25 Awesome Homemade Protein Bar Recipes to keep the hangry at bay

this recipe

Hey friends πŸ™‚ Happy Friday! Drew is going to be here today and we’ll officially start packing up the rest of the house and moving out this weekend. EEK. (If you missed yesterday’s post, you can catch up here.) I am of course hoping for one last hoorah at The Hershey Pantry tonight, because I need their salmon salad in my life one more time. And probably some kind of dessert… they have the BEST dessert.

Anywhooss. While I was organizing the pantry a few weeks ago and taking inventory of the different foods I have left, I realized I have QUITE a bit of different protein powders stock piled, so it gave me the idea to round up some awesome homemade protein bar recipes for you. Homemade snacks are a great way to save those dolla dolla bills ya’ll and you also get to be picky about what ingredients you use πŸ˜‰

P.S. I’m hoping to get back to the blog sometime next week, but am not sure of how my setup is going to work quite yet! Being in between places for a few weeks, things could get tricky! So bare with me as I take some extra time to get settled and figure out what the heck I’m gonna do.

Until then, here are some of my recent favorites to keep you satisfied πŸ˜‰

This oatmeal Almond Joy Mug Cake made with almond butter and gluten-free oats can be a delicious breakfast or a healthier dessert, you decide! Refined sugar-free and vegan-friendly.

Matcha Coconut Butter Cups. Vegan, gluten-free, and ridiculously tasty!

Β 

Just five ingredients and 10 minutes to the most delicious little ball recipe, these Ginger Berry Energy Balls are bound to be your new favorite! Gluten-free, vegan and so flavorful!

    PS- My sister is a goose. We both had white chocolate blueberry scones from Baker’s today and she said ‘I like the one you made from the cat kitchen blog.’ – mitten = cat.
