I'm always excited to try new vegan products, especially ones that offer protein, so I was excited to take my first bite of these R.E.D.D. plant-based protein bars. They come in delicious and intriguing flavours such as salted caramel, cinnamon roll, and matcha almond. What's amazing is that not only do they offer between eight and 12 grams of protein, but the fibre content is so high — also between eight and 12 grams! No wonder these kept me satisfied for hours.
Keep reading to learn what they're made with, how much protein they offer, and, most importantly, how they taste!
R.E.D.D. Plant-Based Protein Bars
The R.E.D.D. letters in these plant-based protein bars stand for "radiant energy deliciously delivered." They're made with a protein blend of pea, hemp, and pumpkin seeds and also contain dates, nuts, chia seeds, and oats. On the ingredients list is also a superfood blend including maca root powder, reishi mushroom powder, goji berries, acai powder, and turmeric. These bars also offer probiotics.
