Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge DIY Protein Bars (+ Video!)

Dairy Free Gluten Free High Fiber High Protein Keto Low Carb Sugar Free Vegan

Seeing how much I love peanut butter, there’s no questioning why I loved those storebought Peanut Butter Protein Bars. I usually reserve bars for emergency snacks only, since they aren’t the most nutritious snack out there, but they are always great to have on hand since they are satisfying and filling. I also find that bars prevent me from making bad food choices. On one hand, I could go to the McDonald’s drive thru, but on the other hand, I could whip out a couple delicious, Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge DIY Protein Bars… I choose the peanut butter option 😉

But since I reserved bars for emergencies, I made excuses to be in emergencies. For example, I would take way too much time getting ready in the morning just so I would “run late” and have a legitimate excuse to grab a couple bars on my dash out the door… hehehe.

But now that I’m avoiding added sugars, I have cut out storebought bars. Don’t worry though, you won’t be able to tell these protein bars are healthy! They taste too sweet to be sugar free, too fudgy to be vegan, and too peanut buttery to be considered a healthy food. You’ll definitely enjoy (maybe fall in love with?) these Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge DIY Protein Bars.

These Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge DIY Protein Bars are super easy to make and don't require any baking whatsoever! One bite of this fudgy goodness and you'd never guess it's sugar free, low carb, keto friendly, gluten free, dairy free, AND vegan too!

I should call these nutrition powerhouse bars! You just gotta make these soon. And since these are 50 gazillion times healthier than storebought bars, you don’t need to make up any lame excuses like I did 😉
