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 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!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 1/2 cup Peanut Butter
- 3/4 cup Naked Nutrition Peanut Butter Powder
- 1/3 cup Honey
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips, Melted
- 2 tsp Oil
How to Make Protein Bars
- Put 1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 3/4 cup Naked Nutrition peanut butter powder, and 1/3 cup honey into a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Press evenly into a 8 x 8 pan.
- Melt 1 cup chocolate chips with 2 tsp oil in the microwave, stirring in 30 second intervals until smooth and melted.
- Pour over the peanut butter mixture and spread to coat evenly.
- Refrigerate until firm, then cut into bars.
- Store in the refrigerator.

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 these Protein Bars using Naked Nutrition Powdered Peanut Butter!
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.
