Is RXBAR Protein Bar low FODMAP?
FODMAP score
80
High FODMAP
No — RXBAR is a high FODMAP food despite its clean short label. Dates are the very first ingredient (about two whole dates per bar) and are concentrated in fructans, and cashews — one of the most FODMAP-dense nuts — are the third ingredient. The egg-white protein base is completely fine; it's the fruit-and-nut matrix around it that carries the load.
What's inside
📏 One 1.83 oz (52g) bar is built on about two whole dates — well past the small date portion many people can handle, before the cashews are even counted.
Gentler alternatives
↳Hard-boiled egg + ~10 almonds — The same egg-and-nuts protein idea without the date base doing the binding.
↳RXBAR Minis (half-size) — Halving the bar halves the date and cashew dose — still a caution, but a meaningfully smaller load.
↳Peanut butter on rice cakes — Peanuts sit far lower on the FODMAP scale than cashews, with no dried fruit involved.
