Made with only 5 simple ingredients, these homemade protein bars are healthy and don&#8217;t have any weird ingredients in them. They taste just like a Reese&#8217;s peanut butter cup, only way better for you! It&#8217;s the perfect snack, pre\/post workout fuel, or dessert!<\/p>\n<p>Store bought protein bars can cost anywhere from $2-$5! It can get pretty pricey, so I thought I would make my own. This way, I know I&#8217;m saving money and I know exactly what goes in them. Not only do they taste better than the store bought ones, it&#8217;s nourishing and won&#8217;t spike your blood sugar.<\/p>\n<p>If you are allergic to peanuts or don&#8217;t like peanut butter, you can definitely swap it out for your favorite nut or seed butter. You can also add more sweetener if you like a sweeter bar. I personally don&#8217;t like it super sweet and thought this was the perfect amount. My protein powder was also slightly sweetened.<\/p>\n<p>I used my favorite protein powder by <a href=\"https:\/\/nuzest-usa.com\/?rfsn=4891103.3c023b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nuzest<\/a> (use code: NUTSABOUTGREENS15 to save $$ at checkout). In my opinion, they make the cleanest and best tasting protein powder. I&#8217;m super picky about protein powders and Nuzest has a probiotic protein powder line that is great for sensitive stomachs, like mine. I used the probiotic vanilla in these protein bars and it made it taste so yummy!<\/p>\n<p>These chocolate peanut butter protein bars are super easy to whip up and take literally 10 minutes from start to finish! It not only tastes delicious, but will save you money. If you make these, tag me @nutsaboutgreens on Instagram so I can see your creations!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4450\"
