If you've been struggling to find vegan protein bars, this list is for you! I scanned the grocery store shelves, and countless nutrition labels to find the BEST vegan protein bars you can buy right now. And there's something for everyone on this plant based protein bar list. So, no matter what flavor you're in the mood for, whether it's chocolate, banana, peanut butter, berry, or somewhere in between, you'll find it on this list.
THE BEST VEGAN PROTEIN BARS
Protein bars are one of the best vegan snacks you can have - they are easy to eat on the go, and you can bring them with you practically anywhere.
And some of the bars on this list can even supplement a meal when you're in a pinch!
Not to mention, many of these are clean vegan protein bars and are low in sugar and high in fiber, so they're good for your gut micro-biome!
Oh, and since it can be hard to get protein in when following a vegan diet, these bars make an excellent plant-based option to up your protein intake with.
That said, let's get into the list!
1. GOMACRO
First up on the list is GoMacro - an organic, gluten-free, and vegan protein bar.
GoMacro bars have become super popular over the past few years, and for a good reason. Each bar is priced at $2.49 in stores, and they are higher in protein and calories, making them a good meal substitute.
And what's great about the GoMacro vegan protein bars is there are 12 different flavors! So if you like a bar with a ton of variety, this one is for you.
Some of the other flavors they come in are...peanut butter chocolate chip, oatmeal chocolate chip, maple sea salt, banana + almond, & dark chocolate + almonds.
Below is the full nutritional breakdown of the banana +almond flavor:

2. Stoka Bar
Next on the list of vegan protein bars is this Stoka bar.
The flavors to choose from are sea salt caramel, peanut chocolate chip, and cocoa almond.
These bars are also priced at $2.49 per bar.
With that said, I think the GoMacro bar is a better value for this price since it has more protein and flavors to choose from.
That said, the Stoka bars are lower in carbs and higher in fat, making them a good low carb option.

These are priced in stores at only $1.00 per bar, making it the best value on the list.
And, for only a dollar you get a bar that has a decent amount of fiber, isn't too high in sugar, and has a moderate amount of protein.

Also, the tangerine zest and wild cherry flavors have 2.5g of probiotics which is beneficial for the growth of healthy gut bacteria.
Now, as far as the price goes, I found the original Luna bar was also only $1.00, making it an excellent value for a vegan protein bar.

The flavors for this bar include crunchy peanut butter, chocolate mint, brownie crunch, espresso, roasted peanut, raspberry truffle, and toasted coconut.

This vega sport protein bar is the perfect post-workout bar. It is packed with 20g of protein, has tart cherry in it, and has 3.5g of BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids).
The tart cherry aids in exercise recovery, and don't worry, you can't even taste it in the bar.
Also, if you didn't know, BCAAs are a group of amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They are the building blocks of protein, and they have been shown to aid in muscle recovery and decrease muscle fatigue and muscle soreness.
This bar is a little pricer at $2.49 in stores, but considering everything in the bar, I think it's well worth the price.
The flavor I found is crunchy peanut butter, and Vega also offers crispy mint chocolate.
