Double Chocolate Nut-Free Protein Bars (Keto and Paleo-friendly)
Sometimes it can be tough for anyone on the keto diet to find a quality protein bar. I’ve tried a few different brands and wasn’t really impressed with any of them. So if you’re anyone like me who does a fair bit of experimenting in the kitchen, you’re probably better off making your own low carb protein bars from scratch. The good news is that recipes like this one for making double chocolate nut-free protein bars always turn out perfectly. I’m particularly fond of this recipe because it adds some high quality fat sources into the mix like tahini and unsalted sunflower seeds, so you do get a bit of texture as well. This helps to up the quality fat content to go along with the high protein content, making this a perfect protein bar option for both keto and paleo dieters alike.
