Mani butter protein bar recipe

Share an super delicious and super easy peanut butter protein recipe. It is also gluten -free and without dairy!

Hello friends! How are you? I hope you are having a wonderful week. Before our trip, I was preparing a ton of food preparation. With P at home and do the education at home, it has helped me a lot, and it is incredible that children are also supplied with healthy foods and healthy snacks.

Even when I don’t prepare much, there is something that emphasizes: protein. I think the protein is the most difficult macro to hit if it is not prepared and ready to work. When I open the refrigerator and see a raw chicken package or anything else, I will choose anything else hahaha. If the chicken is cooked, I will eat it!

Obtaining enough protein is essential for general health, muscle recovery and staying full and satisfied throughout the day. Whether you are trying to develop muscle, maintain a healthy weight or make sure your daily nutritional needs, protein plays an important role.

How much protein do you need every day?

Although the recommended daily intake varies according to factors such as age, activity level and physical aptitude objectives, a general guide is around 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight for the average person. Athletes or those with active lifestyles may require even more. I discovered that there is a sweet point for protein, and for me, I try to hit at least 100 g per day.

One of the easiest ways to increase its protein intake is to incorporate protein -rich snacks in its day. Something we love: these homemade protein butter bars. They are full of healthy ingredients, easy to make and absolutely delicious, I think you will love them as much as us!

Does peanut butter have protein?

The peanut butter has a small amount of protein, along with healthy fats that help you keep it full and satisfied. On average, a spoonful of peanut butter contains approximately 4 grams of protein. Although it is not as dense in protein as foods such as chicken or fish, peanut butter can be combined with other protein -rich ingredients such as vanilla protein dust or Greek yogurt. Although it has some protein, I consider that it is more a fat in my daily nutrient balance.
