I have been making these bad boys on repeat lately so I had to share! I love the combo of peanut butter and chocolate and the nutrition facts are on point with 12 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber per bar!

As well as being really easy to make, these bars are healthier than your average treat as they are made with wholesome REAL food ingredients. With the added protein powder it makes them more balanced than the traditional high carb recipe.

Old fashioned baked recipes always had tons of sugar, carbs and fats. The new modern way it to add protein making the recipe more balanced and healthy. Eating protein-rich foods has many health and fitness benefits, including:

Speeding recovery after exercise and/or injury
Reducing muscle loss
Building lean muscle
Helping maintain a healthy weight
Curbing hunger

A well-balanced diet with proper ratios of macro nutrients (protein, healthy carbs and fats) provides all of the: energy you need to keep active throughout the day. nutrients you need for growth and repair, helping you to stay strong and healthy and help to prevent diet-related illness. When you find your optimal balance and amounts of macro nutrients, you take a major step toward reaching your health goals and this balance has been improved in this recipe by the addition of healthy protein.

Your body can only absorb around 25-30 grams of protein at one time and you  likely need 80-100 plus grams a day so its important to spread it over all meals and snacks throughout the day so you can meet your required amount. It makes it easier to get your quota when you can eat it in a delicious and healthy treat like this recipe that is both indulgent and wholesome.  Each bite is a perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess, making these bars a favorite among both kids and adults.
