If protein per bar and a plant-based recipe matter most for a Father’s Day gift, TREK says its High Protein Bars provide 15g of plant-based protein per bar. Nature Valley Protein Peanut & Chocolate and Kellogg’s High Protein Almond & Salted Caramel are other high-protein-labelled options, listing 10.2g per 40g bar and 9.1g per 35g bar respectively; check the recipient’s allergens, preferred ingredients and the current pack before choosing.
Look at the amount in one bar, not just the per-100g figure. TREK states 15g for its High Protein Bars; Nature Valley UK lists 10.2g for Peanut & Chocolate, while Tesco lists 9.1g for Kellogg’s Almond & Salted Caramel. Check the serving size alongside each figure.
TREK says all its bars are plant-based and describes its High Protein Bars as providing plant-based protein. Check the ingredients and allergen statement for the flavour you intend to give.
Check the exact pack before gifting. Nature Valley UK lists peanut, soy and milk for its Peanut & Chocolate bar, and Tesco lists peanuts, milk, soy and almonds for the Kellogg’s option. May-contain statements also matter when the recipient needs to avoid an allergen.
Start with the recipient’s ingredient requirements, then compare protein and the rest of the nutrition panel using the serving size you expect them to eat.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein claim | Read the protein amount per bar and the bar’s weight. For a UK high-protein claim, legislation.gov.uk sets a threshold of at least 20% of the food’s energy coming from protein; a product described as a source of protein is not automatically equivalent. | I want a bar with a clearly stated protein amount, rather than relying on protein wording or a per-100g figure alone. |
| Ingredients | Check whether the exact flavour meets the recipient’s plant-based or gluten-related requirements. TREK describes all its bars as plant-based; Nature Valley UK describes its Protein Peanut & Chocolate bar as gluten free. | If the recipient avoids particular ingredients, I need to check the chosen flavour rather than assume every bar from a brand is alike. |
| Allergens | Read the exact pack’s ingredients, highlighted allergens and may-contain statement. Nature Valley UK lists peanut, soy and milk for Peanut & Chocolate; Tesco lists peanuts, milk, soy and almonds for Kellogg’s Almond & Salted Caramel. | For a gift, I cannot check the recipient’s reaction by trying the bar myself. I need to know their restrictions before selecting it. |
| Nutrition per bar | Compare sugars, energy, saturates and salt alongside protein, keeping serving sizes visible. Nature Valley UK lists 196 kcal for a 40g Peanut & Chocolate bar; Tesco lists 173 kcal, 8.4g sugars and 0.39g salt for a 35g Kellogg’s Almond & Salted Caramel bar. | I would like to compare the whole bar’s label, particularly when choosing between different bar sizes. |
| Gift format | Confirm the flavour, bar weight and number of bars in the pack. Recheck the current ingredients and nutrition information if these affect the recipient’s choice. | A multipack is useful only if the individual bars and their ingredients suit the person receiving it. |
Eat Natural UK labels its Peanuts & Dark Chocolate bar a source of protein and lists 7.8g per 40g bar. That wording should not be treated as the UK high-protein claim, whose threshold on legislation.gov.uk is at least 20% of energy from protein.
If the high-protein claim matters, check the exact product’s current label rather than choosing from its name alone.
The amount eaten in one bar differs between products. Nature Valley UK lists 10.2g protein per 40g Peanut & Chocolate bar, while Tesco lists 9.1g per 35g Kellogg’s Almond & Salted Caramel bar.
Compare the per-bar nutrition panels as well as the serving weights, including sugars, saturates and salt where those values matter to your choice.
The researched peanut-and-chocolate options include ingredients such as peanuts, soy or milk. An allergen statement for one flavour cannot establish what is in another.
Ask about the recipient’s restrictions and read the ingredients and may-contain statement on the exact pack. Do not give a bar carrying a warning for an allergen they have been advised to avoid.
Eat Natural UK and a Joybuy Eat Natural listing give different nutrition figures for their peanut-and-chocolate products. A shared brand and flavour description does not establish that two listings have identical contents.
Use the specific listing’s pack size, ingredients and nutrition panel when deciding what to buy.
These references describe particular bars or ranges; check the exact flavour and pack rather than applying one product’s details to an entire brand.
A plant-based route for a recipient who puts protein per bar first.
Its Protein Peanut & Chocolate bar is a nut-based option described by Nature Valley UK as gluten free.
The Almond & Salted Caramel bar offers a 35g serving with a high-protein label.

A four-bar Peanut & Chocolate pack to consider when the recipient wants a nut-based option. Nature Valley UK lists 10.2g protein per 40g bar for this flavour and identifies peanut, soy and milk ingredients; check the multipack’s current label before gifting.

A four-bar salted caramel nut flavour if that better suits the recipient. Check the exact pack’s protein and allergen information before gifting, particularly if they avoid peanuts, soy, milk or almonds.

An eight-bar pack of the Peanut & Chocolate flavour. Joybuy’s product description states 10g protein per bar; check the current pack’s nutrition and allergen information, especially if the recipient avoids milk, peanuts or soy.
Under the high-protein claim criterion published on legislation.gov.uk, at least 20% of the food’s energy must come from protein. A bar that contains protein or says it is a source of protein should not be assumed to meet that separate criterion.
Yes, if the chosen flavour meets the recipient’s other ingredient requirements: TREK says all its bars are plant-based and states that its High Protein Bars provide 15g plant-based protein per bar. Check the exact pack’s ingredients and allergen statement before gifting.
Check the individual pack, including its may-contain statement. Nature Valley UK lists peanut, soy and milk for its Protein Peanut & Chocolate bar; Tesco lists peanuts, milk, soy and almonds for Kellogg’s Almond & Salted Caramel; Eat Natural UK lists peanuts and soy for its Peanuts & Dark Chocolate bar, with a may-contain statement covering milk and several tree nuts.
The pack identifies the ingredients, allergens, serving size and nutrition for the product being given. Check it against the listing before purchase, particularly when an allergy, dietary requirement or specific protein amount affects the decision.
Do not treat it as an equivalent high-protein-labelled choice: Eat Natural UK describes that 40g bar as a source of protein and lists 7.8g protein per bar. If a high-protein claim is essential, check the label of the exact product you plan to buy.
