There’s nothing quite as satisfying as finding a vegan alternative on a shelf riddled with animal-based ingredients.

Finding plant-based protein bars can be especially exciting, given that most true high protein bars use dairy-based ingredients as their primary source of protein.

A balanced diet that meets the recommended daily protein intake of 10-35% of total calories is not always easy to achieve, so a quick protein bar is an excellent way to get in those essential nutrients on busier days.

Not only are proteins involved in every bodily function, from the brain to the immune system, they also support digestion and help your body take in other important nutrients (1<\/a>). According to studies, protein-rich foods are also likely to keep you fuller for longer and provide more energy throughout the day (2<\/a>).

While many of the most nutrient-dense bars use whey as their primary source of protein, vegan versions that are just as protein-rich are out there. Instead of dairy-based additives, plant-based protein bars use plant-based protein sources like nuts, nut butter, pea protein, and soy protein for the extra nutritional boost.

Here are 9 of the most nutritious plant-based protein bars to try, plus a breakdown of the key elements to keep in mind when searching for a bar to add to your vegan snack rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
