I get so bored with my snacks and am always looking for something to spice up my snack game.
These bars are the perfect snack to pack when you’re on the go or to munch on at home. They are also SUPER easy to make and taste amazing (my husband keeps going back for more).
I like to use Vega Protein Smoothie Powder in mine but you can use whatever protein powder you love!
I have also made this recipe and rolled the mixture into balls instead of bars, which make a perfect small snack for the kids! If you make them into balls and not bars, follow the same recipe just roll the mixture into balls before freezing. You should get about 20 balls.
