It appears I’m on a protein bar kick this week and I can’t be stopped. But I didn’t think you would mind too much….because… snack time just got a lot tastier!
These Protein Bars are easy to make, filled with wholesome ingredients and 3 types of almonds – almond flour, almond butter and chopped almonds. Loaded with fiber, protein (10 grams of per bar) and healthy fats, they are ideal for breakfast, snacks, or even dessert.
The chewy texture, sweet, salty flavor and chocolate topping make these a treat you will keep coming back to. These bars are filled with fibre, protein and healthy fats making them a winning recipe in all the ways.
It’s the perfect not too sweet and salty snack that stores in the freezer and makes a great addition to a lunch, a healthy snack or even dessert. Easy to customize, these homemade protein bars are gluten-free, grain-free, vegan, and packed with protein.
Paired with my fave protein powder, these bars are as functional as they are delicious. I’ve tried other recipes where the bars essentially fall apart, no bueno. These babies hold together like an absolute dream. If you are a fan of sweet and salty, the chocolate and flaky sea salt topping will seal the deal!
Some pictures say a thousand words, others make your stomach rumble and some, well, they just do both. This no-bake protein bar recipe is a gift from the dessert heavens. It’s hard to believe they are refined-sugar-free but what isn’t hard to believe is just how good they taste.
Although this would make an extra special treat to entertain with as its so stunning looking, it would make an even better treat to keep hidden and indulge for yourself! Oh my!
Made with pantry staples, these delightful almond bars are full of healthy goodness. It’s a simple meal prep snack to kick the 3pm energy slump all week long. I know meal prepping your snacks might sound a little boring and unnecessary, but hear me out: snacks can be a powerful tool for upping your nutrition!
That’s right, snacking isn’t a bad habit- it can actually be incredibly useful in maintaining stable energy levels, adding in extra nutrients, and preventing you from arriving at the next meal STARVING and eating past satiation. The real thing to focus on isn’t snacking itself, but what snacks you choose!
Listen, I know it can be easy to reach for packaged snack foods. They are easy, convenient, and tasty- aka the criteria for a go-to snack. But when I’m focusing on snacks as a nutrition tool, I also like to make sure my snacks are balanced and satiating too, so they actually keep me full until the next meal.
