A quick and healthy, gluten free, no bake chocolate protein bar to take on the go with you to support a healthy lifestyle when in a rush!
Sometimes, I just want a quick, protein packed snack to grab and eat without having to take the time to fix anything..
And that is when these chocolate protein bars come so in handy!
The only store bought bar I will eat typically are Quest Nutrition bars, but sometimes I like to mess around and make my own to keep on hand as well. And this chocolate protein bar recipe was just that, messing around so that I could have a yummy, protein filled snack.
See that yummy puffed rice cereal in there? <3
And with them being no bake, you don’t have to worry about these chocolate protein bars being dry. Just stick em in the freezer, and take out when wanting to eat! And even though you can’t necessarily bring these for later snacking with you as they do need to be kept in the freezer until eating, they are so simple and quick to make, that you just can’t resist making them.
And who doesn’t like chocolate? Even added some cacao nibs in my chocolate protein bars for an extra crunch!
I know my momma and I loveee to eat these when those midday sweet snack attacks come on..And guess what? Unlike reaching for a chocolate bar, these chocolate protein bars satisfy and keep your tummy full! Not too mention, aid in strengthening those muscles you’ve been working on.

The perfect quick and light breakfast, or midday snack, pre/post workout treat, or midnight dessert!
Basically, these chocolate protein bars are GREAT at ANY time of the day 🙂
