When junk food cravings strike, having healthy, delicious snacks within reach is key. Opting for an energy bar, protein bar, or even a healthy granola bar can keep you from going off the rails at the vending machine, or worse, steering your car into the nearest fast food drive-thru. Unfortunately, finding a good health bar at the grocery store can be tricky. Box after box of store-bought bars is loaded with sugar, a surprising amount of fat, unwanted preservatives, and other incomprehensible ingredients. It’s easy to find yourself squinting at the nutritional fine print and wondering how that supposedly healthy snack is any different from a candy bar.
We’ve got you covered with these delicious, nutritionist-approved Beachbody bars recipes. Some, like our Homemade Energy Bars, are simple, no-bake recipes using Shakeology and other wholesome ingredients. Blitzed in a food processor, they are ready in mere minutes and make quick meal prep snacks. Others, like our tempting Cranberry Crumble Bars and No-Bake S’mores Bars involve a few more steps, but the results are worth it.
