4 Ingredient Protein Bar

No Comments

There are so many different protein bars out today but not all are equal in terms of ingredients. If you are grabbing a protein bar as a quick snack or meal replacement it is very important to look at the ingredients. A lot of protein bars tend to be loaded with sugar. One quick look at the nutrition label and you would be surprised by how many are filled with sugar. There are a few options that are low in sugar and actually taste good. Quest Bars and B Up Bars are a couple that are low in sugar but still have good taste. If you are anything like my husband and I you can go through a lot of protein bars and that can add up. I’ll be sharing a recipe with you today so that you can create your own low- sugar protein bars at home.

We can recreate a Quest-like bar with only 4 ingredients. One of the most important ingredients that allows these bars to be low sugar but still sweet is Vitafiber. Vitafiber is a low calorie sweetener that is sugar-free, dairy-free, and gluten free.

In addition to the vitafiber, you will also need Chocolate Milkshake Quest Protein, Almond Milk, and Birthday Cake Buff Bake Protein Spread.

proteinbar1Begin by pouring 2 tablespoons of Vitafiber syrup into a microwaveable safe container (Can also heat up on stove top). Place in microwave for about 15-20 seconds until syrup begins bubbling. Once syrup is heated you will need to move quickly to add in the dry ingredients. Add in 1 scoop of quest protein powder and half a tablespoon of the birthday cake buff bake spread. Pour in a splash of the almond milk and stir. Mixture will begin to harden the more you stir. Add Mixture into a plastic sandwich bag or wax paper. Continue to knead mixture into bar shape and to further harden the bar. You can also put bar into fridge for 5-10 minutes if it is not as firm as you would like.
