12g plant protein, just 5g sugar
A 5 Health Star vegan bar for leaving-the-house days — pea and rice protein wrapped in a dairy-free dark chocolate coating.
Protein without the sugar hit
A treat that pulls its weight. Most grab-and-go bars lean on oats and sugar; these are built around a pea-and-rice protein blend, so each 40g bar carries 12g of protein and just 5g of sugar while still tasting like dessert.
- 12g plant protein per bar — a pea-and-rice protein blend, 30.3g per 100g.
- Just 5g of sugar — 159 Cal (667kJ) per 40g bar, with a 5 Health Star Rating.
- Gluten-free, dairy-free recipe — 0.0g gluten on the panel; 100% plant-based and vegan-friendly.
- No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives — colour from turmeric, sweetness from FOS and brown rice syrup.
- Five flavours, including a mixed box — Pineapple, Salted Caramel, Ginger Crunch, Banoffee or Mixed.
What's in one bar
159 Cal of real-food fuel. Each 40g bar gives 12.1g plant protein, 6.2g fat, 10.8g carbs (just 5.0g sugar) and 154mg sodium, for a 5 Health Star Rating — and the numbers are the same across all four flavours. The full panel and the per-flavour ingredient lists are in the Supplement Facts tab.

Questions, answered
Are Nothing Naughty Plant Protein Bars vegan?
Yes — 100% plant-based. They're built on a pea-and-rice protein blend with almond butter and a dairy-free dark chocolate coating — no whey, egg or other animal ingredients. The recipe is also gluten-free, with 0.0g of gluten listed on the nutrition panel.
How much protein and sugar is in each bar?
12g protein, 5g sugar per bar. Each 40g bar also gives 159 Cal (667kJ) of energy; per 100g that's 30.3g protein and 12.5g sugar. The bars carry a 5 Health Star Rating, and figures shown are for Pineapple and vary slightly by flavour.
Do these bars contain nuts or other allergens?
Yes — almonds and soy. They contain almonds (a tree nut) and soy, and may contain traces of milk, cashews and lupin from the shared facility. Avoid them if you have an almond or soy allergy, and always read the on-pack label, as recipes can change.
What flavours come in the 12-pack?
Four flavours, plus a mixed box. The box of 12 comes as Pineapple, Salted Caramel, Ginger Crunch or Banoffee, plus a Mixed box if you'd rather sample the range. Pick your flavour from the swatch options, then add to cart. Every box holds 12 individually wrapped 40g bars.
Are they gluten-free and dairy-free?
Yes to both. The nutrition panel lists 0.0g of gluten, and the recipe uses no dairy ingredients — even the chocolate coating is plant-based. They're made in a facility that also handles milk, so the label carries a "may contain traces of milk" precaution for anyone with a severe dairy allergy.
How should I store them and how long do they keep?
Keep them cool and dry. Store the bars below 25°C and out of direct sunlight so the chocolate coating stays firm — they're shelf-stable, so no refrigeration is needed. Check the best-before date printed on each individual wrapper before eating.
How do shipping and returns work?
Standard Xplosiv terms apply. See the shipping and returns links in the site footer for the current rates, delivery timeframes and conditions. If a box arrives damaged, melted or incorrect, contact Xplosiv support and the team will arrange a replacement or refund for you.
