Snack Attack?!? Why not grab a snack that's high in protein.

If you're anything like me, you look forward to your daily snacks. Those little in between treats that get you through to your next meal. They can be healthy, satisfying and taste great without throwing you off your goals. A protein bar with peanut butter will definitely give you that little extra energy and the oats are great for helping lower your cholesterol.

Feel free to add in cinnamon or raisins for extra flavor and texture. These protein bars are low in sugar but taste great.

TIP: Buy expensive items in bulk (such as oats) and pre-portion them into single-serving containers to grab an on-the-go snack.
