FAQs

Why do you only have one bar?

It takes a long time to make a great bar. As a matter of fact, it took us over a year to perfect this one. Two more will be launching soon. Stay tuned...

What does FAM mean?

FAM is an acronym for “Food As Medicine” and it is one of our core beliefs, this idea that everything we choose to eat can either help us lead our healthiest lives or possibly lead us to suffering from preventable illnesses.

What makes The FAM Bar different from other functional bars?

While many bars focus solely on physical health, the FAM Bar takes a holistic approach, addressing both mental and physical well-being. It's the only bar on the market with therapeutic amounts of Ashwagandha and L-theanine, two powerful adaptogens scientifically shown to help manage stress, promote relaxation, and support overall balance. Made with organic, plant-based ingredients and packed with nutrients, The FAM Bar is designed to nourish your body and calm your mind. It's more than a snack; it's your new daily ritual.

Is The FAM Bar non-GMO?

YES. We are certified Non-GMO. Ninety-nine percent of our ingredients are organic. Organic regulations strictly forbid GMO ingredients. 

Is The FAM Bar gluten-free?

YES. Our bar proudly carries a gluten-free certification, ensuring every ingredient is safe for those with gluten sensitivities.

What is tapioca fiber?

Tapioca fiber is a dietary fiber derived from the cassava root and known for its excellent prebiotic qualities. It helps promote gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract which can enhance overall digestion and nutrient absorption. Tapioca fiber supports a feeling of fullness making it a valuable ingredient for those looking to maintain a healthy weight. It can also aid in maintaining balanced blood sugar levels, providing a steady source of energy throughout the day.

Why pea protein?

We believe in a sustainable plant-based lifestyle. Organic pea protein is derived from yellow peas and offers a complete amino acid profile essential for muscle growth and repair. It’s hypoallergenic and easily digestible, making it a fantastic protein source for those with dietary sensitivities or seeking a vegan-friendly option. Pea protein is also rich in iron and is easily digestible, ensuring maximum nutrient absorption.

How many Net Carbs are in the Peanut Butter Cacao bar?

Each bar contains 24 grams of carbohydrates, but thanks to 10 grams of fiber, the net carb count is reduced to just 14 grams.

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? 

Since we never use artificial preservatives in our bars, chocolate can and will melt when exposed to high temperatures. But have no fear! A little melted cacao will not change the taste or any nutritional values. Just pop the bars in the fridge for half and an hour and enjoy!

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.
