Where to buy: Amazon I came across these bars when looking for bars to test to find the best vegan protein bars. They had pretty good ratings on multiple sites, so I decided to buy some and put them to the test. The one unique thing about these bars that I haven’t seen another bar claim, is that it has fermented protein. In theory, this should improve digestion and minimize gas (i.e...
Over the past 3+ years, I’ve tried just about every vegan protein powder I could get my hands on in order to find the best vegan protein powder. Many turned out to be terrible, and yet I could only buy them in sizes that cost $50 or more, which sucked. Hopefully my reviews can save you from those bad experiences, but another option is to order samples of your own. Not many companies offer...
During my testing to find the best vegan protein bar, it occurred to me that almost all of them have nuts in them (either peanuts or tree nuts). If you can have peanuts you have a decent amount of options still, but many bars have cashews and almonds as staple ingredients. I went through all the ingredients of bars I’ve tested and found 5 that have no nuts in them. However, not all of them...
Where to buy: Amazon On my quest to find the best vegan protein bars, Whole Earth & Sea’s protein bar came up on Amazon with good ratings. There’s only a single flavor, which makes it easy to rate. Like all the other bars I’ve reviewed, this review is broken up into 3 main sections: protein, taste, and cost. Nutrition and Protein Content of the Vegan Greens Bar If a protein bar doesn’t...
My goal is to find the best vegan protein bar there is. To do that, I bought and tested over 20 plant-based protein bars. I’ll continue to add some over time. PureFit’s Protein Bar was one name that kept coming up in forums, so I wanted to include it in my testing. This review is split into the 3 aspects that I tested all bars for: Protein content, taste, and cost. How Much Protein is in a...
Where to buy: Amazon Everyone knows Clif bars, especially since many types of Clif Bars are vegan. The “Builder’s” bars are Clif’s highest protein bars, so they’re the ones I chose to test in my quest to find the best vegan protein bars. Each bar that I rate is tested based on 3 things: protein content, taste, and cost. Protein Content and Ingredients of Builder’s Bars Here are the...

Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are one of the most recommended plant-based sources of protein. I’ve broken the amino acid profile of chickpeas based on data from a research paper. Note that amino acid content of foods depends on the strain grown, and even where it was grown. That’s one reason why it’s good to vary your protein sources in order to safeguard against variability. Chickpeas Amino Acid...
Most vegan snacks have plenty of calories and carbohydrates, which sucks when you’re trying to hit certain macro targets. When it comes to store-bought snacks that are high in protein, you don’t have too many options. Look for protein bars, trail mix, roasted chickpeas, or edamame beans. If you want more options, you’ll have to rely on homemade snacks. I’ve put together a list here of my 9...
The good thing about a vegan diet is that most foods can be eaten raw without any safety concerns.
