2. How Many Bars/Shakes/Trail Mixes/Cookies are in a Box?

There are 13 fresh made bars in each box of custom bars and popular bars.  There are 13 single-serving custom shakes in each box of custom shakes and popular shakes.  There are 13 single serving custom trail mixes in each box of custom and popular trail mixes.  Note that often the 13th bar or trail mix is packed outside the box.  There are 12 individually wrapped cookies in each tin of custom and popular cookies.

3. What is the shelf life of You Bars?

Given that freshness is one of the best qualities of You Bar, we recommend that you order what you expect to eat within the month.  However we put a two-month “best by” date on each bar; and further recommend refrigerating your bars for maximum freshness.   Bars with honey tend to have an even longer shelf life.

4. Do the bars/shakes/trail mixes/cookies have nutrition facts, ingredient list, and allergy information on each package?

Yes! There is a custom label on each indivdual bar and shake package that has your custom nutrition facts, ingredient list and allergy information.  The exception is cookies which are individually wrapped but only have the name and nutrition facts listed on the tin.

11. How do you serve You Shakes?

Directions:  Combine one package of You Shake with 8-12 oz. soy milk, juice, rice milk, water, dairy milk, or yogurt.  Shake or stir until delicious.  

- Add crushed ice for a cool smoothie.  

- Sprinkle You Shake on hot or cold breakfast cereal for a yummy, nutritional boost.

- Use your imagination for other possibilities.  We are sure there are customers who secretly enjoy dry You Shakes right out of the package.

12. How can I get the highest possible amount of protein into the bars? 

If You would like more protein in your bar than what you can achieve online with the nutrition calculator, we can increase that here in the shop.  Please put in the “special request” box how much you would like, call us at (323) 931-0098 or email us at support@youbars.com and we will do our best to accommodate. For a large bar we can get up to 21g of protein into the bar.

3. What is APO / FPO?

This is a military designated address that allows mail to be delivered to overseas locations at domestic rates.

The format for a military address according to US Postal Service FAQ page:

Instead of a city and state, these addresses use APO (Army Post Office) or FPO (Fleet Post Office), along with "AE" (mail going to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and portions of Canada), "AP" (the Pacific) and "AA" (for the Americas and portions of Canada). Therefore, the bottom line of overseas military addresses is: APO or FPO; followed by AE, AP, or AA; and then the ZIP Code.

4. Does You Bar Ship to an APO or FPO Address?

I am proud to say that we do ship to both APO or FPO addresses.  The shipping cost is the same as though we were shipping domestic in the USA.  The shipment does usually take a little longer to get there so please allow 7 to 10 days.

5. My order should have arrived by now. What should I do?

If your order has not arrived in 8 business days, please call our customer support at (323) 931-0098 or email us at support@youbars.com.
