I love a good protein bar; protein bars are everywhere…It’s hard to find a good protein bar.
Protein bars are everywhere gas stations, coffee shops, grocery store…You can’t get away from them.
They are the best go-to when you’re in a rush right, stuck in traffic and all you can think about is fast food.
Did you know…
Not all protein bars are created equal… and after many of my own experiences with bars and their not-so-truthful labels, I have come started making my own protein bars. I’m sharing one of my favorite recipes with you.
I love this recipe because it’s only 5 ingredients, even more important you know exactly what you’re putting in your body. You will never want to purchase a store-bought bar again.
That's why the ingredients matter so much to me.
Take care of your body, it's the only one you've got.
Don't be one of those people who only value their health after they've begun to lose it.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup Peanut butter, natural
90 gm Protein Powder, (I like Herbalife vegan chocolate or Isagenix vegan chia) but you can use any powder of your choice!)
1/4 cup Maple syrup (pure; honey, or agave)
1/2 tsp Salt
8 tbsp Dark chocolate chips (melted; optional)
Instructions
Stir all ingredients except optional chips to form a dough. Either shape into bars with your hands or smooth into a lined 8x8 pan, refrigerate until chilled, then cut into bars. For the optional chocolate coating, spread the melted chocolate over the pan before chilling. (I usually stir 2 tsp oil into the melted chocolate for a smoother sauce, but it's not required.)
Enjoy!
