HOME-MADE CHOCOLATE CRUNCHY BARS (no bake!)

1 cup brown rice cereal (sth like the rice krispies, but no GMO, please)

1/2 cup oat flour

1/2 tsp salt

2 scoops whey protein (can omit and replace with more oat flour...but be careful not to add too much otherwise he bars will fall apart)

1/2 cup + 2Tbs peanut butter, sugar free

1/2 cup agave (can use stevia instead and add more peanut butter.. OR reduce the oat flour)

dark chocolate, melted

mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl. heat the peanut butter in microwave just until soft. add the agave and pour everything into the dry ingredients. stir the mixture into a baking tray and press hardly with a bottom of a glass. press really hardly. choose a baking tray that is not too big otherwise the bars will be too thin. pour over the melted chocolate and put into the freezer for a couple of hours. cut out 10 bars, wrap them in the alu foil and store them in the freezer. don't forget to pick one before leaving the house  these make a perfect snack on the go.

macros with whey protein:

14g protein, 25g carbs, 10g fats, 250 cals. (9g protein w/o whey)

why are they good for you?

-agave is a low-glycemic sweetener and unlike sugar, it is not processed so it maintains all the nutrients. but most importantly, agave contains inulin that can be effective with weight loss because of its ability to suppress appetite, it has a low impact on blood sugar, it reduces cholesterol and increases the absorbtion of nutrients. agave is also rich in calcium! but agave is STILL a sugar, so don't abuse.

-PB contains large amounts of dietary fiber which help to control blood sugar and cholesterol levels. 

-this sweet bar won't make your blood sugar spike because it's rich in fiber, protein and healthy fats

enjoy!
