]]> Protein bars are often hailed as one of the healthiest snacks on the market, but do they really deserve the reputation they’ve earned? Contrary to popular belief, protein bars aren’t as healthy as we’d like to believe, and here are three things that will change the way you look at them.

Protein Bars Are High in Sugar

Protein bars may be rich in protein, but they contain many unhealthy ingredients you should stay away from, starting with sugar. In many cases, they contain almost the same amount as regular chocolate bars, in addition to artificial flavorings used to enhance their taste.

Always Check the Labels

Sugar and artificial flavorings aren’t the only unhealthy ingredients that protein bars contain. They can also be extremely high in fat, processed oils, and calories, but that’s not always the case. That’s why you should always check the label of a protein bar before buying it and make sure it meets your nutritional needs.

Try Making Your Own

If you don’t want to give up protein bars, you should consider making your own. Homemade protein bars are an amazing snack because you’ll be in control of all the ingredients being used. By doing so, you’ll be able to ditch sugar, artificial flavorings, and high-fat ingredients, making sure that your protein bars are as healthy as it gets.

]]> Food companies are constantly trying to figure out ways to make their snacks healthier. Already there has been an influx of new healthy snacks in the stores in 2020. We’re sure you are wondering if they’re actually good for you and whether they taste good. 

Here are some of the tastiest healthy snacks on the market to get you through the day when you want to eat everything in sight.

Larabar Protein Bar

Protein is being added to tons of snacks at the moment and these protein-filled bars by Larabar are filled with 11 grams of plant-based protein from peas and nuts. Keeping you full for longer and sweet enough to satisfy those chocolate cravings.

Hippeas Organic Chickpeas Puffs

Throw out the cheese puffs and snack on these organic chickpeas puffs by Hippeas; they are vegan and gluten-free. If you are trying to stay away from the chips and dips at parties, bring some of these with you to keep you satisfied.

Enjoy Life Lentil Chips

We already tried baked chips but now we are getting lentil chips by Enjoy Life. They are gluten-free and very tasty with a dusting of salt. You won’t even remember what normal chips taste like after eating these.

Bear Naked Granola Bites

Bear Naked granola bites are a great way to take your breakfast on the go or enjoy 1 or 2 for an afternoon treat. They are filled with fruits and nuts and are delicious and healthy.

]]> If you’re a gym lover looking for perfect protein bars to enjoy after your workout, you know how difficult it can be to find the ones that are actually healthy and free of artificial sweeteners. Making your own is sometimes the best possible option, and we’ve got a recipe just for you.

Brita, who runs the blog Food with Feeling, shared a recipe for homemade protein bars she enjoys after her yoga and pilates classes. All of the ingredients are plant-based, and adding chocolate is optional, so you can easily adapt the recipe to your own post-workout habits.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B7JSig6BlWq/

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup of dates, pitted and lightly packed
  • 1 cup of natural nut butter (a drippy kind is best)
  • 1/2 cup of flaxseed meal
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup of coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 cup of plant-based protein powder
  • 3–6 oz of dark chocolate (optional), some for top and some for bottom of bars

Instructions

  1. Put all of your ingredients (minus the chocolate) into a food processor and process until fully combined. You’ll know it’s ready once you can roll the mixture into a ball and it stays together easily.
  2. Once the mixture is ready, dump it all in a square dish. Press it ALL in there really good, until it’s nice and tight and compact.
  3. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  4. Melt dark chocolate and pour over top.
  5. Refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully dried.
  6. Once the chocolate is fully hardened, cut out your bars in whatever size you so desire.
  7. If desired, drizzle chocolate over top of the other side of the bars, let chocolate harden.
