Have you ever had the munchies, opened your pantry to peruse the options, then realised every item on the shelves is either in a shiny wrapper or cardboard box? That’s been me for the last two months. No more! I am taking back my breakfasts and snacks with these no bake peanut butter protein bars. My homemade peanut butter protein bars literally taste like a peanut butter cup, minus all the unhealthy and processed ingredients. Unlike many store-bought protein bars, these don’t taste artificial. As an even-better bonus, these bars are my post-workout refuel after a gym day.
Also, we are living in a day and age where you no longer need to go to a health food store or online supplement shop to get your protein bar fix. Every day mainstream grocery stores, supermarkets, and all gas stations will have a range of protein bars. this is great…until you check out the price tag. With packaged protein bars ranging between $3-$6, they certainly aren’t cheap. Convenient? Sure. Cost-effective? Not really. Not to mention their ingredient list which is often similar to an actual candy bar. Not mine though.
When your homemade peanut butter protein bars taste like reese’s peanut butter cup, you know you’ve hit the jackpot. I love knowing exactly what is in these homemade peanut butter protein bars, the ingredients are simple and nourishing, and the cost-per-bar is a fraction of the ones at the store. Plus, so yummy. The texture of these bars is soft and chewy, and they taste like a thick, bakery-style peanut butter cookie. These protein bars are for my peanut butter loving soulmates of the world. And now that I know there are so many of you out there, I should warn you that they are completely addictive. We are talking 12 bars down in 2 days kind of addictive. But it is okay. You are not alone. We can have a pb themed potluck and a PBAA (pb addicts anonymous) meeting all in one. Who wants in?
