As a vegan, it’s often challenging to find the perfect snacks with the right amount of energy and calories that are also delicious.

Quality

Bobo’s oat bites are made of quality ingredients. These bites all start with a base of 100% organic rolled oats that contain a host of health benefits that can improve gut health. They are then mixed with clean, verified non-GMO ingredients such as chocolate chips and fruit to help them taste delicious. Additionally, they are also gluten free, vegan, kosher, dairy free, and soy free, which allows many more individuals, regardless of diet, to enjoy these delicious treats. I have been recommending these to all of my friends.

Taste

Bobo’s oat bites are amazingly delicious and it’s easy to eat multiple in a day. I tried the strawberry, chocolate chip, and apple pie bites for this review and truly loved them all. Occasionally, you might bite into one that sticks to the roof of your mouth or is a bit dry, but otherwise, I have zero complaints about Bobo’s oat bites. I could easily eat them every day. I especially love the apple pie flavored stuff’d oat bite. The apple pie mix stuffed inside of it is the perfect balance of sweet and healthy that really does taste like a mini-pie without nearly as much sugar!

Performance

These oat bites are the perfect quick snack for anyone to eat while going on adventures or just living their daily lives. Since I’ve been reviewing them, they have been my go-to snack. I have taken them on hikes and have eaten them while biking around town. They are idea for quick energy when you want something small to keep you going. I also really appreciate how small each serving is. There is always space in my bag for one of these compact, wholesome treats. 

Durability

Bobo’s oat bites are incredibly durable. Many of the vegan and gluten-free snacks I’ve had in the past tend to fall apart or crumble easily when thrown in a backpack or other bag. That’s not the case with these delicious treats. I’ve had a couple of these oat bites in my backpack for over a week and even when squished by books and water bottles, they have still maintained their shape. I’ve been incredibly impressed by this, especially since they are vegan and gluten-free. 

Eco-Friendliness 

I couldn’t find much about Bobo’s friendliness to the earth on their website, but they do make small-batches of their oat bites by hand with quality ingredients, which keeps their footprint smaller than some other companies. That being said, each of their bites and other treats are individually wrapped in plastic so they still have an impact on the environment. It would be great to see them discuss their environmental impact on their website and what efforts they are making to decrease it, while still producing their delicious oat bites.   

The Final Word

I’m a huge fan of Bobo’s oat bites. They are durable, vegan, gluten-free, and delicious, which cannot be said of every vegan snack that is on the market. Even with wanting to know a bit more about their efforts at eco-friendliness, these oat bites are a delicious quality snack that will be one of my go-tos for a while.
