blog recipe #43 of 365

Hello everyone 8)
I have had lots of requests for a homemade proteins bars!! so tonight's recipe is exactly that!!  Dont let the ingredients list intimidate you! It is quick and easy to make! Feel free to use any extras or substitute any of the ingredients for others that you prefer.  I sometimes like to put in raisins and dark chocolate chips!  I know I havent been specifying, but I do recommend as many if not all ingredients to be organic!! That way you can be assured that there are no chemicals, pesticides, hormones or anything artificial!!   Enjoy!!!
This recipe is not gluten free, but is dairy free 8)
