Low Sugar Dairy Free Protein Bar Recipe
If you’re sensitive to dairy and/or gluten, it’s darn near impossible to find a healthy, low sugar protein bar without a million additives and so-called “natural” ingredients you can’t pronounce.
But this dairy free protein bar meets all those criteria and more.
First, let’s talk about what’s not in it. These DIY protein bars are free of:
- Dairy and animal milk ingredients
- Gluten
- Soy
- Added sugar
- Junk ingredients and additives like “flavors“, gums, and other fillers
Each bar is just over 250 calories, with 10 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, and just 3 grams of sugar.
Try this low sugar, high fiber treat that’s perfect for people of all ages (including kids … my toddler definitely approves)!
