TRUBAR Vegan Protein Bar — Buy Single Bar in Canada | Top Nutrition & Fitness Montreal
Finally: a vegan protein bar that actually tastes like the thing it's named after. TRUBAR breaks every rule about what plant-based protein bars are supposed to taste like — dry, chalky, and sadly virtuous. These are soft, fudgy, and flavoured with names like Smother Fudger Peanut Butter and Daydreaming About Donuts. At 12g of plant protein and 190 calories per 60g bar, TRUBAR earns its place on our shelf by delivering where every other vegan bar falls short: taste and texture.
About TRUBAR
TRUBAR is a Canadian-born, female-founded brand created by Erica Groussman under the parent company TRUBRANDS. Launched in 2018, the brand set out with a single mission: make plant-based protein bars that people actually want to eat. No chalky textures. No ingredient lists requiring a chemistry degree. No compromises on flavour.
TRUBAR bars are made with a short list of recognisable whole-food ingredients — almonds, cassava, pea protein, brown rice protein, cane sugar — and certified by the Non-GMO Project and Kosher. The brand has grown rapidly across North America, appearing at Costco Canada, Whole Foods, Target, and Walgreens. Every bar is:
- Certified Vegan
- Non-GMO Project Verified
- Kosher Certified
- Gluten Free
- Dairy Free
- Soy Free
- No Sugar Alcohols
- No Preservatives
- No Seed Oils (no canola, no sunflower seed oil in the base)
Why We Carry TRUBAR at Top Nutrition & Fitness
We taste-test everything before it goes on our shelf. Most vegan protein bars we tried before TRUBAR had the same problem: the moment you took a bite, you knew it was a "healthy" bar. Dry. Grainy. A faint protein-powder aftertaste. TRUBAR was different the first time we tried it.
The Smother Fudger Peanut Butter has a genuinely dense, fudgy texture with real peanut flavour — not the synthetic peanut-butter-flavour-compound you get in most bars. The Oh Oh Cookie Dough has chocolate chunk-like pieces and a soft dough centre that holds its own against whey-based bars. For our vegan and plant-based customers, TRUBAR is the answer to the question they keep asking: "Is there a vegan bar that actually tastes good?"
We carry these as single bars so you can try every flavour before committing to a box.
Key Benefits
- 12g plant-based protein per bar from whole grain brown rice protein and organic pea protein
- High fibre — 11–13g dietary fibre per bar from tapioca fibre and cassava blend
- 190 calories — satisfying without being a meal replacement
- No sugar alcohols — no erythritol, no maltitol, no bloating
- Whole food ingredients — almonds, cashews, peanuts, real cacao, sea salt
- Soft, fudgy texture — not hard, not dry, not chalky
- Vegan and soy free — safe for most dietary restrictions
- Kosher and Non-GMO Project Verified
Who This Bar Is For
- Vegans and plant-based eaters who are tired of settling for inferior-tasting bars
- Dairy-free and lactose-intolerant consumers who need a whey-free option
- Soy-free dieters — TRUBAR uses no soy whatsoever
- High-fibre seekers — 11–13g of fibre supports digestive health and sustained satiety
- Gym-goers and active professionals needing an on-the-go protein hit between meals
- Anyone avoiding sugar alcohols that cause digestive discomfort
- Kosher diet followers
TRUBAR vs. the Competition — Comparison Table
| Bar | Calories | Protein | Sugar | Fibre | Vegan | Soy Free | Sugar Alcohols | Price (Single, CAD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TRUBAR | 190 | 12g | 5–8g | 11–13g | Yes | Yes | None | $4.35 |
| Misfits (UK) | 176–180 | 14–16g | 1–2g | 4–5g | Yes | No | Maltitol | $3.29–$4.99 |
| Quest Bar | 190 | 20–21g | 1g | 12g | No | No | Yes | ~$4.50 |
| Grenade Carb Killa | 214 | 23g | 1.4g | 6.7g | No | No | Yes | ~$4.50 |
TRUBAR is the only bar in this comparison that is simultaneously vegan, soy free, and free from sugar alcohols. Quest and Grenade deliver more protein but are not vegan and use sugar alcohols. Misfits has a higher protein count per bar but contains soy and uses maltitol. TRUBAR wins for clean-label, whole-food plant-based eating.
Flavour Guide — Which TRUBAR Should You Try First?
| Flavour | Taste Profile | Best For | Key Ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smother Fudger Peanut Butter | Rich, dense peanut butter fudge with real cocoa notes and a sea salt finish | Peanut butter lovers, savoury-sweet fans | Peanuts, cocoa powder, sea salt, pea protein |
| Daydreaming About Donuts | Sweet vanilla-glazed donut flavour, soft and doughy texture | Those who want dessert without the dairy | Almonds, natural flavours, palm oil, pea protein |
| Oh Oh Cookie Dough | Classic chocolate chip cookie dough — chocolate chunks, vanilla, slight crunch | Cookie dough obsessives, first-timers | Cashews, fair-traded cacao, unsweetened chocolate, vanilla bean specks |
| Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough | Chocolate-forward dough with a slightly different chip distribution and bolder cacao | Dark chocolate and cookie dough fans | Cacao, cassava, pea protein, natural flavours |
Our recommendation for first-timers: Start with Smother Fudger Peanut Butter — it showcases the fudgy texture best. Oh Oh Cookie Dough is the crowd favourite for dessert-seekers.

Customer Reviews — What Our Customers Say

"I have tried every vegan protein bar on the market and TRUBAR is the only one I actually look forward to eating. The peanut butter one is unreal."
"Bought one to try and ended up ordering a box the same week. The texture is nothing like a typical vegan bar."
"Finally a protein bar I can eat without the sugar alcohol stomach issues. Genuinely delicious."
Frequently Asked Questions
Is TRUBAR actually vegan — no hidden animal products?
Yes. TRUBAR is certified vegan by a third-party organisation. There are no dairy derivatives, no whey, no casein, no honey, no eggs, and no gelatin. The protein comes entirely from plant sources: whole grain brown rice protein and organic pea protein. The bars are also soy free, which is unusual for vegan protein bars.
Does TRUBAR contain sugar alcohols like erythritol or maltitol?
No — this is one of TRUBAR's defining characteristics. The bars are sweetened with organic cane sugar rather than sugar alcohols. This means no bloating, no digestive side effects, and no artificial sweetener aftertaste. The trade-off is a slightly higher natural sugar content (5–8g per bar) compared to sugar-alcohol-sweetened bars, but for most people this is a welcome exchange.
How does TRUBAR compare to whey protein bars for muscle building?
TRUBAR delivers 12g of complete plant protein per bar. This is lower than whey-based bars like Quest (20–21g) or Grenade (23g), but TRUBAR is not trying to be a meal replacement — it is a high-fibre, moderate-protein clean snack. For post-workout support after training, pair TRUBAR with a full plant-based protein shake to top up your total daily protein intake.
Are TRUBAR bars nut-free?
No. Most TRUBAR flavours contain tree nuts or peanuts: the Smother Fudger Peanut Butter contains peanuts, Oh Oh Cookie Dough contains cashews, and Daydreaming About Donuts contains almonds. TRUBAR bars are not safe for people with nut allergies.
Where are TRUBAR bars made, and why does the label say imported?
TRUBAR is a Canadian brand (trubar.ca) with manufacturing operations in North America. The bars sold at Top Nutrition & Fitness are sourced through official Canadian distribution channels. "Imported" on our listing reflects our retail categorisation for products sourced outside Quebec, consistent with Canadian labelling practices.

Pourquoi nous vendons TRUBAR chez Top Nutrition & Fitness
Nous gouttons tout avant de le mettre sur notre etagere. La plupart des barres de proteines veganes que nous avons essayees avant TRUBAR avaient le meme probleme : des que vous en preniez une bouchee, vous saviez que c'etait une barre "santé". Seche. Granuleuse. Un faible arriere-gout de poudre de proteines. TRUBAR etait differente des le premier essai.
Le Smother Fudger Peanut Butter a une texture vraiment dense et fondante avec un veritable gout de beurre de cacahuete — pas l'arôme artificiel de beurre de cacahuete que l'on trouve dans la plupart des barres. Le Oh Oh Cookie Dough a des morceaux semblables a des pepites de chocolat et un centre de pate moelleux qui rivalise avec les barres a base de lactoserum.
Avantages principaux
- 12g de proteines vegetales par barre provenant de proteines de riz brun complet et de proteines de pois biologiques
- Riche en fibres — 11 a 13g de fibres alimentaires par barre
- 190 calories — rassasiant sans etre un substitut de repas
- Sans alcools de sucre — pas d'erythritol, pas de maltitol, pas de ballonnements
- Ingredients d'aliments entiers — amandes, noix de cajou, cacahuetes, veritable cacao, sel de mer

Foire aux questions (FAQ)
Est-ce que TRUBAR est vraiment végane — sans produits animaux caches?
Oui. TRUBAR est certifiee vegane par un organisme tiers. Il n'y a pas de derives laitiers, pas de lactoserum, pas de caseine, pas de miel, pas d'oeufs et pas de gelatine. Les proteines proviennent entierement de sources vegetales : proteines de riz brun complet et proteines de pois biologiques. Les barres sont egalement sans soja.
Est-ce que TRUBAR contient des alcools de sucre comme l'erythritol ou le maltitol?
Non — c'est l'une des caracteristiques distinctives de TRUBAR. Les barres sont sucrees avec du sucre de canne biologique plutot que des alcools de sucre. Cela signifie pas de ballonnements, pas d'effets secondaires digestifs et pas d'arriere-gout de sucre artificiel.

TRUBAR fournit 12g de proteines vegetales completes par barre. C'est inferieur aux barres a base de lactoserum comme Quest (20–21g) ou Grenade (23g), mais TRUBAR n'est pas concu pour etre un substitut de repas — c'est une collation propre riche en fibres et moderement proteinez.
Les barres TRUBAR sont-elles sans noix?
Non. La plupart des saveurs TRUBAR contiennent des fruits a coque ou des cacahuetes. Le Smother Fudger Peanut Butter contient des cacahuetes, le Oh Oh Cookie Dough contient des noix de cajou, et le Daydreaming About Donuts contient des amandes. Les barres TRUBAR ne sont pas sures pour les personnes allergiques aux noix.
