How it’s built

What goes into every bar

Every Steady bar pairs its carbohydrates with 9g of fiber, 15g of plant protein, and fats from almond butter and MCT oil. It’s the same idea behind a balanced plate: build around fiber, protein, and fat, not sugar alone.

9g of fiber

15g of plant protein

Fats from almond butter and MCT oil

36%

of the carbs in a Steady bar are fiber

Most bars lead with a sugar number. We think the more useful number is how much of the carbohydrate is fiber. In a Steady bar, 9 of every 25 grams of carbohydrate are fiber, with 9g of fiber and 9g of sugar, a 1:1 ratio. The sweetness comes from whole foods: date paste, date sugar, and honey in Salted Cocoa; date paste, maple syrup, and maple sugar crystals in Vanilla Chai.

Ingredient intelligence

What we put in. And why.

What each ingredient is there for, and the research we cite. Every study tested an ingredient, not Steady Bar.

Fat

Almond Butter

Our first ingredient by weight: almonds ground with a pinch of salt. About 18g per bar.

Fiber

Chicory Root Fiber

A soluble fiber from chicory root. With tapioca fiber, it supplies the 9g of fiber on our label.

Studies of chicory fiber and appetite are mixed, so we count it as fiber, not as a fullness claim.3 6

Fiber

Tapioca Fiber

A fiber syrup made from tapioca, used in both flavors. Part of the 9g of fiber on our label.

Protein

Plant Protein Tri-Blend

15g of protein from pea protein isolate, pumpkin seed protein and brown rice protein. No dairy, soy, or whey. None of the three is one of the FDA’s nine major food allergens, though Steady Bar does contain almonds, a tree nut.

In a meta-analysis of studies in healthy adults, higher-protein snacks raised fullness ratings more than lower-protein ones. The studies tested protein, not Steady Bar.1

Fat

MCT Oil

A fat from coconut. About 1.9g per bar in Salted Cocoa and 2.5g in Vanilla Chai.

A review of MCT research describes MCTs as quickly absorbed and carried straight to the liver, where they are used for fuel. It reviewed MCTs, not Steady Bar.2

Sweetener

Dates

Whole-fruit sweetness: date paste in both flavors, plus date sugar in Salted Cocoa.

Vanilla Chai

Maple Syrup

Sweetens Vanilla Chai, alongside date paste and maple sugar crystals.

Vanilla Chai

Chai Spice

Our homemade blend of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, black pepper, nutmeg, and allspice.

Clove, allspice and cinnamon rank among the most antioxidant-rich spices in a large laboratory survey of foods. The survey measured pure dried spices, not our bar.5

Mushroom

Organic Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract

About 500mg of organic Lion’s Mane mushroom extract per bar, in both flavors.

We include about 500mg per bar and make no claims about what it does. Researchers have analyzed its protein, carbohydrate and mineral content.4

How we read the research

What the studies tested, and what they didn't

We cite a small number of studies and tell you exactly what each one measured. Where the evidence is weak, we say that too.

Protein and fullness

Higher-protein snacks raised fullness ratings in controlled studies

studies pooled in the meta-analysis
5
studies in a second, directional analysis
28
fullness tracked after eating, in healthy adults
2 to 4 hr

Across the pooled studies, higher-protein preloads raised fullness ratings more than lower-protein ones (pooled effect 2,436 mm·min over 240 minutes, 95% CI 1,375 to 3,496).1

What this does and doesn't mean

It shows that protein preloads raised how full people said they felt, under tightly defined lab conditions. It doesn’t show that Steady Bar, or any snack, changes how much you eat over a day, and the authors caution against reading it that way.1

  1. Studies tested ingredients, not Steady Bar.

    No study cited here tested our bar. Each one tested a single ingredient, often at a dose chosen for the study.

  2. Doses differ.

    Study doses can be larger or smaller than what one bar contains. We list our amounts above so you can compare.

  3. Where the evidence is mixed, we say so.

    A systematic review found most trials of chicory-type fiber showed no change in appetite.3 In a trial of bars with 10g of inulin, women felt no fuller and ate no less.6 We include chicory for fiber, not as a fullness promise.

  4. Where we have no evidence, we make no claim.

    We include about 500mg of Lion’s Mane and make no claims about what it does. The study we link only measured what it contains.4

  5. What we left out.

    We left out studies of health outcomes that a food can’t claim. Steady Bar is a food with a Nutrition Facts panel, not a supplement.

Fiber, sugar, and what sweetens it

Some bars reach near-zero sugar with stevia, sugar alcohols or sucralose. We sweeten with whole foods and match every gram of sugar with a gram of fiber.

Steady Bar matches every gram of sugar with a gram of fiber, without sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners

Bar sizes differ, so this compares one bar of each as sold. David lists 0g sugar because allulose isn’t counted as sugar on US labels; it also lists 7g of sugar alcohol. Competitor values were read from each brand’s own site in October 2026 and can change with recipes.

Vanilla Chai

Our chai spice blend uses three of the most antioxidant-dense spices measured in a 3,100-food survey.

Cinnamon, allspice, and clove all rank in the top tier of a peer-reviewed food antioxidant survey testing over 3,100 foods, beverages, spices, and herbs. The survey measured pure dried spices, not our bar, which uses a small amount of each.5

  1. Rank 1: Clove

    Highest-ranked spice or herb among more than 3,100 foods tested

  2. Rank 3: Allspice

    3rd-highest-ranked spice or herb in the same survey

  3. Rank 4: Cinnamon

    4th-highest-ranked spice or herb in the same survey

#2 in the survey is dried peppermint, which isn’t in our blend.

For reference: dark chocolate (70 to 99% cocoa) averages about 10.9 mmol/100g on the same scale, while clove averages about 277 mmol/100g.
