Super Duper Easy High Protein Bars Nut Free Version!

Just like everyone else in the world I love a good, quick grab and go snack. But I prefer my snacks to be loaded with protein and have only the cleanest, healthiest carbohydrates. Thats how I came up with my super duper easy protein bars. Almonds and peanuts are my go to nuts for quick snacks so of course I looked to those 2 for my protein bars. But one of my best friends has a nut allergy and wanted to try some of my high protein bars.

So if you have a nut allergy or know someone who does you can still make these high quality, high protein bars for them. And there is not any cooking involved so this is a perfect recipe for kids to make on their own! Below you will find the recipe for the nut free version and the extra nutty version for you nutty characters. Enjoy!

Nut Free High Protein Bars
1/2 Cup quick oats
4 scoops whey protein powder (I used vanilla)
1/2 Cup milk or coconut milk
2 T Sunbutter (sunflower seed butter...check the label to be sure it is 100% nut free)
Optional 1/3 C dried cranberries or raisins
Directions: Stir together all ingredients until well mixed. Spread evenly in a small container and put in fridge or freezer for 30 minutes. Take it out of freezer and cut into 5 or 6 bars. Individually wrap each bar using wax paper (aluminum foil sticks we found). Store individually wrapped bars in an air tight container or zip lock bag. I love the way these taste stored in the freezer but you can store in fridge if you'd rather. Grab and go and Enjoy!
