No-Bake Chocolate & Vanilla Protein Bars
I love making my own quick and easy bars.. You know exactly what you're putting into it and they are perfect to take on-the-go!
These bars are great to eat pre or post workout or as a snack throughout your day to keep your energy levels up as it contains protein, healthy fats, carbohydrates and essential nutrients. They can even be made gluten-free by using gluten-free oats.
I love using a vanilla plant protein powder for most bars and slices I make as it gives it a naturally sweet taste and adds that extra protein!
