The availability of healthy vegan snacks does not only satisfy a growing dietary demand but they are also good for the environment. Monkey Bar is a brand based in D.C. and it specializes in good-for-you snack bars that help "fuel curiosity and adventure." Its core product is made from organic and vegan ingredients, with no added sugar. Banking on simplicity, Monkey Bar contains only three ingredients—apple, banana, and cashew.
The healthy vegan snack is perfect to fuel you throughout your day, whether you are living an active lifestyle or need a pick-me-up at the office. In addition to being a nutritious addition to your diet, Monkey Bar has committed to donating 5% of its e-commerce sales to the World Central Kitchen with the aim to support those affected by food insecurity during COVID-19. Another 10%, on the other hand, go to the National Bail Out fund which supports black communities.
