Barebells Vegan Protein Bars Hazelnut & Nougat, 24-Pack

These protein bars are so delicious because they don’t taste like your ordinary protein bars. It tastes like a candy bar ! And the fact they are vegan is a bonus ! And they are also priced lower than the average plant based protein bar. I totally recommend !

So there I was, wandering through Trader Joe’s, minding my own business, when it happened. I spotted the Barebells Vegan Protein Bar - Hazelnut & Nougat. “Oh, another protein bar,” I thought, completely jaded by countless chalky disappointments. But curiosity (and hunger) got the best of me. One bite in, and I blacked out. When I came to, I was clutching the wrapper with tears in my eyes, whispering, “Where have you been all my life?” This thing didn’t taste vegan—it tasted like someone melted a hazelnut dream into a bar and said, “Here, have muscles and dessert.” I did what any rational person would do: I returned to Trader Joe’s the next day and hoarded boxes like I was preparing for the vegan protein apocalypse. But even that wasn’t enough. The fear of running out was real, so I did what any unhinged snack lover would do—I ordered a stockpile from Amazon. Boxes arrived at my doorstep like hazelnut-filled care packages sent by the snack gods. Now, I’m swimming in bars like Scrooge McDuck, and I sleep better at night knowing I’ll never run out. Trader Joe’s employees recognize me, my Amazon delivery driver is concerned, but I have no regrets. 10/10, would panic-buy again. If loving Barebells is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

These are pretty good but also quite expensive for what you get. They taste nice and I like the texture of the outside with the hazelnut chunks. I wish the inside was a bit moister and chewier -- it's pretty dry. The macros could be better but they're good for a candy alternative or a quick protein boost.

I’ve been eating these more frequently because they are so tasty and filling. I have especially enjoyed the plant based hazelnut since I can’t do dairy or gluten. However, I could not figure out why my stomach has so upset…until I was about to reorder and I noticed the warning about a ‘laxative effect’ from the sugar alcohols in tiny print. Come on. Can’t we find something else to use other than Malitol? Never buying again.

These taste great, like a candy bar, but they don’t have much protein, especially for the calories and sugar. Best tasting vegan protein bar, for sure. But I would only get it if you want a less unhealthy candy bar.

Excellent protein bar - tastes great and keeps you satiated to hold you over until the next meal.

Barbells are my favorite protein bars. This is one of my top 3 flavors. Not too sweet which is important to me.

Higher calorie and lower protein content makes this objectively worse than their non-vegan options. It didn’t help the I really didn’t like this flavor vs the other (non-vegan) flavors I’ve tried. Might be worth picking up for vegans, I don’t know of any other vegan protein bars
