Whether you’re in search of some easy-to-grab options to munch on post-workout or need snacks to help keep you full between meals, protein bars can be a great option. They’re small, lightweight, and relatively mess-free, making them an easy option to throw into any gym bag or purse.
Many of the most popular protein bars are made with whey, however, making them unsuitable for vegans or anyone else who can’t tolerate dairy. Fortunately, increased demand for plant-based products over the last few years has led several companies to create snacks using protein from non-animal sources. Here are the ones we always have in our bags:
Protein Works Ridiculous Protein Bars
With 15 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber per serving, these bars will keep you full and energized without causing a sugar crash. They’re sweetened with stevia, gluten-free, and available in 4 different flavors. We love the Chocolate Biscuit Crunch!
GoMacro Protein Bars
GoMacro’s protein bars have between 10-12 grams of protein per serving depending on the flavor and are one of the best options on the market for anyone with food sensitivities. They’re vegan, soy-free, gluten-free, and FODMAP friendly, but you’d never know from the way they taste. Try the Protein Decadence with dark chocolate and almonds – you won’t regret it.
Aloha Protein Bars
Aloha is one of our favorite brands for plant-based protein powder, so it makes sense that their line of protein bars would also be one of our go-to’s. They come in tons of delicious flavors and even seasonal varieties like Pumpkin Spice in the fall.
