Protein bars are a great portable snack to help meet your daily protein intake goals and satisfy cravings in-between meals. Making your own not only saves money but lets you take control of what goes into them!
Another quick and easy protein snack option here where you can add your own twist (or remove peanut butter as per my teenagers request).
No need to spend unnecessary dollars on those pre-packaged options which often have a long list of ingredients - get onto your own and customise this No-bake Protein Slice!

3 Tbsp maple syrup
