DIY Protein Bars/Balls or Energy Bars/Balls

Soliloquy · 03-31-2018, 07:59 PM

Anyone make their own? I've pinned a few recipes but other than homemade Lara bars (which are delicious) I haven't made any. I want to try. I think. For awhile I was trying to reduce my workload by outsourcing some things that I used to make myself. But it burns me at how expensive these bars are if you want quality ingredients. So, I'm considering it.

Here are some recipes I've found:

Energy balls are in the regular rotation here. I can't remember where I found the original recipe, I make them from memory now. Basically it's:

Oats, natural peanut butter, honey, chia seeds and ground flax seed, a little bit of salt and cinnamon then whatever add in's you want (chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, etc). Roll in to balls then store in fridge.

I'd really like to start making something like this. I've been buying some bars from Aldi's that are basically just dates and nuts, that would be super easy to replicate as long as it didn't break the blender by being too thick.
