💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Almond butter is healthier, while sunflower seed butter is often cheaper and nut-free.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: cocoa powder

Dark chocolate chips provide antioxidants, while cocoa powder can be a budget-friendly option.

dried fruit

🥗Healthier: fresh fruit

💰Cheaper: raisins

In a large bowl, stir together cereal, nut butter, sweetener, and protein powder until everything is combined and cereal is evenly coated. If you notice your mixture is crumbly, add a small amount more of liquid sweetener.

Line a 8x8” glass pan with parchment paper, then press over cereal mixture.

In a separate small bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time until melted. Drizzle chocolate evenly over cereal, then freeze for 1 hour to set.

Remove the pan from the freezer and lift out parchment paper. Use a knife to cut into 9 square bars.

Store cereal bars in the fridge for up to 1 week or the freezer for up to 3 months.
