Mezcla vs. Other Vegan Protein Bars: How Do They Compare?
Tired of vegan protein bars that look great in pictures but end up tasting chalky and gross?
Worse, those bars are marketed as healthy, but flip the package over and you’ll find a list of junk ingredients a mile long.
No wonder they leave you feeling bloated and tired! They’re basically candy bars in disguise.
Thankfully there’s a better option.
Introducing Mezcla: vegan protein bars made with real ingredients that are actually good for you!
When it comes to vegan protein bars, here’s why healthy snackers across the world are choosing Mezcla over everything else:
A Protein Bar That Feels Like Food, Not Punishment
Other Bars
Most vegan bars taste like something you have to choke down, not something you actually enjoy. Chalky grit from cheap pea protein… sticky, gummy dates that glue to your teeth… flavors that taste more like chemicals than food.
“Oh god hard to describe the taste, but the texture is like ground up chalk. Makes everything really chalky/thick.”
- Reddit user, talking about other protein bars
Every bar is puff-crispy, smooth, and indulgent.
Mezcla flips that script. Every bar is puff-crispy, smooth, and indulgent. Closer to a café-inspired treat than a “nutrition brick.”
With flavors like Pistachio Chocolate and Matcha Vanilla, you get texture that feels light and clean, paired with tastes that feel grown-up, not candy-coated. Proof that plant-based doesn’t have to mean chalky or gross.
“These are DELICIOUS. I am nutrionally aware, and always looking for quick, portable, and most importantly delicious ways to support my health needs. Mezcla absolutely nails that. Some similar bars are a lot closer to candy bars, this is like a perfect granola bar-esque nutrional bomb. Not only are the flavors good but the bite is nice, its not too sweet or sticky, the sugar content is low, the protein is high and they're not too hard or soft. They travel well and oh yeah, they're GREAT. Love it! (not pictured, the pistacho one which is my FAVE)”

Gas, Cramps, & Bloating vs. Comfortable Digestion
Other Bars
Too many vegan protein bars sneak in sugar alcohols or overload you with chicory root fiber. The result? Gas, cramps, and bloating that hit right when you’re supposed to feel energized. Worse? Once you’ve had one bad experience, you start to dread opening another wrapper.
“So I’ve been eating protein bars for the last 2 months and I just identified that it’s the reason for my uncomfortable bloating and why I’m gassy…”
- Reddit user, talking about other protein bars
No sugar alcohols,
No mystery additives
Mezcla is built to work with your body, not against it.
That means no sugar alcohols, no gut-bomb chicory overload, and no mystery additives that leave you second-guessing your snack. So instead of choking down a chalky bar because you need a quick snack, you can actually look forward to a bar that fuels your day without the side effects.
Plus, Mezcla bars are non-GMO and gluten free.
“These bars have everything I need - clean healthy ingredients, free of gluten, vegan, high on protein, low on calories and sugar. I love that they are not loaded with sugar like most bars where you can’t taste anything else. These are flavorful, each one of them, and feel good in your stomach. I love the consistency - crispy and light, perfectly chewy. I also have to mention how beautiful the packaging is. Nicely done.“

Candy in Disguise vs. Globally-Inspired Flavors
Other Bars
Most vegan protein bars lean on the same tired formulas: chocolate, coffee, repeat. And when they try to innovate, the result is usually excessively sweet or strangely artificial. More like a candy bar in gym clothes than something your body actually wants.
“Most vegan protein bars are either too sweet or taste like chemicals.”
“Protein snacks taste horrible… the texture is just gross and the sweetness feels fake.”
- Reddit users, talking about other protein bars
Global Flavors
Mezcla does flavor differently. Instead of recycling candy flavors, we draw inspiration from global kitchens: Pistachio Chocolate, Matcha Vanilla, Maple Blueberry, Hazelnut Chocolate.
Each bite feels like real food. Light and smooth, not chalky, sticky, or fake. So you get balanced sweetness from real, non-GMO ingredients. Never chemicals or palm oil filler.
“These protein bars are super tasty and really handy for busy days! I especially love the pistachio chocolate and matcha vanilla flavors. Super tasty and satisfying, and I love that they're plant based!”

Seed Oils and “Natural Flavors” vs. Healthy Ingredients Your Body Recognizes
Other Bars
Too often, when you flip a bar around, you find a laundry list of “natural flavors,” sugar alcohols, and palm oil hiding under vegan branding. And THAT’s the problem. Labels designed to look clean but read like a chemistry set.
“Palm oil is technically vegan but I avoid it—environmental disaster. Also… what’s the deal with ‘natural flavors’?”
- Reddit users, talking about other protein bars
Non-GMO Ingredients
With Mezcla, what you see is what you get. No palm oil. No sugar alcohol landmines. No mystery “natural flavors.”
Just Non-GMO ingredients you can pronounce. 100% Plant-Based, and Gluten-Free. When you feel good about what’s in your hand, you also feel good about what’s in your body, and what’s on your conscience.
“If you are someone that hates chalky protein bars like me these are the one for you! The have all types of flavors for your preference and are vegan! Which was a huge deal to me, cause I don’t eat animals. Great alternative for protein as well. Love the bars down!”
