ViveVegan Protein Bars Variety Pack – Dark Chocolate Coated Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter & Hazelnut – High Fibre Snacks, 12 Pack

I have the Variety Pack on repeat order because these are the best protein snack-bars I have found. Thankfully, they contain no malitol, sucralose, or such like, which almost every other manufacturer seems to include.

A little higher in calories (237 kcal for a 50gr bar), but very tasty and filling. Nice as a treat, or to pop in your bag for when you're out and about. For peanut allergy sufferers it is important to note that besides hazelnut this bar also contains a small percentage of peanuts.

Set your expectations – if you’ve never eaten a protein bar before, be aware that they never taste like a commercial chocolate bar. Vegan protein tends to be more dry than non-vegan protein, so if you’re a recent convert or you’re trying to reduce your non-vegan consumption you should be aware there is some compromise (but it’s infinitely better than destroying the planet). With that said, as vegan protein bars go, this is the best I’ve tasted. My hate about protein bars is that emphasis should be on the protein. It’s difficult to find a bar that has more protein than carbs and fat, this bar is better than most but still contains 215kcals, 13g fat and 14g carbs for just 10g protein. As a former competative bodybuilder I wouldn’t recommend this bar if you want to compete, but for the average gym user its not a bad option. What’s good about this bar is that the high fat combats the ‘dry’ feel of the protein to make it palatable and the high carbs are indicative of the natural ingredients – I’d take a couple of teaspoons of natural sugar over chemicals any day. Over all I actually really like these bars – they taste good and are better for the planet than animal-product based bars. I would recommend these over other brands and I will certainly buy them again.

Bought these to try as I'm trying to increase my protein intake for the gym. Can not knock the flavours (I got the variety pack so tried a few), however the only reason I chose the vegan option with protein bars is because I'm lactose intolerant and can't handle milk chocolate and / or whey protein. However the effect these bars have on me does make me question just how vegan these really are.Overall I would say they're not bad, but for me personally, I won't be getting any more in future

Great lil snack for getting me through mornings at work, taste amazing

These are oh-so delicious! And a great way to satiate any chocolate cravings, while enjoying something that is comparably low in sugar. So far, I have only tried one flavour - the mocha. I should like to explore the others in the range (perhaps a variety pack is the best way to go?!), but when you try something that is so utterly delicious, there is the temptation to do a repeat order... It might be worth mentioning, however, if you're not a fan of dark chocolate, these bars are probably not for you, due to the high content of cocoa solids. But for those of us who enjoy our brownies with a healthy dose of flavonoids: Eat up, I say.

I previously gave this 4 stars; it’s deffo the best tasting protein bar I’ve ever had.But unfortunately it made me and my family sick!!Originally only I was eating them and it gave me diarrhoea & IBS flare ups.I was very disappointed but put it down to being sensitive to the chicory root as I already can’t eat many things (gluten, milk, meat, corn, lentils).So just put it down to my annoying stomach.However I then gave my protein bars to my parents…My mum also got an upset stomach and my dad threw up!! No idea what’s going on!! Maybe they’re tainted? But my dad stomach is super tough and he barely ever gets any sort of food sickness/allergy.Very disappointing and slightly concerning?Previous review:I’ve been through my fair share of protein bar brands in an attempt to find one that’s actually decent. These are amazing!!! Not too dry or too gooey, and don’t have that weird aftertaste you get with most vegan protein bars.However… they’re so difficult to open. I had to use scissors to open mine. I’m sure the chronic illness/disabled community has a lot of crossover with the protein bar market, so this is really disappointing.In conclusion: please don’t change the recipe (unless you make a different type of bar with more protein content) and please CHANGE THE PACKAGING :)

I think this might be my first amazon review. Believe me when I say I have tried a lot of different bars to help up my protein. I'm currently breastfeeding and my little one has a cows milk protein allergy so the most common protein bars are just not allowed at the moment. These are just lovely and honestly I can't imagine me going back to my previous favourite fulfil bars. Love that they are packed with plenty of fibre too. If you haven't been sure about buying them, definitely do!
