This week, I am enjoying the Chocolatey Almond protein bar as a mental boost as i get ready to take on a day at work. As a Senior Leader in a Fortune 500 company, I am expected to show up present, active, with energy and enthusiasm. This bar combined with favorite Iced Macha in almond milk never lets me down!
Rich, chocolatey, and deliciously simple, this 4 ingredient bar includes chunks of whole almonds blended with carob powder, honey and a boost of pure whey protein isolate.

They are Soy Free, Non GMO, No Sugar Alcohols, Kosher, Grain Free, No Artifical Sweetners included. At Rise Bar, they focus on making the simplest protein bar with only clean, real ingredients to help fuel your workout, adventure or everyday lifestyle.
Rise Bar Founder and CEO Pete Spenuzza made the first simple bar in 2010 and the success of this simple, easily understandable protein bar is its real ingredients.
15-20g protein and 280 cal makes this a perfect breakfast and a day time boost or even a midday snack for school going children and as a pre or post workout option.
My personal favorites are the almond honey whey protein bar (3 simple ingredients) and all 3 of their pea protein options.
WHAT MAKES RISE BAR SPECIAL?
The foundation of every Rise Bar is a delicious nut butter taste and texture. We love almonds due to the presence of monounsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, antioxidants, and naturally-occurring protein. We also use sunflower seeds and cashews, which are both rich in minerals and amino acids. We prefer to avoid peanuts, which are full of anti-nutrients known as aflatoxins.
Honey has been used as a sweetener and a natural preservative over the last 8,000 years. It has been associated with preventing cancer and heart disease, regulating blood sugar, a probiotic, and used in Ayurvedic medical for 4,000 years. For our plant-based fans, we utilize coconut nectar, which is low on the glycemic index, and rich in natural vitamins and amino acids. We are committed to never using artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols, which are associated with gastrointestinal distress.
The third pillar of our bars is protein, an essential building block for anyone who’s active. Still the gold standard of protein sources, our whey isolate is proudly sourced from Gallo Farms in Northern California. This form of protein is quickly absorbed by the body and has excellent bioavailability. For a vegan-friendly option, we use pea isolate, one of the most complete plant-based protein available, filled with all 9 essential amino acids and is just as effective for muscle recovery as dairy-based proteins.
