I'm always excited to try new vegan products, especially ones that offer protein, so I was excited to take my first bite of these R.E.D.D. plant-based protein bars. They come in delicious and intriguing flavors such as salted caramel, cinnamon roll, and matcha almond. What's amazing is that not only do they offer between eight and 12 grams of protein, but the fiber content is so high — also between eight and 12 grams! No wonder these kept me satisfied for hours.
