With people becoming more health conscious these days their focus has also shifted to Protein rich diet which is highly recommended for all the weight watchers who struggle to shed off some extra pounds. To capitalize this opportunity the market is flooded with protein bars these days. They are becoming popular because it’s very convenient to have them in your snack or breakfast and you don’t need to compromise on your protein nutrition. But, that’s also true that these protein bars are priced very high. So, I thought why not make these bars at home and eat healthy everyday. There are two versions of these bars with protein supplement powder (easily available in market ) and without protein powder. Try out this recipe and let me know how it turned out to be. I have made it without honey as people say honey looses its nutritional properties on heating. This is the ‘No Bake’ version of the Granola Bars.
