TREK Protein Energy Bar 16x55g Kakao Chaos

One of the best vegan bars I have tasted, arrived promptly and great value .

Good value, and very very tasty. Fills you up, tastes healthy with fruity overtones along with the chocolate taste. Use them as a mid afternoon energy boost. What I like is that you don't want to eat more than one, one is ample. Very happy, glad I bought.

I've been batch buying the Cocoa Chaos flavour every month since 2015 and find they work great as a healthy snack to keep me going between meals and ward off hunger pangs. The cocoa chaos flavour and quility has remained consistant throughout the batches I have purchased. The cocoa chaos is 33% dates, 15% soya, 13% fruit juice concentrate, 12% Raisins, 8% oats, 8% cashews and 4% cocoa powder. The remaining 7% is listed as soya flour, natural flavourings & rice starch. Personally I see nothing that puts me off eating these everyday. The coaoa chaos bar is 27g carb, 4g fat, 10g protein, 300mg sodium, 23g sugar. For this the sugar content seems high but I estimate 16g of it come from the dates and raisens. I personally am far more worried about looking out for refined sugars than the natural ones found in this flavour.

Being a peanut butter obsessive looking for vegan snacks, I chose the Peanut Power flavour. It's cheaper buying here than in shops. I like the taste and that there are crispy bits throughout the bar to balance the otherwise relatively soft texture. I've had countless of these bars over the past few years and they've always been lovely. I also like that the ingredients are mainly natural: dates; soya protein crunchies; fruit juice concentrate; peanut butter; raisins; peanut; gluten free oats; soya flour; natural flavourings; rice starch; salt. Each bar has: 203 calories; 6g of fat (1g saturated); 25.7g carbohydrates; 21.1g sugar; 3g fibre; 10.2g protein; 0.4g salt; 0.5mg magnesium. Yes that is quite a bit of sugar but I am yet to find a decent vegan snack bar that has a low amount of sugar and a relatively high amount of protein. It's important to bear in mind that the sugar is from fruit rather than added refined sugar. I always keep a couple of these in my bag and one in my car glove compartment! The Trek Protein Flapjacks are also lovely. Please let me know if you found this review helpful by clicking the button below. Thank you.

Always buy our trek bars off or MYSUPPLEMENTSHOP as they work out at a good price to buy in bulk. They usually have discounts too so that works out even better. Really nice bars and great value for money

Nothing to dislike
