No bake chocolate protein bars
Chocolate protein bars are the nutritional bars which provides high amount of protein and other nutrition to the body. These homemade protein bars are delicious and provide extra protein to your diet. And also these energy bars are handy to carry.
I love to make these protein bar at home because they are free from any preservatives, sugar, and any unwanted ingredient (like eggs) . You can also customise ingredients according to your diet.
I prepared protein bars in chocolate flavour because I love dark chocolate but you can prepare it in any other flavours like white chocolate or make it plain without any chocolate.
These protein bars are low in calories and aids in weight management. Taking protein bars as snack between meals can help in reducing overeating. It also satisfies sweet tooth while avoiding blood sugar spikes.

You can make it vegan be using a vegan protien powder. Preparing these DIY PROTEIN BARS also saves money so why not try it.
