No Bake Protien Bars

Jake and I are always on the go and need a quick snack that will fill us up and give us energy. There are thousands of options at the grocery store, but most of the ingredient lists look like this...

If you can't pronounce it ...don't eat it.

There are healthier options such as Luna, Kashi, Cliff and so on. I turned to those for a while but if they weren't on sale I couldn't afford to buy them. I came up with a better, healthier, CHEAPER option! When in doubt make it yourself...

P.B. &  Nutella Protien Bars

2 cups- Quick Oats

3/4 cup- Organic Peanut Butter

1/4 cup- Nutella

1 TBS- Protein Powder (Chocolate or Vanilla)

1/2 TBS- Honey or Agave Syrup

1/4 cup- Peanuts

Mix peanut butter, Nutella, protein powder, and honey together in a large mixing bowl. Place in microwave for 30 seconds to warm through. Fold in the Quick Oats and peanuts. Place the mixture in a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Spread mixture evenly throughout pan. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and press firmly. Place something heavy like a couple of glasses on top of the parchment paper and put in the refrigerator for 1 hour. After they have set in the fridge take them out and, cut into 6 rectangular bars. Serve or wrap individually for a quick snack. Enjoy! 

Love,

 Lex & Jake
