Minty Vegan Protein Bars

These Health Bars are Made with Dairy-Free Ingredients and Protein Powder

— September 22, 2015 — Lifestyle
Making vegan protein bars at home for pre or after workout snacks has never been easier thanks to this tutorial by Feeding My Addition. This recipe for mint chocolate chip protein bars is an ideal way to get your daily intake of protein alongside enjoying sweet chocolate and minty flavors.

While these protein bars might look like they're full of sugar and dairy, the bars are actually made from specifically dairy-free and nutritious ingredients. The bars call for oat, coconut and almond flour mixed with a nut butter, agave, almond milk and mint and vanilla extracts. The chocolate used in the recipe is dark chocolate opting for a much healthier alternative than milk chocolate. The bars are topped with a chocolate ganache that is made from melted coconut oil and dark chocolate rather than butter.
Trend Themes
1. Homemade Vegan Protein Bars - There is a growing trend in making healthy snacks at home, and creating more protein bars with vegan or plant-based options can tap into this trend.
2. Dairy-free and Nutritious Ingredients - There is a trend towards using healthier, whole-food and plant-based ingredients in snacks and food, and this can be applied to protein bars as well, offering a more nutritious alternative to traditional protein bars.
3. Dark Chocolate in Snacks - As consumers become more health-conscious and mindful of the ingredients in their food, there is an opportunity to incorporate dark chocolate as a healthier alternative to traditional milk chocolate in snack foods like protein bars.
Industry Implications
1. Health and Wellness - The health and wellness industry can capitalize on the growing trend towards plant-based and nutritious snack foods like homemade vegan protein bars.
2. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can offer more dairy-free and plant-based snack options, including protein bars, and tap into the growing demand for healthier and more sustainable food choices.
3. Fitness and Sports Nutrition - The fitness and sports nutrition industry can incorporate more homemade protein bars made with plant-based ingredients and dark chocolate into their offerings, appealing to health-conscious consumers looking for a nutritious snack option.
