    I've been trying to find great tasting vegan protein bars that aren't expensive. Anyone have suggestions? Really hoping for at least 10 grams of protein.

    After 35 years of personally using and comparing protein powders I still find Shaklee the best. Many Olympic winners love it. PM me and I will share more.

    Tried them and was not impressed. Nothing beats a good Whey Isolate! :)

    Thats what I use, and I bury it in smoothies. The vanilla flavor is far too sweet on its own. But the amino acid profile is quite good.

    This product....it's expensive, but is the best tasting vegan one IMO
    http://www.iherb.com/Garden-of-Life-Organic-Plant-Protein-Grain-Free-Smooth-Vanilla-9-oz-260-g/63015?CAWELAID=120224250000009902&gclid=CKf38ezDgswCFUdrfgodO7sNxA

    Sunwarrior is my second choice.

    I recently have been loving nugo dark bars! they're vegan and super yummy. 10 grams of protein and relatively low in fat, my favorite is the dark chocolate pretzel flavor.

    I like Orgain and Aloha protein powders - both of them taste pretty great and mix extremely well, even in nut milks. My body doesn't like soy, and thankfully these don't have soy or dairy :)

    Clif Builder Bars. Tasty, affordable, high protein.

    I have recently switched to Essential 10 plant based protein (they have a whey option that I haven't tried). I like Luna Bars but they have soy. I try not to eat them every day but they are tasty and have good protein and fiber. Lara bars are great if you want limited ingredients and no soy.

    I have tried many and I thought the best was Rainbow Light chocolate flavor.

    Lara Bars don't have much protein at all though (I think about 4 grams). They're tasty, but a better source of fat and carbohydrates.

    PlantFusion or their "athlete" brand of NitroFusion are my favorite powders at reasonable prices.

    You can also order your own blends in bulk at True Nutrition and prices are... reasonable. I have yet to try a flavor of theirs that I truly like, though... but that's possibly the blends that I choose.

    My SO prefers Orgain's protein powder, but I find them too sweet for my tastes.

    Good point.

    I like chocolate Orgain, because I can't handle dairy or whey, and it's usually priced lower than other plant based proteins.

    Totally. I'm hopelessly addicted to them - especially the peanut butter flavors!
