As I’ve mentioned a few times here, I am on a journey to eliminate added sugar from my diet and increase the amount of protein I’m eating. I have yet to cut out added sugars completely, but I have made a huge impact on my diet by just being aware of what ingredients are in the foods I consume.
No Bake Protein Bars
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk* (I used organic whole milk)
- 1 cup all natural peanut butter (I used creamy but chunky would be good!)
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup chia seeds , whole
- 1/4 cup flax seeds , whole
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss old fashioned oats, flax seed and chia seeds with whey protein powder. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine milk, peanut butter and honey over low-medium heat. Stir until the peanut butter is melted and mixed well.
- Slowly fold in oat/seed mixture and stir until well combined.
- Press mixture firmly into a 9x9 pan.
- If using, sprinkle dark chocolate chips on top.
- Let sit until cooled and slightly hardened before cutting into bars. (I cut mine into 9 square bars.)
