5 Healthy Recipes Made With Protein Bars (4 Ingredients or Less)

Hey girls, Lindsey here. I am so excited about our new IdealLean Protein Bars. I’m so serious when I say I have been counting down the days until these launched. Not only do they taste amazingly good, but you can also eat them totally guilt-free as a protein snack!

I’ll say this too, I’m pretty picky when it comes to protein bars. They need to have a good consistency and texture, flavor, and health benefits, and IdealLean Protein Bars tick off every box for me!

Thanks to virgin coconut oil they are extremely soft, our two flavors- Cookies ‘N Cream and Chocolate Chunk are creamy and delicious, plus they are packed with protein to fuel your body and fiber to keep you fuller longer.

You can satisfy your sweet tooth and still reach your fit goals thanks to these guys (and the rest of IdealLean products).

And as if we needed something to make these taste even better, these recipes are amazing and all incorporate protein bars. Read on to get these amazing recipes. And comment below telling me what you tried. I hope you like!
