We’ve long loved Kind bars as an on-the-go snack, but did you know the brand has a separate, protein-packed line? This one contains a tasty blend of rich caramel, whole almonds and peanuts. Also a heads-up that these babies are 25 percent larger than regular Kind bars.

Protein powders—which can be mixed with water, added to smoothies or even used in baked goods—are another great way to up your protein intake quickly. But when you think “protein powder,” you might think about hulking bros wearing muscle tees. Luckily, it’s 2020, and some companies are realizing that the market for protein powders is much more diverse. The first step toward inclusion? Making cleaner protein powders that don’t contain any animal products. Yep, they’re totally vegan and plant-based. Here, four of the buzziest you can buy right now.

With 18 grams of protein per serving, Aloha’s powders are absolute powerhouses. They’re also low in calories (150 per serving) and sugar (4 grams per serving). This not-too-sweet option is made with organic hemp seed protein, organic pumpkin seed protein and organic pea protein. Plus, it’s made without artificial sweeteners, GMO ingredients, soy or gluten. Wins all around.

OK, we’ll get this out of the way up front: This protein powder is about as bougie as they come. Australian company WelleCo was cofounded by former supermodel Elle Macpherson and has quickly become a hit among Lululemon-clad SoulCycle enthusiasts. This is a plant-based powder made from all-natural ingredients that can be mixed with water, coconut water or smoothies. It’s a combination of brown rice and pea protein that provides all nine essential amino acids needed for recovery post-workout. Yes, it’s expensive, but it also comes very highly recommended by our most fabulous fitness friends.

Unlike the rest of the proteins on this list, Après isn’t technically a protein powder. It’s a vegan post-workout drink that combines plant-based proteins, virgin coconut oil and coconut water. The chicly packaged beverage comes in three delicious-sounding flavors (mint chocolate, chai spiced vanilla and sea salt chocolate) and is available as a subscription via the Après site.

Made from raw hemp seeds, Nutiva’s powder contains 15 grams of protein per serving, as well as all 20 amino acids (including the nine essentials recommended for post-workout). It’s also vegan, certified organic and non-GMO, as well as a great source of essential fatty acids and dietary fiber. Unlike non-organic, soy-based protein powders, it’s gently cold-pressed without hexane, a chemical solvent. It is a bit bland tasting, though, so you might want to blend it into a smoothie with some more flavorful mix-ins.
