DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PROTEIN BARS

Don’t you think it’s MUCH better to do your own protein bars than buying them? Of course! Specially if they are this easy to make!

Most of the protein bars you find in the supermarkets nowadays are full of extra fats, sugars, additives.... and yet people consume them too much!!

So please, try to make you’re own, you’ll see it’s not that difficult :)

It was the first time I made these so they’re smaller than I would like, because let’s be honest…protein bars are always so yummy that you want them to be big and with lots of protein!!

Thus, these are the perfect snack when you’re craving something sweet… and you don’t even need an oven because they don’t need to be baked, therefore… they’re VEGAN as well!

DIABETIC DIET TIP

These protein bars are the perfect snack AS LONG AS your sugar levels are stable or about to start going down. The reason is, these protein bars are covered with a small amount of white chocolate, small but is still white chocolate!

Therefore, always remember that in a high sugar situation, do not consume sweets that contain ingredients that might prevent to stabilize your blood sugar.
