| Gluten Free | Protein Packed | Vegan Recipe |
It’s hard finding easy snacks for school. Snacks that fill you up, taste delicious and ones that are healthy. These peanut butter protein bars are all of those and more!
Peanut butter is a great plant based protein, that is full of fiber, zinc, and healthy mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. I love peanut butter in so many ways. The peanut butter in these bars pair nicely with a smoothie, or a fresh, warm coffee!
I have been busy lately with the craziness of school and just regular life responsibilities, so I bring a bar everywhere I go, in case I am hungry on the run. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
