Ultimate vegan protein bars
If you’ve ever stood in the sports supplements aisle debating whether a £2–£3 bar is really worth it… you’re not alone.
I used to rely on shop-bought protein bars for convenience, but over time I realised three things:
They’re often expensive for what you get
They are too calorific and high in fat
And the ingredients? Not always as “healthy” as they’re marketed to be
So I decided to create my own.
And honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever go back!
Simple, healthy ingredients
My version uses:
Dates
Peanut butter
Protein powder
Soya crispies
and dark chcolate
Blended, mixed, pressed, chilled — done.
No use of:
Artificial sweeteners
Preservatives
Emulsifiers and fillers
Perfect for Busy Days
These bars are ideal if you:
Need a quick post-workout snack
Want something easy to grab between meals
Struggle to hit your protein target
They store well in the fridge and can even be frozen, so you can batch-make them and always have something ready.
