Homemade Protein Bars with Protein Powder

I like a tidy house, not perfect, just things put away when they aren’t being used. But sometimes that comes at the cost of being inconvenienced. I don’t have a huge kitchen so I have to get creative how I use the space. I’m always annoyed from reaching and bending just to get out what I need, but I’m doing the best I can with what I have!

As I was grabbing the Vitamix for my son to make a Healthy Blueberry Pear Smoothie I decided that was the last time I was reaching that high for something I use almost every day! I told myself it was time to work smarter, not harder. So it’s on the counter, taking up precious real estate, and that’s where it’s staying.

Because I have limited space, I only store things that are important or useful to us. These Homemade Protein Bars made with Naked Nutrition’s Peanut Butter Powder are one of them! They tuck nicely in the refrigerator and work great for an on-the-go breakfast or in a packed lunch.

Some of our other favorite on-the-go snacks are Easy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Breakfast Squares, Chickpea Chocolate Balls, No Bake Peanut Butter Oat Bars, and Chia Seed Energy Balls!

I am a vegetarian who doesn’t eat a lot of dairy, so I look for creative ways to eat protein. I like to start my day with as much as I can to help keep me from feeling famished throughout the day! One of the easiest ways for me to do that is by putting it in snacks, like Homemade Protein Bars using Naked Nutrition Powdered Peanut Butter!

Are Homemade Protein Bars Healthier Than Store Bought?

They can be. When you make protein bars at home, you control the ingredients, sweetness level, and protein source – without added preservatives or fillers often found in packaged bars.

Do Homemade Protein Bars Need to Be Refrigerated?

Yes, most do – especially no-bake recipes, like this one. Refrigeration helps them stay firm and fresh. If your bars contain perishable ingredients, always store them cold.

Why are My Protein Bars Dry or Crumbly?

This usually means there isn’t enough moisture or fat. Adding more nut butter, liquid sweetener, or milk can help bind everything together.

Can I Customize the Flavor?

Absolutely! Add chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, coconut, spices, or extracts to create endless flavor combinations.

Recipe Notes:

Powder – You can use any flavor of Naked Nutrition protein powder as a substitute.
Honey – You can substitute with maple syrup.
Original Recipe – The original recipe called for 1/4 cup honey; my family likes the texture better using 1/3 cup.
