Who is the Vegan Box of 12 for, and is the box value worth it?
The box is for vegan / plant-based eaters who already know their favourite Barebells Vegan flavour and want the better cost per bar. At $59.99 / 12 bars = $5.00 per bar vs $5.99 single. Made for: vegan meal preppers (12 bars covers ~2 weeks of daily snacks), plant-based athletes keeping a gym-bag stash so post-workout protein is never an afterthought, anyone with dairy sensitivity stocking up without GI worry, and customers who know their flavour. Try a single first — the single bar listing carries more flavours (Caramel Peanut, Caramel Choco Chip, Fudge Brownie) than the box (Chocolate Dough, Salted Peanut, Hazelnut Nougat). Pairs well with: a plant-based protein powder for shake + bar combos, ChocZero chocolate for sugar-free dessert variety. Note: this product is currently out of stock — check back or sign up for a restock alert.
What does Barebells Vegan taste like, and is there a warming tip?
Dense, chewy centre with a smooth real-chocolate coating — slightly softer than Original Barebells. The box-of-12 lineup focuses on the three most universal flavours: Chocolate Dough (the vegan version of the Original best-seller), Salted Peanut (real peanut pieces, salty-sweet finish), and Hazelnut Nougat (closest to a Ferrero Rocher feel). Warming tip: 10–15 seconds in the microwave softens both the coating and the centre for a gooier eat. Don't go past 20 seconds.
What are the macros and how do I calculate net carbs?
Each 55g bar delivers 15g plant protein (180g total per box) with no added sugar (1–2g total sugar) and ~11–12g sugar alcohols (maltitol). Total carbs ~24g; fibre 2–3g; fat 8–9g per bar. Calories vary slightly by flavour — see the nutrition facts panel image on this page for the exact figure. Net carbs formula: Net Carbs = Total Carbs − Fibre − Sugar Alcohols − Allulose (where listed). For exact macros of the flavour you pick, see the nutrition facts panel image on this page. Sensitive eaters: maltitol at high intake can have a laxative effect — pace yourself if you're new to sugar alcohols.
Allergens, gluten-free, vegan/halal, and summer shipping?
Contains: soybeans and wheat (hydrolyzed wheat gluten in the protein blend). Salted Peanut contains peanuts; Hazelnut Nougat contains hazelnuts. Facility also processes: milk, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame. Not gluten-free — not suitable for celiac. 100% vegan: yes. Halal: not specifically marketed; check the wrapper. Informed Sport / Choice: not certified. Storage: cool dry place, no refrigeration needed; long shelf life makes bulk practical. Summer shipping: Default 30-day TNF returns cover opened bars (used ≤ 7 servings). In summer, chocolate may soften in transit — refrigerate flat 1–2 hours to reshape; heat-melt is only covered by Onward Checkout+ (90-day + 5% cash back, ~4% premium at checkout, stacks with TNF Rewards).
How fast is shipping in Canada and what does it cost?

Yes — free store pickup, ready in 30 minutes during store hours. We're at 3575 Av. du Parc, Local 5635 inside Galeries du Parc underground mall, downtown Montreal.
