If you’re headed out on a day-long hike or need a snack during a long race, protein and endurance bars are a really good choice. They’re usually packed with purposeful stuff like protein or carbs, require no refrigeration and taste like dessert. Not bad, huh? I don’t recommend choosing bars over a real meal when you have the chance to sit down and eat “real food”, but they’re certainly appropriate in certain situations. I recently tried the bars from Vega Sport and I was pretty darn impressed. The were delicious and packed the same punch non-vegan bars do. Vega Sport Endurance and Protein Bars are 100% plant-based, free from dairy, gluten and soy, and contain no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. Those qualities are hard to find and perfect for the growing population of vegans who are both fit and athletic too. Most of these bars tasted great, but in my humble opinion, the Mocha Flavor wasn’t as yummy as the others. My taste buds aren’t the final say on anything, so still give it a try … yours may love it.
