Organic Plant Based Protein Bar

Vegan Protein Bars

As more and more consumers adopt a healthier, active lifestyle, they look for quick and convenient ways to provide their bodies with enough protein and nutrients to function at their best. Protein bars fulfil this need beautifully by delivering tasty, ready-to-eat nutrition loaded with essential macro and micronutrients. Beyond being practical and not requiring any meal prep, protein bars are a great way to help clean up your diet, support muscle building and weight loss, reduce sugar intake and control sugar cravings. Protein bars come in a range of iterations, some being far cleaner and greener than others, including vegan protein bars.

Therefore, selecting a bar that corresponds to your health goals, needs, and dietary preferences is critical. One type of protein bar that has been steadily gaining in popularity in recent years is the plant-based version. You should feel good about turning to more plant-based options regardless of your motivations. Research has shown that a higher intake of plant-based foods, including plant-based protein bars, helps lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and all-cause mortality. Indeed, the interest in plant-based diets and meals has grown tremendously in the last decade and as a result, so has the number of plant-based protein powders and bars.

Why Choose Vegan Protein Bars?

Plant-based protein bars are ideal for everyone, but especially for those looking to integrate more plant-based foods into their diet. They are also an obvious choice for vegetarians and vegans, but also athletes (pre or post-workout), busy moms (a healthy lunchbox swap out for a sugar-heavy snacks), those on the go, or as a healthy treat to satisfy your sugar cravings. 

Final Thoughts

A quality bar may feature protein from brown rice, pea, soy, quinoa, hemp, pumpkin, sunflower seed, sacha inchi, chia seed, or a blend of these protein sources. Look for bars that don’t contain high amounts of added sugar or use unhealthy sweeteners, like: high fructose corn syrup, which can increase your risk of fatty liver, obesity, and diabetes (in high amounts). Also, pay attention to the excipients and avoid plant-based protein bars that use a lot of fillers, binders, and anything artificial (or ingredients that you can’t pronounce). In a pinch, opt for bars with a short list of ingredients.
