Today, I’m excited to share with you my recipe for a homemade protein energy bar that is not only easy to make but also incredibly delicious. The best part is that, unlike fat bombs, you don’t need to store it in the freezer. This Keto protein bar stays perfectly fine in the refrigerator, too.
When you take a bite of this protein bar, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by its taste. It’s reminiscent of those tempting protein bars you see displayed in mall aisles, enticing you with their bold labels proclaiming “Sugar-Free” and “High Protein.”
This is the real thing, you don’t need to feel guilty when you bite into this bar, as a single piece has only 1.3 net carbs, so even if you have two, it is perfectly fine. And mind you, I have cut my bar into generous sized pieces. I had chocolate flavored whey at home, so I made my Keto protein bar with that. But you can try it with other flavors too. I wanted extra crunch, so I did not grind the chia seeds, you can also skip the flax seeds if you don’t like them much. Let me know if you liked it and what was your version.
