Which vegan protein bars are actually good? Vegan protein bar reviews

I love a protein bar as a snack on the go or to refuel after a workout. I’ve been testing out several options and here’s a compilation of my honest, unsponsored vegan protein bar reviews.

Tasting and rating vegan protein bars

I absolutely love how these bars taste, and they don’t cause me any digestive discomfort. Whilst I won’t get tired of this flavour, it would be awesome to have another option for variety.

  • RRP: £23.99 for 10 bars

  • Personal rating: 9/10

I tried this bar in salted caramel flavour and I really want to try the other ones. To be honest I was pleasantly surprised, I didn’t expect this bar to taste this good.

It looks so compact on the outside that I almost expected it to be too crunchy and hard to bite into. Turns out the texture is just perfect. This bar is also very filling and makes a great afternoon snack.

PROBAR Protein Bar

  • Flavours available: Six - Chocolate Brownie, Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Sea Salt Caramel, Mint Chocolate, Coffee Crunch

  • Protein & calories: 20g protein and 260 to 280kcal depending on the flavour

  • RRP: £17.20 for 6 bars

  • Personal rating: 3/10

A disappointment. I don’t know if I was unlucky with a bad batch but I tried the PB Chocolate and Cookie Dough flavours and both bars were so hard to bite into that I gave up finishing them.

Even chewing small chunks was nearly impossible. I also didn’t really enjoy the artificial taste, won’t be buying again.

  • Protein & calories: 16g protein, 308kcal per Cacao & Orange bar and 304kcal per Lemon & Cashew bar

  • Personal rating: 8/10

I bought some Lemon & Cashew bars, which taste amazing and have a more chewy texture than the other brands I’ve tried.

It almost feels like biting into some cashew butter fudge. I only wish the protein content was higher for a 300kcal snack.
