Available in two flavors, Chocolate Peanut Butter or Chocolate Carmel, each Vega Protein+ bar contains 11 grams of plant-based protein from a blend of pea protein, brown rice protein, and peanut butter or almonds (depending on the flavor). Peas, leafy greens, sprouts, and other vegetables can also be found in each bar, as well as 4 grams of fiber coming from chicory root inulin, rice starch, and nuts. A full list of the bars’ ingredients is available online here.
