I've been a vegetarian for over a decade now and am always on the lookout for a healthy and tasty vegetarian protein source, particularly when I'm training for a race. I was thrilled when I discovered Simply Bars. Their ingredients, taste (!) and on-the-go convenience make them a perfect midday or post-race snack. They satisfy sweet cravings too which is an added bonus!

I'm an avid rock climber and former outdoor guide and very active midwife with celiac and blood sugar issues in a busy final year of residency. I LOVE your bars but have a hard time getting them! Pregnancy is such an important time in a women's life to reflect about what she puts into her body and gets motivated to make positive changes. I'd love to recommend this bar to my clients!

Athletic Testimonials

My friends call me an 'extreme' athlete but in truth I enjoy pushing my body. The simply bar was such a crucial find for me- I just completed my first ironman in November-the simply bar was great for all the distance I put my body through. It was easy to digest and provided me energy that was constant and balanced without being too sweet. I can't thank you enough.

By Woman, athlete, Toronto

I really enjoy your bars. Some protein bars are just massive chewy chunks of chocolate. As I am a triathlete, my nutrition needs are very high. When I find these bars, I grab up as many as I can.

By Man, Athlete, Toronto

We've received the bars. My partner loves them, and I'm going to love them after I have another few. :) As well, I'll spread them around to some of my favourite clients.

Digestive Testimonials

Snack foods in general cause discomfort to patients with IBS as well as those with lactose, gluten and fat intolerance. This product is gluten free, has no lactose, is low in fat and therefore will be tolerated by persons with IBS, IBD and food intolerances. It should serve as the ideal snack for these individuals.

By Dr KN Jeejeebhoy, Director of Nutrition Support and senior staff physician at St Michael's Hospital.

I have IBD and I am also gluten intolerant. I tried your product and thought that it was a god- send. I couldn't believe how much I loved it and went back to buy more to put in my desk for snacks each day. I really enjoyed it and thought, FINALLY I've found something I can enjoy! Cheers to you.. I keep spreading the news to everyone that I know.

By Woman with Crohn's in Toronto

Thank-you very much for the awesome snacks!! They are perfect. It is so hard to find food that fits my diet restrictions and is portable!! They taste great, and nutritionally are fantastic.

By Dietitian with Crohn's, Winnipeg

I am travelling right now with work and your bars are a god-send (thank you!!!)

By Woman with Ulcerative Colitis, Ottawa

Thanks -- these will be a lifesaver while travelling!-- going to a work conference so it will be new food, long hours and work stress -- what a fabulous combination for IBS!

By Woman with IBS, Toronto

I've been having digestive problems all summer and no doctor seems to know what's up. I really enjoy the bars though and I have told everyone I know about them.

By Woman, digestive upset, Kingston, Ontario

I think the product is wonderful and fills one of my needs. Thanks for developing it.

By Male, Toronto

Hello. I had the good fortune to come across your product when I was visiting Foodsmiths in Perth, Ontario yesterday. After years of searching, I am utterly delighted to have finally found an all-natural, protein-rich snack that does not contain any ingredients that I object to. Your Simply Bars are a pleasure to eat. I love the fact that the Simply Bar is milk free, gluten free, not made from nuts.... It is so nice not to feel as though I am somehow compromising my health by indulging in the convenience of a protein bar. I have recently been experiencing digestive difficulties that have resulted in a reduction in my ability to digest my food. Not only do I not experience the digestive discomfort that has been habitual of late, I thoroughly enjoy your product's delightful taste sensation. Thank you for producing such an exemplary product. You can be sure that I will tell others about your wonderful product. Enjoy your day!

By Woman, Ottawa, Ontario

Hi there, Thank you sooo much for coming up with such a great bar! I love it, it is non-bloating, and has lots of protein without that yucchhy protein bar taste. I especially love the Cocoa Coffee. It's clean and, thanks so much, not sweet. I don't like sweet stuff, and sometimes I don't have time for a proper meal, so this is perrrfect! My store doesn't carry it anymore (Fresh and Wild), but I will try the GNC @ Manulife, or the Noah's on Yonge. I wish you continued success with this product, I do like to give feedback when a product is as excellent as yours. Thanks!

By SH

I really love the Simply Bar and I have IBS and could never find a bar that met my requirements. Thanks so much for developing this bar! And they taste great! Love the fact too that they are high protein content and low-cal. Your newsletters are great and I like your company's story and mission. Keep up the good work! Sincerely,

By GP

I've only tried the Cinnamon and the Chocolate Peanut Bar and they are both delicious. I LOVE them because of their nutritional content. It's really hard to find a protein bar that is high protein, low cal, low fat, and low carb. I'm trying to eat small meals every 3 hours and when you're busy that can be hard to do. These bars are not only tasty but I can throw them in my purse or gym bag and I know that they will provide me the energy and satisfy my hunger until my next feeding! I'm just visting Canada but I live in Hawaii, so I'm planning on ordering online when I get back or stuffing my suitcase. Any plans on getting into Costco????? I can't wait to try to other flavors. Your die hard Simply Bar fan,

Dear Wellness Foods, On the weekend, I came by your product and having made a quick nutritional assessment (analysis of fat, carb, & protein ratio to calories) I thought 'the bar' was extremely well-balanced nutritionally. This morning I broke open The Simply Bar (Lemon Coconut-cuz I'm such a coconut freak) and I was extremely surprised by its taste and texture. I wanted to let you know that working for the Cdn Breast Cancer Fdn has educated me on well-being and diet; and having wheat/milk allergies I thought this product to be simply fabulous in every aspect. Thank you again for making my tastebuds tingle with such delight.. (as well as keeping my diet in check!)

By SW

I tried The Simply Bars and I like them. It's not easy to find a reasonable product like this in Ottawa! Most protien bars are loaded with crappy ingredients. I have celiac disease and can tell if there is even a minute amount of wheat or gluten in a product.

By Connie

My name is Debbie Findlay (my daughter is Kathryn who has done work for you for your website in the past!).... I just wanted to share with you my now long time obsession with your simply bars! I literally don't leave home without them! I remember coming home from a recent yoga retreat and feeling terrible about leaving my 'supply' behind on the plane... I hope someone enjoyed them as much as I do! I am a regular shopper at Whole Foods here in Oakville and they didn't have them in stock today so I went to the customer service department and asked and they quickly got back to me with the necessary info.... They are a part of my daily food intake - conveniently as my 'treat' of the day after lunch with my Starbucks Tazo Chai! Honestly, you have done an amazing job with these bars as they have exactly what I need without all the added sugar and I make sure to tell people when they ask me what it is I'm eating and share its nutritional value as well! Please don't ever discontinue them.... I'd be lost without them and am just about to enjoy my one of the day and then am going out specifically to another source to find my next supply (I buy them by the case!). A thoroughly satisfied customer!!! Thank you

General Testimonials

I am a big fan of your bars, as a long time vegan and a professional, I have consumed your products since they were first marketed, fed them to my family, and recommended them to my clients and co-workers.

By Kristine Elliott



I haven't eaten protein bars before, but I had to change my diet recently, and one of the snack recommendations was a protein bar. I didn't like all the extra what I call "crap" in the recommended ones or the high number of calories in most of them. It was also extremely difficult to find good organic ones. Plus, the organic ones tended to be nuts and dried fruit, a yummy combination but too high in fat and sugar for me. And so when my parents told me about your bars and gave me a sample, it was a relief. Your Simply Bars don't bump up my calorie count and leave me hungry; they're tasty and I've discovered a good burst of fuel for the brain. I enrolled in National Novel Writing Month and spent the month of November writing my novel. I discovered that eating half a bar of cocoa raspberry (I think the cocoa was definitely key) before I sat down made it easier to write and to stick the course until I'd finished my chapter for the day.

Several times, while skimming through the mounds of health food bars at the grocery store, I often by-passed the Simply Bar, simply because I thought it was a Rice Krispie type bar, until I read an article on the Simply Bar and actually saw the nutritional information and how much protein each bar actually has without all of the fat and carbohydrates. That is what drew me to the bar and once reading the article, I simply had to have it. Extremely Satisfying Protein Bar!!!!

By R

I have been eating your Simply Bars religiously for quite some time and have never been anything less than 100% satisfied (and more) with the taste and quality. I really love them - they're the only bar that keeps me "full", if that makes any sense. I bring them with my everywhere I go, and have introduced many friends and co-workers to them as well - almost everyone in my workplace eats them these days!

By RC

I'm currently living in Halifax NS right now and I just stumbled upon The Simply Bar the other day when I was looking for a way to get more protein with fewer carbs, fat and calories. I LOVE the bar and I am moving to the Kentville/New Minas, NS area in August. I'd love to see the bar at the SuperStore in New Minas! I love the fact that The Simply Bar is just, simple, there isn't tonnes of crap in it and it's not a meal replacement or anything! It is just a great source of protein made from a few ingredients. It's fantastic and I'm so glad it's a Canadian product! Thanks!

By VR

I just wanted to say that I think The Simply Bar product is excellent, and one of (if not the best) of the health bar/snack bar products on the market. My favourite flavour is Coffee Cocoa. My next favourite is Lemon Coconut. As part of a balanced diet, I was looking for a higher protein, lower fat snack/health bar, that tasted great, had the consistency of food, and was made with recognizable, natural ingredients (rather than a cocktail of chemicals, that also tasted and felt like a cocktail of chemicals). Something easy that I could put in my purse or desk (and that would not melt!). Something tasty but not too sweet, and that would not trigger inner "sweet tooth" or chocolate cravings. I read countless labels of snack and granola bars in health food stores, drug stores, etc. and The Simply Bar was the only one that fit all these criteria, and really was LOVELY to eat. I have since tried other bars from major manufacturers and well-known companies, but have always been disappointed. None compare favourably in quality or ingredients. I was even more pleased to read that that the company is from my hometown- Toronto! I first came across the bars at Naturally Yours in First Canadian Place. After trying a few, I bought a whole box from them. The bars really help me stay on track with eating in a nutritionally balanced, healthful way as I work through a program with a dietician (who was very impressed with the bars when I brought in the wrappers). Kind regards,

By JL

I have a son who cannot tolerate gluten or dairy products. Your simply bar is excellent. He likes it and it is one of the few bars he can eat.

By DJ

I am a gluten-free, casein-free vegetarian, so these bars are perfect for me! And, I also have MS, which sometimes makes it impossible to prepare food for myself, so the bars are a wonderfully convenient source of protein! Thanks, and best wishes,

By M

Thank God for you.... I have NEVER been so happy as the day that I found your bars. A healthy snack that 100% won't make me sick. Keep up the good work. I eat one bar every day.

By Woman with Celiac disease, Toronto

Excellent product, finally, a convenience food, I used them at the gym, travelling and carry one in my pocket for low blood sugar emergencies (I am also insulin dependent diabetic). And I have told 2 other celiac's about your excellent product.

By Woman with Celiac disease, Hamilton

I love your Simply Bar. Having CD, I am so happy to have found a protein bar. I am looking forward to other flavours :)

By Woman, Toronto

Thank you. I just discovered the Simply Bar and really love it. Vegan, not too many calories, high protein, good sweeteners. I bought it at Whole Foods which seems to only carry the cocoa/coffee flavor. Will look for it at other retailers as well. Thanks again, Ann

I liked the taste and texture of your bar. They are optimal from a taste and nutrition perspective. They perfectly suit a balanced vegetarian diet. They provide the right balance of protein, with almost no fat, required after a work out.
