[title-subtitle-heading subtitle=”Raw Choc and Almond”]Home Made Protein Bars[/title-subtitle-heading]
I recently went to the supermarket to buy some snacks and I noticed a popular muesli bar was on special, and in my tiredness didn’t read the ingredients. When I got home I check out the back to see raw sugar listed as number one!!! Now I am not I quit sugar fanatic but to the have the first two ingredients of the bar to be sugar and syrup, I wasn’t impressed
I have always wanted to make these. When I am super super lazy or busy I always reach for a bar and now that I have these in the freezer I have clean, sugar free bars on hand! This is a hands on recipe. It requires a lot of smooshing and squishing and is a lot of fun to make. Enjoy!
