Wanted to hit on a topic I get asked a lot about: SNACKS. We all love snacking. In the morning, afternoon, evening, middle of the night. You name it, we want to eat it any time of the day. Most of the time if we don't feed our bodies with snacks, they turn into indulgences and it's a slippery slope from there. Finding healthy snacks that don't break the bank to crush between your meals is tough to do. A lot of solutions revolve around making your own (which can be very time consuming and they usually don't turn out tasting so good). Or we spend a ridiculous amount of cash on pre-packaged protein bars. Ever hear of the company CLIF BAR??? Guess how they got started?
Guy was on a 175-mile bike ride. Got sick of eating nasty energy bars and decided I can make something better than this (BAM! Epiphany). Spends 2 years creating recipes and built one of the most successful natural energy bar companies.
If you want the best you've got to be able to make it yourself. The recipe I give you is for your SNACK TIME! It's a very simple to make and insanely delicious PROTEIN BAR!!! 5 ingredients, a bowl, mixing spoon and a fridge. All you need. Ready to give it a shot?
Homemade Protein Bars
Ingredients:- 3 Cups Oats
- 4 Scoops Chocolate Whey Protein (Feel free to experiment with other flavors)
- 1 Cup Almond Milk
- 1/2 Cup Almond Butter (or Peanut Butter, your choice)
- 3-4 ounces dark chocolate (I prefer 85% Cocoa)
How Do I Make This Stuff?:
- Mix all ingredients (except for chocolate) in a large mixing bowl.
- Place cookie sheet on pan (easy removal of protein bar once complete)
- Spread mixed ingredients evenly on the pan
- Break up chocolate into microwaveable bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes (typically 1 minute/ounce of chocolate)
- Feel free to melt your chocolate on the stovetop (your preference)
- Pour and layer the melted chocolate on top of the ingredients in the pan.
- Place in the fridge for 1-2 hours (to solidify).
- Once complete cut into 8+ pieces
BOOM! There you have it. Homemade protein bars at a fraction of the cost that taste INCREDIBLE!!! I hope this recipe finds you well and helps you on your fitness journey! Please let me know any modifications that worked out for you guys, love sharing!!!
