Pros
- Four-Ingredient Protein Bars: The Almond Honey bar lists only almonds, honey, whey protein isolate and coconut glycerin, and delivers 16 grams of protein in a 280-calorie, 60-gram bar.
- Free Shipping on Every Order: Risebar.com ships every US order free, even a $11.99 four-bar sampler, and Subscribe & Save takes 15% off deliveries every 30 or 60 days.
- Certified Gluten-Free and Kosher Bars: Rise says every bar is certified gluten-free and kosher by Natural Food Certifiers, tests under 5 ppm of gluten, and its two vegan bars are Non-GMO Project Verified.
Cons
- The bars are sweetened with honey or coconut nectar, so an Almond Honey bar carries 15 grams of added sugar, and the 2026 recipe trimmed protein to 14 to 16 grams a bar, so read the nutrition panel on each flavor against your own targets before you stock up.
- The store ships only within the US and takes back only unused boxes within 30 days at your own postage cost, so shoppers in Canada, Australia and the UK need a local retailer, and US buyers can start with a $11.99 sampler before committing to a full box.
The Verdict
What sets Rise Bar apart is how short its ingredient lists are for a bar with real protein in it: The Almond Honey bar, the brand's best seller, lists almonds, honey, whey protein isolate and coconut glycerin, and its nutrition panel shows 16 grams of protein and 280 calories in a 60-gram bar. The vegan Lemon Cashew bar uses cashews, pea protein, organic coconut nectar and organic lemon extract for 15 grams of protein. Rise says every bar is certified gluten-free and kosher by Natural Food Certifiers and that its two vegan bars are Non-GMO Project Verified. The company began in California in 2010 and has belonged to USANA Health Sciences since November 2022, through its Rise Wellness subsidiary in Salt Lake City. The bars use no sugar alcohols, artificial sweeteners or preservatives, and the vanilla whey powder adds 25 grams of protein a scoop with no added sugar, so the whole range reads like a pantry list rather than a lab sheet. Pricing is simple. Every 12-bar box costs $30.99, about $2.58 a bar, in Almond Honey, Chocolatey Almond, Mocha Almond, Honey Cinnamon, Lemon Cashew or Chocolatey Coconut, and four-bar samplers cost $11.99. A 24-pack of Almond Honey minis is $32.99, and the Vanilla and Chocolate whey powders cost $44.99 for 30 servings, or $39.99 for Mint Chocolate. Product pages take 5% off two items and 10% off three, Subscribe & Save takes 15% off deliveries every 30 or 60 days, and every order ships free by USPS, usually within 24 to 72 hours. The reservations are about sugar, texture and reach. Honey and coconut nectar count as added sugar, 15 grams in an Almond Honey bar, and the 2026 recipe lowered protein to 14 to 16 grams a bar to hold prices. Reviewers have long mentioned oily bars and wrappers, which Rise says its new packaging addresses. The store ships only within the US, and returns must be unused, back within 30 days and sent at your own cost, although the 30-day guarantee page promises a replacement if you are unhappy. Trustpilot has no reviews of the store yet, so the site's own ratings, such as 4.7 out of 5 from 244 Almond Honey reviews, carry most of the weight. Start with a sampler to find a flavor, then subscribe to the one you like.
Simple-Ingredient Whey and Vegan Protein Bars With Free US Shipping
Rise Bar sells its protein bars and whey protein powder direct at risebar.com, with customer support at 3838 West Parkway Blvd in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company was founded in California in 2010 by Pete Spenuzza and has been owned by USANA Health Sciences since November 2022; Rise Wellness, USANA's wholly owned subsidiary, now makes Rise Bars and Protein Pop drinks. The range covers four whey bars, two vegan pea-protein bars, mini bars and three whey protein powders.
Every 12-bar box costs $30.99, about $2.58 a bar, including Almond Honey, Chocolatey Almond, Mocha Almond, Honey Cinnamon, Lemon Cashew and Chocolatey Coconut. Four-bar samplers cost $11.99, a 24-pack of Almond Honey minis is $32.99, and the Vanilla and Chocolate protein powders cost $44.99 for 30 servings, with Mint Chocolate at $39.99. Product pages take 5% off two items and 10% off three, and Subscribe & Save takes 15% off deliveries every 30 or 60 days.
The Almond Honey bar's panel shows 280 calories, 16 grams of protein and 16 grams of sugar, 15 of them added, while the vanilla powder carries 25 grams of protein and no added sugar. Rise says every bar is certified gluten-free and kosher by Natural Food Certifiers, while its whey powders are not kosher and are made in a facility that also handles wheat, and all bars run on equipment shared with milk, peanuts, tree nuts and soy. Orders ship free by USPS to the continental US, Alaska and Hawaii, usually within 24 to 72 hours, and arrive in three to five business days; the store does not ship to Canada, Australia or the UK.
Unused or defective products bought on risebar.com can be returned within 30 days of purchase for a full refund to your card, after you email [email protected], though return postage and shipping charges are not refunded; the 30-day guarantee page also offers a replacement if you are unhappy with an order. The independent record is thin: Trustpilot shows no reviews of risebar.com, so the store's own ratings, such as 4.7 out of 5 from 244 reviews of the Almond Honey box, carry most of the weight, and some retail reviewers mention oily or chalky bars.
Rise Bar: what to know before you buy
Rise Bar makes protein bars from four to six ingredients and a whey protein powder, now owned by USANA's Rise Wellness. Here is what they cost, what is in them and how shipping and returns work.
Shipping, returns & warranty
Every order on risebar.com ships free by USPS to the continental US, Alaska and Hawaii. Orders usually leave within 24 to 72 hours and arrive three to five business days later, and the store does not ship to military APO addresses, hotels or anywhere outside the US. We found no published holiday order-by date, so leave a week or more for gifts.
Unused or defective products bought on the site can be returned within 30 days of purchase. Email [email protected] with your order number and whether you want an exchange, store credit or a refund, then ship the box back prepaid; refunds go to your original card, and shipping and insurance charges are not refunded. Rise's 30-day guarantee page also offers to replace an order you are unhappy with, whichever store you bought it from.
Bars bought from a retailer go back through that retailer's own policy. Each bar carries a best-by date one year after production, printed on the back.
Rise Bar product lines
Whey protein bars come in Almond Honey, Chocolatey Almond, Mocha Almond and Honey Cinnamon, and the vegan pea-protein bars come in Lemon Cashew and Chocolatey Coconut. Each comes in a 12-bar box for $30.99, and four-bar samplers of whey or vegan bars cost $11.99. Almond Honey also comes as a 24-pack of minis for $32.99.
The whey protein powders come in Vanilla and Chocolate, with 25 grams of protein per serving, at $44.99 for 30 servings, and in Mint Chocolate at $39.99, with four-serving sample packs at $9.99. The Mocha Almond bar contains 1 milligram of caffeine from arabica coffee.
How to choose a Rise bar
Start with the protein source. The whey bars suit most eaters and carry 14 to 16 grams of protein, while Lemon Cashew and Chocolatey Coconut use pea protein for vegans and are the two flavors Rise lists as Non-GMO Project Verified.
Then check sugar. Rise sweetens with honey or coconut nectar rather than sugar alcohols, so an Almond Honey bar carries 15 grams of added sugar and a Lemon Cashew bar 14; the vanilla protein powder has none. Everyone with a nut allergy should skip the range, since every bar contains almonds or cashews.
If you are unsure about flavor, the $11.99 samplers ship free and give you four bars to try before a 12-bar box.
Deals & pricing
Rise lists no 'was' prices: a 12-bar box is $30.99 everywhere on the site. The standing savings are 5% off two items and 10% off three on product pages, and 15% off with Subscribe & Save on deliveries every 30 or 60 days, plus free shipping on every order.
We found no public discount code, so we list none. To catch a holiday price drop, set a price alert on In-Right's /watchlist/ page.

Rise Bar: questions people ask
Straight answers about Rise Bar, then how this review was written and stays independent.
About Rise Bar
Is Rise Bar legit?
Yes. Rise Bar was founded in California in 2010 and has been owned by USANA Health Sciences, a public company, since November 2022 through its Rise Wellness subsidiary. It sells direct at risebar.com with published shipping and return terms, and its bars are also sold by US retailers. Trustpilot has no reviews of the store yet, so its own product ratings carry most of the weight.
What are Rise protein bars made of?
Rise bars use four to six ingredients. The Almond Honey bar lists almonds, honey, whey protein isolate and coconut glycerin, and the vegan Lemon Cashew bar lists cashews, pea protein, organic coconut nectar and organic lemon extract. Coconut glycerin was added in 2026 to make the bars softer.
How much protein and sugar is in a Rise bar?
After the 2026 recipe update, Rise bars carry 14 to 16 grams of protein each. The Almond Honey bar's panel shows 16 grams of protein, 280 calories and 16 grams of sugar, 15 of them added from honey. The Lemon Cashew bar shows 15 grams of protein and 15 grams of sugar.
Are Rise bars gluten-free?
Rise says all of its bars are certified gluten-free by Natural Food Certifiers and test below 5 parts per million of gluten. Its whey protein powders use gluten-free ingredients but are made in a facility that also processes wheat. Every bar contains nuts and is made on equipment shared with milk, peanuts, tree nuts and soy.
What is the Rise Bar return policy?
Products bought on risebar.com can be returned within 30 days of purchase if they are unused or defective. Email [email protected] with your order number, then ship the box back at your own cost; you get a full refund to your card, minus shipping and insurance charges. The 30-day guarantee page also offers to replace an order you are unhappy with.
Does Rise Bar ship to Canada, Australia or the UK?
No. Risebar.com ships only within the US, including Alaska and Hawaii, and not to military APO addresses or hotels. US orders ship free. Shoppers elsewhere would need a local retailer that stocks Rise bars.
About this review
Is this Rise Bar review sponsored?
No. Rise Bar did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the Rise Bar assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
What else have you reviewed in Health & Wellness?
Everything in Health & Wellness sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.
Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
