Your bars, ingredients, and claims seem too good compared to everything I have ever tried—Are you for real? Why should I believe you?
Do you put sugar in your bars?
Our healthy protein bars are 100% free of cane sugar. Our mission is to help wean people off of sugar so we wouldn’t think of adding sugar to our bars.
How do you make your bars taste sweet?
We sweeten the bars with monk fruit. It does not spike insulin. Just listen—your body will thank you. Taste buds too!
Do your bars contain gluten?
Our bars are gluten free.
Do your bars contain grains?
Our bars are 100% grain free.
Do your bars contain soy?
Our bars are 100% soy free.
I am concerned that you use Palm Oil in the bars. What’s the story about that?
The Hain/Spectrum Palm Oil we use is certified RSPO from Columbia not Southeast Asia, so it is not endangering orangutans. Here is a link to the RSPO site. https://www.rspo.org/about
Why do you have Chocolate Chips listed on your ingredients? I thought these were low sugar bars.
We have our own special monk fruit chocolate chips made just for us, according to our specifications. And they are totally cane-sugar free!
I’m looking for protein bars that will help me lose weight. Can Bhu help?
Definitely! We’d be glad to. Our protein bars are not only super delicious, they are also among the best nutrition bars for weight loss. High fiber. Low carb. Low sugar. Deeply satisfying. Our founder, Laura Katelman, has paid particular attention to one of the keys of weight loss: getting most of your calories from real food, which is grown, not junk, which is made. She has set a passionate standard in supporting people to not only to lose weight, but to maintain their weight loss over time by transitioning from eating junk to eating food. Our bars can truly be a great step for you, and if you happen to be interested, you can always check out her Amazon best-seller book on the topic, Skinny Thinking. All the best!
My cold packs are melted. Are my bars still safe to eat?
The Refrigerated Bars will not have spoiled in shipping. If they are a little soft upon arrival that is OK. The ingredients we use to make our bars do not require refrigeration. The refrigeration is to keep the oils solid and for the bars to maintain their form. If you put them in the fridge for a little time they will reconstitute and be delicious.
How and when are BHU products shipped?
All shipments are made via UPS 2-Day Shipping, and online orders are shipped out on Monday-Wednesday to ensure your products arrive in perfect condition. All orders received after 11AM CST on Wednesday will ship the following Monday.
Do the Bites have to be refrigerated?
No, the Protein Bites have a different formula from the Refrigerated Bars, so they are shelf stable and do not require refrigeration.
Does the Cookie Dough in a Jar need to be refrigerated?
No, we recommend that the Jars stay at room temperature and consumed within 7 days after opening. The Cookie Dough is vegan so no need to keep it in the fridge. Trust us, the creaminess will not be as amazing if chilled.
Is everything vegan?
Yes, all our products are completely vegan
Do you have any products without nuts?
We do! We invite you to check out our Double Dark Chocolate Chip Bar or our Apple Cinnamon Nutmeg Bar.
Are you sold in stores?

Why are your products so expensive?

Do your products contain IMOs?
Does the monk fruit you use contain erythritol or any sugar alcohols?

What is the difference between the Bhu Vegan Protein Bars and the Bhu Refrigerated Bars?
Bhu Vegan Protein Bars are: shelf stable, sunflower seed-based, chewy texture, protein-driven, lower in fat, 12 pack. Bhu Refrigerated bars are stored in the fridge or freezer, cashew-based, creamier texture, keto-driven, higher in fat, 8 pack. Both bars are keto, low sugar, vegan, organic, non-GMO, and gluten free.
Why Palm Oil, and what’s the difference between palm fruit oil and palm kernel oil?
We use Palm Fruit Oil … NOT Palm Kernel oil. Both oils come from palm trees, but that is where the similarity ends. Palm Fruit oil comes from the fleshy part of the fruit and contains the “good monounsaturated fats”. Palm Kernel oil comes from the nut and predominantly consists of saturated fats.
Do BHU Products contain erythritol?
We want to reassure you that BHU products do not contain erythritol.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol commonly used as a sugar substitute. Instead, we use pure monk fruit as a natural sweetener in our products. There are a number of sweeteners that combine monk fruit with erythritol and this can cause confusion. Rest assured, we DO NOT use erythritol or any sugar alcohols in our products.
Monk fruit is a safe and healthy alternative to traditional sugar, and studies suggest it contains antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, among other potential health benefits. [1]
Our products are free from erythritol and any other harmful additives. At BHU, we are committed to providing nutritious and delicious products made with clean and natural ingredients.
We are taking steps to inform our customers about the differences between erythritol and monk fruit, as well as other ingredients we choose not to use for quality and health reasons. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
