So, if you follow me on Instagram, or know me personally, you know I workout. I also work a physical labor job. I’ve been wanting to come up with a protein bar recipe for a while now. All the ones I’ve ever tried taste really strongly of protein, or are just altogether gross. That’s why I came up with this recipe.
I know some of the ingredients sound kinda weird together, but I wanted to put as many high protein foods together as I could, but obviously still taste good.
All 8 ingredients are PACKED with protein!! Just look them up and you’ll see what I mean. I used Aim Vanilla Protein powder, but next time I think I’ll try a different flavor. Aim protein powder is by far the best I’ve found. It’s stevia sweetened, no fillers, and a nice smooth texture without tasting chalky.

When working out, protein is vital for having a good strong workout, and most importantly for recovery! It helps your muscles perform their best, and to rebuild after a workout. Always make sure you are getting the correct amount of protein in your diet. Whether it’s through protein powder, or the foods you eat!!
