Chocolate Chip Protein Granola Bars - No Bake
Who doesn't absolutely love granola bars? They are delicious which is the most important thing, but they are also an easy healthy go to snack. The sad thing is, store bought granola bars are expensive and packed with refined sugar. We think we are being healthy by eating a granola bar but some of the store bought ones are worse than eating say a Snickers :?
These chocolate chip protein granola bars are easy to make, healthy, and not expensive at all. They are perfect for a quick snack, hiking trips, or even backpacking. To fancy these up a little bit you could add dried fruit or shredded coconut.
