The Simply Bar will never be a cheap bar because we use the best ingredients, with no junk, or fillers. We are proud of our ingredients and of the great nutritional value of our product.
That being said, we encourage you to get a better deal by buying in bulk from The Simply Bar Online Store. If you purchase 6 boxes and use coupon code “Buy5BoxesGet1Free” at checkout, you get the 6th box FREE.
Also, you can follow us on Twitter and Facebook to find out about promotions and giveaways.
Crumbliness is a feature we are consistently working to improve and avoid; however, sometimes there are the few bars from a batch that may be more prone to crumbling. We suggest you do not store or keep the bars in a cold environment as that can contribute to the crumbliness of the bars.
In the US, we are mostly carried in stores in New York and its surrounding states; see our full list of stores. Having said that, we would love to get into more retailers throughout the US, so we encourage you to reach out to your preferred health store(s) and suggest they carry our bars. This would be for both your convenience as well as an introduction for them to our bars that may benefit their other customers as well. The store can contact for information on ordering our bars for retail.
Our shipping costs are calculated automatically at check out based on shipping location and size of order (weight). Our warehouse is in upstate New York so locations in the south or in the west have relatively higher shipping costs. We charge only what it costs us to ship the bars out to our customers.
To help new customers try out The Simply Bar, we cover the cost of shipping for our individual bars (up to five bars) when you order at The Simply Bar Online Store. We also offer a sample pack of 10 bars (a mix of 1-2 flavors of each of our 7 varieties) at a subsidized rate.
Yes, The Simply Bar is certified kosher by Orthodox Union (OU), the world’s largest and most widely recognized kosher certification agency, as well as the Kashruth Council of Canada, the largest kosher certification agency in Canada (COR symbol with numbers 553 associated with the authenticity of our designation).
Yes. The Simply Bar is certified gluten free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization ( GFCO) and is manufactured in a gluten-free environment to prevent cross-contamination. We follow strict manufacturing practices and screen all our products using R5-Elisa. At ‹5ppm of gluten, our delicious protein packed bars are both safe for our celiac consumers as well as an excellent snack option.
Yes. The Simply Bar facility is maintained within a gluten-free environment. It should be noted that our facility also manufactures oats. Oats are naturally gluten-free. However, there is some concern whether the oats are grown in a field that at some point grew other gluten containing grains. Rest assured, our oats are tested for gluten before and after each usage.
The Simply Bar after consulting a dietitian at the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University, had to improve the standards of testing. We still follow strict manufacturing practices and now incorporate R5-Elisa testing by Bia Diagnostics. We are proud to share our tasty protein bars with our celiac friends. At ‹5ppm we are considered a safe source of nutrition for even the greatest gluten-intolerant consumer.
The Simply Bar are currently working on the labeling to get the message out to anyone with questions regarding our gluten-free criteria. Look out for new additions to our boxes in 2011 with information on our ppm level and certifications. Please let us know if there is anything else you would like us to add! We love hearing for you.
No, not all of our bars are made with nuts in their ingredients. However, the facility which we use to manufacture our product is not nut-free, so we cannot guarantee a nut -free product.
The Wellness Foods head office is in Toronto, Canada. This is where the company and The Simply Bar were first created.
Yes! The Chocolate Peanut Butter, Lemon Coconut, and Cocoa Coffee Simply Bars were designed for diabetics. Instead of using large amounts of fat, they rely on Non Genetically Modified soy protein and low glycemic agave nectar. The diabetic conversion of 1 Simply Bar = 3 lean proteins and 1 carbohydrate choice.
We suggest giving children under the age of 10 only half a Simply Bar at one time due to the large amount of protein in each bar.
Yes! Unlike many other bars, The Simply Bar is vegan. We use no gelatin or whey. We use non-genetically modified soy protein where as other bars turn to casein or whey for protein, which are all milk proteins.
We care about the ingredients we use. When creating The Simply Bar, one of our driving principles was simplicity – simple ingredients that are tasty, vegetarian and easy-to-digest. For ingredients and full nutritional information on each of our bars, you can check out the following links:

I love the fact that you’re the only protein bar that is not full of calories. It’s great for a calorie counter like me. I usually go for the chocolate kinds as I always found the fruity flavors fake. But WOW, I really like the lemon coconut. I was surprised. Thanks so much for giving us a better choice!
I'm an avid rock climber and former outdoor guide and very active midwife with celiac and blood sugar issues in a busy final year of residency. I LOVE your bars but have a hard time getting them! Pregnancy is such an important time in a women's life to reflect about what she puts into her body and gets motivated to make positive changes. I'd love to recommend this bar to my clients!
