Nuts and legumes are full of protein and give you energy. That is, of course, why they're a main ingredient in granola bars and trail mixes. But if nuts are on your no-go list, be it due to allergies or personal preference, it can be hard to find a tasty protein bar.

Ahead, you'll find seven energy bars that are labeled as nut-free but are also tasty and filling. Whether you're looking for a post-workout snack or a feel-good bite in the afternoon, add these to your shopping list.

Enjoy Life Soft Baked Chewy Bars

Enjoy Life's entire product line is free of the top eight known allergens (which include milk, eggs, peanuts, soy beans, and tree nuts), as well as sesame, casein, potato, and sulfites. While the brand produces everything from baking mixes to chocolate chips, the Enjoy Life Soft Baked Chewy Bars ($4 for 5) are among our favorites. Our personal favorite flavor is Caramel Blondie, but we also love Chocolate and Lemon Blueberry.

We are huge fans of the MadeGood Mixed Berry Granola Bars ($15 for 5), but there are other delicious flavors: Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate Banana, Chocolate Chip, and Strawberry.
