While protein bars can be a convenient way to fuel up before or after a workout, they aren’t cheap to buy at the store. What’s worse is that they often come with a list of artificial ingredients and added sugars, that may do more harm than good. So rather than buy your protein bars from the store, why not make your own. You have control over what you put in it, and it’s gentler on your wallet.
