Share

There is nothing like a good protein bar to fuel you up before or after a long workout or a school game. It is a healthy grab-and-go snack for a picnic or a weekend outing. Although almost all stores these days carry one kind of protein bar or the other, they come with a price, literally!  Not only are they expensive, they also contain artificial ingredients and too much sugar that do more harm than good.

Home-made protein bars do not take much time and you have control over what’s in them.

Below is the recipe for a popular fruit and nut bar. It contains nutritious almonds and delicious cranberries with a touch of sweetness from honey and syrup to hold it all together. These protein bars are wholesome enough to serve as breakfast and get you through till the next meal.

And the best part is, they are protein packed and healthy but taste like dessert!
