When to Choose Garden of Life Sport Organic Protein Bar Peanut Butter Chocolate

Certified-organic athletes who need NSF for Sport verification in a protein bar

Garden of Life Sport is the most heavily certified protein bar in this comparison — NSF for Sport, USDA Organic, and Non-GMO Verified. The 20g organic plant protein is impressive for a certified bar. Texture is denser than whey-based competitors, which is typical of plant protein bars.

Strengths

  • Triple certified: NSF Certified for Sport, USDA Organic, and Non-GMO Project Verified
  • 20g organic plant protein per bar — highest among certified organic options
  • Trusted brand with pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing standards

Limitations

  • Dense, chewy texture typical of organic plant protein bars
  • ~6g sugar per bar is moderate — not the lowest available
  • Collection-level product page makes finding specific flavors difficult online

When to Choose No Cow Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Bar

Vegan macro-counters who want high protein and low sugar without dairy

No Cow achieves an impressive 20g protein with 1g sugar in a fully vegan bar. The brown rice and pea protein blend provides decent (though not complete) amino acids. The allulose sweetener is natural but its classification remains debated. Strong macros for the plant-based category.

Strengths

  • 20g plant protein with only 1g sugar — one of the best macro profiles among vegan bars
  • Dairy-free and vegan with brown rice and pea protein blend
  • No artificial sweeteners — uses allulose, a naturally occurring rare sugar

Limitations

  • Allulose classification is debated — technically a rare sugar, not a traditional sweetener
  • No major third-party certifications for purity or banned substance testing
  • Some consumers report a slight aftertaste from the allulose sweetening
