Tired of buying protein bars from the store and shelling out all that cash for them? Then make protein bars at home! Here are 11 popular protein bar recipes that I’ve posted on the blogover the years — they’re all no-bake, ultra fudgy, and perfectly sweet. You’d never know they’re refined sugar free, gluten free, vegan, and all natural. Yup, that means there are absolutely no preservatives, high-fructose corn syrup, or artificial flavorings in these homemade protein bar recipes.
This is the perfect time to announce thatthe DIY Protein Bars Cookbookis officially PUBLISHED!
*happy dances*
This was a long time coming. I poured my heart and soul into this book, and I could not be happier to hold these copies in my hand 🙂
The DIY Protein Bars Cookbookis a collection of 48 easy, healthy no-bake protein bar recipes!

From Peanut Butterto S’mores, from Red Velvetto Death By Chocolate(and soooo many more), you’ll be sure to find a favorite. Or three. Or four dozen. 😉
Words cannot even describe how amazing these homemade protein bars are!
.
And there are options for everyone — gluten free protein bars, vegan protein bars, low carb protein bars, etc. Each protein bar recipe is not only healthier than storebought, but they’re cheaper too.
Yes, for real. I even did a cost comparison analysis in the book — each bar costs just a little over $1 to make (anything around $1.12 to be exact!), which means you can save up to $2.07 PER protein bar by going the DIY route.
*jaw drops to floor*
