Dessert with a side of gut health!
Sounds too good to be true, right?
Well, plot twist. These chocolate raspberry vegan protein bars are not only delicious and taste like a decadent dessert, but they pack a nutritional punch.
We mixed Ora Organic’s digestion-boosting vegan protein powder (thank you, digestive enzymes) with raspberry probiotic powder to form the mother of all gut-friendly sweet snack.
The kicker? One bar contains only 2 grams of sugar. Not to mention 11 grams of protein with under 250 calories.
Pack these as a mid-day pick-me-up, cut into squares for a perfect kid-sized snack, or whip these up as a breakfast treat. The possibilities are endless.
