyBar and drank water. That’s it for nutrition. No “energy bars”, goo packs, or other calorie blasters. After the descent from the mountain top to Alpine Lake, the route presents a long, exposed climb up the slopes of the watershed. I felt fine on this difficult stretch, and on the twelve miles back to the starting point, culminated by one last climb. No bonking.

35 miles
Vertical climb: 3,270 feet
Calories burned: 1,900
Ride Two
Another Marin County ride, from Petaluma to Tomales, then back via Chileno Valley. A beautiful ride with numerous climbs, descents, and rolling West Marin hills. Again, lunch was at the halfway point, 21miles in. I ate one ReadyBar and water. The ride is scenically lovely, but geographically challenging. It’s hard work. But I felt good. No stuffed feeling, no post-lunch bloating or lethargy. And no sugar crash 15 minutes later, like a goo pack. Lots of energy on the fast ride back.
3:10 riding time
43 miles
Vertical climb: 2,500 feet
Calories burned: 2,139
Ride Three
This ride was along the excellent Bay Trail system on the East Bay side of the SF Bay. Almost entirely flat. This time, lunch was at a deli in Point Richmond, CA, where I ate a sandwich with water. In contrast to the rides fueled by ReadyBar, I felt stuffed after lunch. I felt bloated and lethargic compared to the rides with ReadyBar. I was burping lunch fumes for miles after lunch, which didn’t happen with ReadyBar.
2:30 riding time
32 miles
Vertical climb: 237 feet (minimal)
Calories burned: 1,304
Ride Four
Across the Point Reyes peninsula to Drakes Beach and back. Several climbs and lots of up and down. At the half-way point I ate one ReadyBar and drank water. That’s it for nutrition. No “energy bars”, goo packs, or other calorie blasts. I felt great and set a blistering pace back.
3:30 riding time
41 miles
Vertical climb: 3,722
Calories burned: 2,195
Ride Five
From Lake Temescal up and over the top of the Oakland hills, down Redwood Canyon, then back up over the imposing Pinehurst Road climb. I ate one ReadyBar and drank water. That’s it. I felt fine on the long climbs back up to the ridgeline overlooking the Bay. When he made it to the top of the climb up Pinehurst, a riding companion said, “I want what you had for lunch.”
3:19 riding time

Summary
After a thorough trial-by-fire, my take is that ReadyBar gives me “good clean energy.” The bars taste good, and their dense texture feels substantial without being too filling. In contrast to a typical sandwich lunch, ReadyBar does not give you a stuffed feeling, with no post-lunch bloating or lethargy. And no sugar crashes after 15 minutes, like goo packs or “energy bars”. The bars are sturdily packaged and compact enough for a jersey pocket. ReadyBar is now my go-to nutrition choice for high energy 3+ hour work-outs like distance bike rides.
FAQs
What is READYBAR, and who is it for?
READYBAR is a low-sugar meal bar designed to replace a full meal when you don’t have time to eat. It’s for busy doers who want real nutrition, sustained energy, and no sugar crash.

READYBAR is intentionally designed to function as a complete, satisfying meal, not a light snack. Each bar is 500 calories, which is the amount needed to function as a complete meal replacement. This calorie level supports fullness, steady energy, and performance without overeating.

READYBAR is low-sugar to prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes. Lower sugar supports stable energy, better focus, fewer cravings, and longer-lasting fullness throughout the day.

Is READYBAR gluten free?
Yes. READYBAR is made with certified gluten-free oats and contains no gluten ingredients.
