Genesee vs. RXBAR: Which Clean Protein Bar Actually Wins?
RXBAR built the clean-label category with "No B.S." on the wrapper. We respect that. But 12 grams of protein and zero ancestral fat isn't enough for athletes training hard.

Both bars pass the ingredient-label test most grocery shelves can't. The differences show up in protein payload and the kind of fat that fuels the work.

Frequently asked
What makes bison tallow different?
Bison were grass- and forage-finished on open range for 200,000 years. Their fat carries a fatty-acid profile shaped by that range, not by a feedlot corn-and-soy diet. It's closer to what humans ancestrally adapted to burn than any seed oil.
Are Genesee bars subscription-only?

Not yet — we ship anywhere in the U.S. with free shipping over $50. International expansion is planned for 2026 Q3.
