Guide to the best vegan protein bars and snacks available in UK supermarkets

Finding high-protein vegan snacks in the UK used to mean plain nuts and seeds. In 2026, the options are vastly better. Here are the best vegan protein snacks you can buy in UK supermarkets and online, with protein content per serving.

Vegan protein bars

Grenade Vegan Protein Bar

20g protein per bar. Grenade launched a vegan version of their popular protein bar. Flavours include Dark Chocolate Raspberry and Salted Caramel. Uses soy protein. Available at most supermarkets, Holland & Barrett, and Amazon.

Trek Protein Flapjacks

9–10g protein per bar. These are a great everyday option — not as high-protein as a dedicated protein bar, but they taste like a normal flapjack. All flavours are vegan. Cocoa Oat is a standout. Widely available in supermarkets and meal deals.

Nakd Protein Bars

8–10g protein per bar. Made from pressed fruit, nuts, and added pea protein. All flavours are vegan. The texture is softer than most protein bars — more like a date bar. Blueberry Muffin and Caramel are popular flavours.

Fulfil Vegan Bars

15g protein per bar. Chocolate-coated bars with vitamins added. The vegan range uses soy and pea protein. Available at Tesco, Boots, and convenience stores.

Clif Bar

9–11g protein per bar. Most Clif Bar flavours are vegan (check for honey in some). Crunchy Peanut Butter is a reliable choice. Good for hiking and active days. Available at most supermarkets.

High-protein vegan snacks

Hippeas Chickpea Puffs

4g protein per bag. Not a protein powerhouse but a good savoury snack that also delivers some plant protein. All flavours are vegan. Available everywhere including most meal deals.

Roasted Chickpeas

7–8g protein per portion. Several brands make seasoned roasted chickpeas. The Happy Snack Company and Graze both do good versions. A crunchy, high-protein alternative to crisps.

Edamame Beans

11g protein per 100g. Available in ready-to-eat pots from most supermarket chilled snack sections. Itsu sells flavoured edamame pots that are widely available and vegan.

Nut Butter Sachets

8g protein per sachet. Pip & Nut, Meridian, and Whole Earth all sell individual nut butter sachets. Great for spreading on rice cakes or eating straight from the packet. Most are vegan but check for added honey.

The Primal Pantry Bars

5–6g protein per bar. Made from just nuts and dates. Simple ingredients, all vegan, and taste great. Good for a quick energy and protein hit.

Vegan jerky and savoury options

THIS! Isn’t Bacon Rashers

13g protein per serving. Technically a cooking ingredient rather than a snack, but these work surprisingly well eaten cold from the packet as a high-protein savoury hit.

Brave Roasted Peas

6g protein per bag. Crunchy roasted peas in several flavours. All vegan. Good crunch factor.

Quick comparison

For maximum protein per serving, Grenade Vegan (20g) wins easily. For an everyday snack that happens to have decent protein, Trek Flapjacks (10g) are hard to beat. For savoury protein, edamame beans (11g) and roasted chickpeas (7g) are your best options.
