High-Protein Snack Bars Made with Whole Foods (Gut-Friendly & No-Bake)

This is how to make high-protein muesli bars at home - cheaper, healthier, and better tasting than anything you’ll buy at the supermarket. Most store-bought protein bars are packed with sugar, preservatives, and unnecessary additives. And they’re expensive. When you actually read the ingredient list, it’s mostly nuts, oats, seeds and syrup - all things you can buy yourself. In this video, I’ll show you how to turn simple whole ingredients into homemade protein bars that: • Are high in protein • Contain fibre from chia, oats and nuts • Use natural peanut butter as a binder • Can be fully customised • Cost far less than commercial bars 00:00 Why store-bought protein bars aren’t worth it 00:50 Ingredients overview (fully customisable base) 02:45 Preparing the pan 03:00 Mixing the dry ingredients 04:05 Why grinding chia seeds matters 05:00 Making the peanut butter “glue” 06:30 Combining and binding everything together 08:00 Pressing into the tin properly 09:30 Chilling and setting 10:30 Final texture and results Homemade Protein Bar Recipe (20cm / 8” square pan) Base Ingredients 1 cup rolled oats ⅓ cup chopped peanuts ⅓ cup chopped cashews 2 tbsp sesame seeds 20g popcorn (optional but great texture) 5 chopped dates Handful dried cranberries ½ cup protein powder 2 tbsp chia seeds (ground) Pinch of salt Binder ½ cup natural peanut butter ⅓–½ cup honey or maple syrup Press firmly into lined pan.
