Have you ever considered making your own protein bars? I used to buy them and eventually stopped because of the costs and because many of the ones I tried just didn’t taste very good. I came across a cool protein bar recipe “how-to” video below and it got me interested in making my own homemade protein bars. There are several advantages to making them yourself:
- No preservatives
- Lower in sugar
- You can add your favorite ingredients (protein powder, nuts, dried fruit, etc.)
- High fiber
- Lower in fat
- Costs much less than store brands
They are a snap to make and I’m sure can last at least a week or more for one person, depending on how often you eat them. Check out the video below. You can find the ingredients in most health food stores or local supermarket.

While that recipe may be good, I can’t have that much sugar (honey) and the pb seems a little much as well.
I just made the following recipe myself, and love it!

I just made protein bars a few weeks ago; next time, I might add wheat germ and honey, those are good ideas.

I am in Florida and I’m trying to find a homemade protein bar that won’t turn into mush when it’s been in my car for an hour. I used to buy EAS bars that looked like partially dehydrated peanut butter, which held up well down here, but I can’t find anything now that doesn’t have a chocolate layer that is going to melt. Thank you.
