Whether you’re looking for a post-workout refuel, or you’re simply wanting a snack to tide you over before dinner, check out our best vegan protein bar list:
KIND Bars
Our favourite flavour: Peanut Butter Protein Bar
Protein per bar: 12g
Where to buy: Sainsburys, Tescos, Holland & Barrett, Amazon
KIND has recently launched a new protein range; loaded with 12g of plant protein per serving, these bars are packed full of the good stuff. And, if you can’t decide whether you’re a smooth or crunchy peanut-butter-lover, you get the best of both worlds with this bar = whole peanuts coated in smooth peanut butter.
CLIF Bars
Our favourite flavour: White Chocolate Macadamia
Protein per bar: 9g
Where to buy: Holland & Barrett, Planet Organic, select Sainsburys stores
Clif bars are one of the original, most-loved, high protein snacks. Meet your best friend on a long hiking trip, as they're bursting with vegan protein and give you an energy hit like no other. Our favourite flavoured bar, is exploding with roasted macadamia nuts and indulgent vegan white chocolate chunks.
Protein Ball Co
Our favourite flavour: Raspberry Brownie
Protein per 100g: 5g
Where to buy: Holland & Barrett, Amazon, The Protein Ball Co
Without a doubt one of my go-to snacks, these are little bite-sized vegan protein balls of deliciousness. They’re made from top quality, natural ingredients, and are high in protein and fibre. Pick from four vegan flavours: Lemon + Pistachio, Goji + Coconut, Peanut Butter + Jam and Raspberry Brownie. Not sure which flavour you fancy? Top tip: try them all.
Pulsin Bars
Our favourite flavour: Vanilla Choc Chip Protein Booster
Protein per bar: 13g
Where to buy: Sainsburys, Tescos, Holland & Barrett, Amazon
With a cookie-dough-like taste and texture, this vanilla chocolate chip bar tastes more like a treat than a post-workout pick-me-up. Packed with 13g of plant-based protein, and flavoured with Madagascan vanilla (only the best), these are a great snack option.
Trek Protein Flapjack
Our favourite flavour: Cocoa Oat
Protein per bar: 9g
Where to buy: Sainsburys, Tescos, Holland & Barrett, Amazon
Take your usual flapjack sweet-treat and turn it into a protein packed tasty snack. What’s not to love? These cocoa oat vegan flapjacks combine crumbly oats with soya protein pieces for an added crunch, and are coated with a thick, indulgent layer of dark chocolate.
MyVegan Range
Our favourite flavour: Chocolate Baked Cookie
Protein per cookie: 13g
Where to buy: MyVegan
MyProtein’s vegan range — MyVegan — has an extensive snack range online. Choose from a classic protein bar, to peanut squares, or to our personal faves – filled chocolate cookies, to get your protein hit. The best part? Everything comes in at least three different flavours, so the choices are endless.
Eat Natural Protein Packed Range
Our favourite flavour: Peanuts and Chocolate
Protein per 100g: 10g
Where to buy: Sainsburys, Tescos, Holland & Barrett, Amazon
Eat Natural’s best selling bar squeezes 45% peanuts into each wrapper, as well as chunks of dark chocolate and shredded coconut for sweetness. And the result? A seriously nutty, very moreish vegan protein bar.
Larabar Bars
Our favourite flavour: Banana Chocolate Chip
Protein per bar: 5.4g
Where to buy: Sainsburys, Tescos, Holland & Barrett, Amazon
Whilst not exclusively labelled a ‘protein bar’, Larabar (having first made their fame in the States), are a great way to fuel your workouts. With no more than six ingredients in each bar, they’re a great way to pack your diet with naturally-derived, wholefood protein.
