It looks like a big batch of sugar-laden brownies, doesn't it? These aren't brownies...these are Jamie Eason's Chocolate Protein Bars! Try them, they are delicious! Many store-bought protein bars are loaded with sugar and other artificial ingredients. Try making your own so that you have something clean to grab when you are running short on time! You can read more about when we eat these protein bars in the post about our daily food.

He & She Tips: We bake ours for 23 minutes so they are "gooey" like brownies. Once the protein bars have cooled, separate them into Ziploc bags or Saran Wrap so you can grab-and-go! You MUST store these in the refrigerator or freezer as they will spoil because they have no preservatives!
