Why We Made Our Bars Gluten-Free

Gluten-Free - For Your Gut, Your Body, and Everyone Around You

At Moonvalley, we believe food should be simple, delicious, and something everyone can enjoy-whether you’re a professional athlete, a busy parent, or just someone who wants a healthy snack that actually satisfies.

From the start, our goal was to create vegan bars with real plant-based ingredients instead of something that feels like a candy bar or a protein supplement. That’s why we chose to make our oat-based gluten free vegan protein bars completely gluten-free and dairy-free.

Why gluten-free?

Gluten is a natural protein found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye. For many people-especially those with gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity-it can lead to discomfort, bloating, or a heavy feeling after eating. Even without a diagnosis, some people notice they feel lighter and more comfortable when they reduce gluten.

We wanted to make a plant-based bar that is:

✔ Gentle on the stomach
✔ Easy to digest
✔ A safe and inclusive choice for as many people as possible

So instead of wheat or other gluten-containing grains, we rely on certified gluten-free oats as the base of our bars.

What Goes Into Our Gluten-Free Vegan Protein Bars

Our bars are built around a short, transparent ingredient list:

• Certified gluten-free rolled oats for steady energy and high fibre

• Pea protein as a key protein source, helping you top up your daily protein needs - Deeper comparison pea-protein vs Whey you can read here

• Naturally sweet ingredients like dates and rice syrup instead of relying only on refined sugar

• Cocoa, coconut, spices and other simple ingredients you’d recognise from your own kitchen

You won’t find artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols in our recipes, and because the bars are fully plant-based there are no animal products or dairy. Just real, plant-based protein bars made from carefully selected organic raw materials.

Each bar offers meaningful protein content from plant sources, along with oats that provide fibre and naturally occurring fats-what many people think of as healthy fats-for long-lasting, natural energy.

Some flavours lean into rich chocolate notes, others into bright berries or cookie-dough-style textures, so there’s something for every craving.

The Benefits of Our Gluten-Free Oat Bars

People choose our gluten free bars for lots of reasons:

• They can support easier digestion

• Less risk of feeling bloated or uncomfortable after a snack

• They’re a convenient gluten free snack for the whole family-even kids

• The same delicious taste and clean ingredients, just without the gluten or dairy

• A satisfying alternative when you want something better than a typical chocolate bar

Whether you enjoy chocolatey flavours, bright berry notes, or something in between, our range of vegan and gluten free protein bars is designed to fit into everyday life-on the trail, at the gym as part of your sports nutrition routine, or at your desk between meetings.

A Snack for Real Life

Reach for a bar after a tough workout, during a hike, or with your afternoon coffee and you’ll get more than just a quick sugar hit. Our bars deliver natural ingredients, balanced protein and slow-release energy from oats-without unnecessary additives. For busy days, one bar can even stand in as a small, on-the-go meal replacement when you don’t have time to cook.

We also offer bundles and mixed selections so you can build your own little variety pack of favourite flavours, and many of our online orders qualify for free delivery, depending on where you live.
