How to Make Your Own Protein Bar at Home 🍫
Making your own protein bar is simple, healthy, and cheaper than store-bought. Here's the formula:
The 33/33/33 Base Rule:
- 1/3 smooth (nut butter or seed butter)
- 1/3 grain (oats, puffed rice, or quinoa flakes)
- 1/3 crunch (nuts, seeds, chocolate chips)
Great add-ins:
Chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, dates, dark chocolate (62%+ cacao), and sea salt flakes
Pro tips:
- Use 4–5x more oats than any other single ingredient
- Add a drizzle of olive oil for binding and flavor
- Salt makes things taste sweeter — no extra sugar needed
- Freeze for 30–60 minutes before slicing for clean cuts
Each bar contains: 20–30g of protein
Shelf life:
- Fridge: up to 60 days
- Freezer: up to 180 days
No baking required — this is pure, simple, real food.
