Homemade No Bake Protein Bars

This has become in just a few short days a "Smith Family Favorite".  How do I know?  Because 2 days ago I had enough for a week, but my family discovered them.  So they are kid (and Mom and Dad) tested.

I just made a batch of vanilla and a batch of chocolate.  HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
It should look like this while you are doing and the finished product.  this is exactly how they turn out.
If you make them, let me say this.
You're welcome.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar-free peanut butter
  • 4 scoops (or 1 and 1/3 cups) whey protein powder -- most are low in carbs, but check -- any flavor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Artificial sweetener to taste, about 1-1½ cup sugar equivalent optional
  • Crushed nuts or high fiber cereal to coat

Preparation:

Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix all at once. A mixer works great for this, but a food processor would probably be fine as well, or just a spoon. Then roll into balls. If you like, roll in crushed nuts or cereal.  later in a tupperware with wax paper and do your best to keep your family out of them!
I add some of the cereal or nuts into the batter and it makes it taste like rice crispies!
