Homemade Protein Bars – Vanilla Almond Coffee Oatmeal Protein Bars

Often when we want to lose weight and improve our body composition, we focus on changing our caloric intake.

But, especially if we want to change our body composition and not just lose weight on the scale, we can’t just focus on cutting calories.

If you want to create body composition changes, you need to focus on not only how many calories you consume, but on the type of calories you consume.

Not all calories are created equal.

If you are concerned with building and retaining lean muscle mass (which you should be) while you lose body fat, you need to make sure that you focus on consuming enough protein.

One great way to add in more protein to your diet, especially to support muscle growth from your workouts is by consuming Whey Protein Powder.

Don’t like the taste of protein powder in a protein shake?

These Vanilla Almond Coffee Oatmeal Protein Bars will give you energy to power through your workout so you can build lean muscle mass!
