Square Organics Protein Bars Review
Should They be Your Go-to Snack?

Square Organics are USDA-organic certified, which is another major plus. Their protein bars are also certified gluten-free, verified non-GMO, and dairy-free.

But, let’s see if these brown rice protein bars are healthy for you. Let’s see some more details on nutrition.

Square Organics doesn’t add vitamins and minerals to its protein bars. All micronutrients come from the whole grain brown rice protein.

What caught my eye while going through the ingredients list is that Square Organics chocolate-coated vegan protein bars have no added salt.

Typically, protein bars have added salt to counter the flavor of vegan protein or excessive sugar.

The Square Bars have 30mg of naturally occurring sodium, which is great if you’re watching your sodium intake.

Each chocolate-coated bar has about 200 calories, which makes it an excellent snack option. But, you can also pair it with a fruit for a light and healthy breakfast.

You can also use it as a quick pick me up before a workout or a quick bite in the late afternoon when your sugar cravings kick in.

Depending on the flavor you choose, your Square protein bar will have between 9 and 11 grams of fat. As one of the first ingredients in each Square Organics bar is coconut nectar, the amount of fat isn’t surprising, as coconut consists mostly of fat.

However, what concerns me is that 30–50% of that fat is saturated fat. While saturated fat isn’t the worst thing ever, it’s still not the ultimate healthy food. Too much saturated fat can clog up your blood vessels [3] and result in heart problems. Not to mention it can also cause weight gain.

I already mentioned this, but I like that Square Bars are free from added sugar. The coating is made with dark chocolate and dried cane liquor, which results in a pretty low-carb bar with about 2 grams of fiber that controls the glycemic response.

The cookie dough chocolate bar is the latest flavor and a huge hit. Organic cashew butter makes the base for this flavor. It’s enriched with oats, cacao nibs, vanilla extract, and almonds. All this is covered with a coat of dark chocolate that adds to the overall taste.

The soft, buttery texture and almonds will make you feel like you’re eating a tasty chocolate bar.

You’ll get 90mg sodium, 10g protein, 11g sugars, and 2g fiber per 200-calorie serving.

Coconut mint bar comes with peppermint oil, which gives it its distinct mint flavor. Additionally, the bar also contains organic oats, organic coconut liquor, and organic brown rice crisps — all wrapped in a chocolate coating.

The texture is a cross between soft and crunchy, and the minty flavor is a nice twist on the classic chocolate.

You’ll get 12g protein, 40mg sodium, 2g fiber, and 13g sugars per 210-calorie serving.

The mysterious crunchy ingredients in the chocolate-coated crunch bar are rice crispies. This unusual combination gives a fascinating taste. The texture is creamy and crunchy simultaneously, and the flavor is intense without being too sweet.

You’ll get 12g protein, 40mg sodium, 2g fiber, and 13g sugars per 210-calorie serving.

Out of all flavors, I liked the coconut cherry chocolate bar the least. Now, it doesn’t taste bad. The dark chocolate and coconut oil create a nice, silky texture, but the cherry flavor is too mild. Nonetheless, it’s equally tasty as other Square Bars I tried.

You’ll get 10g protein, 30mg sodium, 2g fiber, and 14g sugars per 210-calorie serving.

Square Bars are an excellent way of adding extra great-tasting protein to your diet. On average, they cost less than other vegan bars and are all-natural. All bars tasted great, but here are some of my thoughts and the main pros and cons of the product:

Square Organics are a good, healthy treat available in a couple of very delicious flavors. Even though they’re packed with protein, I like the Orgain Organic protein bar better. It’s also protein-rich and flavorful, but it has much less saturated fats — about 1.5g.

Orgain Organic is also available in a couple of flavors, is also certified kosher, and it’s even more affordable. Finally, it has fewer calories, so you may want to check that out if you’re tracking your caloric intake.
