1. Vegan Organic Energy Bars:
Bearded Brothers makes 7 different flavors of their organic, grain free paleo energy bars. Just like the RXBar, these all natural snacks contain minimal ingredients (6-9 ingredients each).
However, Bearded Brothers makes their bars with organic foods. Plus, they are Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Grain Free and Vegan as well.
These all-organic paleo bars mainly consist of nuts, seeds, dried fruit. They also include natural flavors like vanilla, cacao nibs, coconut, lemon powder or cinnamon (all organic).
And speaking of flavors, they offer several interesting flavor options, so you may want to get a variety pack instead. (Almond Butter Chocolate, Coconut Mango, Ginger Peach, Maca Chocolate, Vanilla Blueberry, Raspberry Lemon and Vanilla Pecan.)
Each bar contains about 180-190 calories with 5-6 grams of protein and 21-26 carbohydrates.
2. Nomz Energy Bites
Next, we found Nomz Energy Bites. Each single service pouch contains 2 bite-sized balls instead of one bar for about the same amount of calories (180).
They have a higher fat content and lower carb count compared to other snack bars, so they can be more satiating.
Flavors include Hazelnut, Coconut, Almond or Pistachio. Once again, they typically contain about 6 ingredients, with nuts for protein, dates for the sweetener and coconut oil for a healthy fat.
These Paleo bites contain no grains, no gluten and no GMOs. Plus, they’re Vegan, Paleo, and certified organic.
3. GFB Gluten Free Bites:
The Gluten Free Bar Store also makes organic, grain-free bites called GFB Bites. Rather than coming in single-serving packs, you get a re-sealable bag containing 5 servings.
Besides the packaging, GFB Bites differ from Nomz in 4 ways. First, one serving is approximately 70 fewer calories (110 vs 180). Second, GFB bites are chunkier with larger bits of nuts.
Third, GFB Bites are mainly, but not entirely, organic. And last, not all flavors are actually Paleo, due to ingredients like brown rice protein and cane sugar. However, the Banana Nut and Blueberry Almond Bites are more Paleo friendly.
4. PaleoBars: Vegan, Organic & Grain-Free
Best Express Foods started in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1989. Their mission is to produce the best high quality baked goods using the finest ingredients and delivering them fresh.
They bake several organic bites and bars using natural, whole foods, many of which are organic. Perfectly-sized for taking on-the-go, an afternoon pick-me-up or a satisfying guilt-free after-dinner treat.
People love the crunchy texture of these bars, and they have both a sweet and savory taste.
Ingredients in Grain-Free Paleo Bars:
As you can see on the nutrition label on the right, this Paleo bar has more fat than carbs. As a result, it’s more dense and satiating. However, if you don’t like high fat snacks, keep this in mind.
