Easy Homemade Protein Bars
I have been making these bars for almost 10 years and we still love them. They are a great snack to keep on hand for kids, and grandkids, and perfect for busy on-the-go people.
Ingredients
- 2 cups creamy organic peanut butter
- 1 1/4 cup Organic Honey
- 2 1/4 cups Arbonne vanilla protein powder
- 3 cups Organic quick oats
Instructions
- Microwave honey and peanut butter for 1 minute.
- Mix oatmeal and protein powder in another bowl.
- Fold the peanut butter mixture into the oatmeal mixture and stir until well blended. (mix will be crumbly)
- Pour mixture into a lightly greased (cooking spray of your choice) 9x13 size pan and pack down.
- Chill for 1 hour and then cut into 28 bars.
Notes
This recipe is hands down my favorite because so many people like it. I have watched many of our guests reluctantly try a bite only to love it and ask for the recipe.
You can dress up the bars to your liking by adding seeds, nuts, dried fruit, or whatever else you can come up with.
A note about the protein powder. Arbonne has now come out with a new formula with only 1 gram of sugar (it is called Simply fit) and I have not tried making the protein bars with this new formulation. I am not sure I will only because the original is such a big hit. I have also not tested this recipe with another brand. The reason for this is pretty simple. I have been using Arbonne since 2009 and know and trust their products and we LOVE the taste of their protein powder. Only once during that time frame did I try another brand when I ran out and no one would drink it at my house. It was a huge waste.
