FAQs
What does FAM mean?
FAM stands for Food As Medicine—one of the core beliefs behind everything we make.
To us, that means food as medicine, not medicine as food. We believe everyday food can do more than fill you up. It can nourish, support and help you feel your best.
We always start with organic super foods, great taste and solid nutrition—then thoughtfully add those purposeful ingredients that help you feel better.
That's Food As Medicine, the FAM way.
What makes The FAM Bar different from other functional bars?
We think taking care of yourself has gotten too complicated.
So we made it simpler.
Every FAM Bar starts with 14 g of organic, plant protein, 10 g of fiber and real, thoughtfully chosen ingredients. We then add a purposeful formula for stress, gut health or cognitive support.
Three different needs. Three delicious bars. One less thing to figure out.
Are FAM Bars organic, gluten-free and plant-based?
Yes, yes and yes. FAM Bars are made with organic, gluten-free and plant-based ingredients—because we believe what we leave out matters just as much as what we put in.
What is tapioca fiber?
Tapioca fiber is a plant-based dietary fiber derived from cassava. We use it as one of the fiber sources in our bars, helping us deliver 10 grams of fiber per bar while keeping sugar low.
Simple ingredient. Very useful job.
Why pea protein?
Pea protein gives us a high-quality, plant-based source of protein without dairy or soy. It's rich in iron, easily digestible and plays nicely with the whole-food ingredients in our bars—which matters, because nutrition is important but so is making a bar you actually love to eat.
Can I eat more than one FAM Bar a day?
FAM Bars are made to fit into your day, but more isn't necessarily better. Because our bars contain purposeful functional ingredients, we recommend enjoying them as directed and paying attention to what’s in each formula.
If you’re pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a health condition, check with your healthcare provider before making FAM Bars part of your routine.
How much sugar is in a FAM Bar?
Each FAM Bar has just 4–5 grams of sugar, depending on the flavor. The sweetness comes from organic honey—not sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners.
Just enough sweetness to make a seriously good bar.
Where are your bars made?
Our Functional Protein bars are made in California.

How long do your bars last?

Will my bars melt if it’s hot outside?
Our bars are pretty resilient. Since they’re not chocolate-coated, they generally hold up well in warmer temperatures. Like any food made with real ingredients, though, extreme heat may soften them a bit.
If yours gets a little warm, just give it some time in a cool spot or pop it in the fridge for a few.
Does your bar contain any artificial sweeteners?
No. We do not use any artificial sweeteners in our products.
And our monk fruit does not contain Erythritol.
Do you accept returns?
We value the integrity of our products and work hard to ensure the health and safety of our customers. We do not resell or re-use any FAM Bar products. Because of this, we are not able to accept returns. If you accidentally placed an order, please contact us at hello@thefambar.com and we will try to catch your order. Once an order has shipped from our warehouse, we are unable to make any adjustments to your order.
