If you are looking for more high protein snack recipes, you will love this Vanilla Chai Protein Mug Cake, Peanut Butter Protein Muffins, Almond Butter Quinoa Butter Snacks and definitely this Protein Granola!
These would be extra delicious with some Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte, Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate or even some Spiked Apple Cider!
Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!
Why You Should Make White Protein Bars
Who can relate…you have a few weeks of eating great and working out and then all of a sudden, you’re super busy, stressed out and you have no healthy foods prepared?
Most of the time, I really make an effort to eat well, drink a lot of water, sleep well and exercise at least 4-5 times a week. And then spring sports for the kids started.
And work has been super busy. Something has to give, right? Lately, that’s been my meal preparation. And that is SO important to maintaining a balance, at least for me.
I need that structure and planning in order to keep me on track. And just like that, I stopped prepping.
I started feeling tired, grumpy and stressed. I wasn’t working out enough either never helps. Until yesterday. I started prepping meals and snacks again, slept 8 hours last night and made time for a run. And because of all that, I’ve created these protein bars for you!
Since these are require no baking, these are a quick and easy snack. They offer a good mix of protein, healthy fats, and carbs to keep you full and energized.
How To Make These White Chocolate Protein Bars
Mix the ingredients in a bowl, put them in a baking pan and set in the freezer for 30 minutes.

PinSlice them into bars and enjoy.
PinI keep these vegan bars in the refrigerator for a quick snack (or sometimes breakfast!) and the kids love them too!
Full disclosure here… I would love to say that I make homemade bars and snacks all the time for my kids, but that is simply not true. I don’t always have the time to make them (even ones as easy these!) and that’s ok.
Moms are always feeling guilty about not doing everything for our kids, am I right?
We need to let that go. We are all doing the best we can. And the truth is, if you are a mom that does feel guilty, that means you care an awful lot.
At least that’s how I see it.
