Many of the protein supplements and enhanced foods on the market are made with animal-based protein, so the [Ona](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ona-cookies) Treats Organic Functional Fuel Plant Protein Bars aim to offer a vegetarian alternative. The bars are made from all-natural ingredients including pumpkin and sunflower protein that has been mixed with various seeds and nuts that are also naturally high in protein and healthy fats.

The Ona Treats Organic Functional Fuel Plant Protein Bars come in three flavor options including Almond Coconut, Chocolate and Ancient Energy. Each one of the bars is [USDA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-cup-protein-bar) Organic, gluten-free and also enriched with maca and probiotics. The incorporation of probiotics makes the bars a wholesome option that will help to support a healthy lifestyle, while also supporting a balanced digestive tract.
