Healthy homemade protein bars. Very easy and quick. You know what goes in the recipe! My kids love them! Better than store-bought bars and great for after a work-out or as an anytime snack. Store in covered container in the refrigerator.

  • Mix oats, flaxseed meal, raisins, cranberries, and protein powder together in a small bowl.

I loved the flavor and that it's a simple no bake recipe. Versatile recipe where you can really add or substitute ingredients as you'd like. Definitely a recipe I'll use again and make double batches of. I admit I didn't use the protein powder... Read More

I love this recipe. I double it and add a tablespoon of water at a time until it is a good consistency. I also substitute sun butter for the peanut butter. I cut them into bars and put into snack size zipper plastic bags. yum! Read More

These are candy bars. As I was making them I became concerned about the protein to goodie ratio, so i decided to double the protein powder and add 1/4 c water to soften it. Then after pressing in a square pan I let them set in the freezer 5 hours, which gave them a nice shape when cut. Soft, chewy, delicious candy bars. Yielded 6 bars, 15g protein each, probably a ton of calories, but very yummy. I'll definitely make them again, but I'll cut back on the honey and chocolate chips. Read More

Followed recipe the first time except (?) used dark chocolate chips rather than white. Loved it. Be sure to press it firm in the pan. The second time I made it I forgot to separate and melt the chocolate and peanut butter. So I put the whole mixture oatmeal and all in the microwave for one minute then stirred it all together and put in the pan. Not sure there was any difference except I only dirtied one dish! Read More

Easy to make great snack! It was a little too sweet for me and maybe to much sugar for a low-sugar diet but nonetheless quite tasty! Read More
