Protein treats like cookies and bars taste incredible and are quite the treat these days with their chocolate coatings, crunchy bits and caramel centers. They even have protein chips now, would you believe? One thing I have noticed though is that after consuming a lot of these so-called healthy treats, my stomach would be a little upset with me afterwards. We’re talking bloating, gas, or indigestion. That’s because in an effort to keep the calories down, some companies will add all sorts of fillers and preservatives that look good, but aren’t necessarily healthy or easy on the digestive system. That’s why I prefer to make my own protein treats now.
