I made these bars with chocolate protein powder (cause it's all I had) and holy cow were they good. My kids couldn't get enough of them. Definitely making them again.

[@itisgoingtobeOKAY]

I have recently found your channel and legit BINGE watched just about everything, . (I'm not done yet) I love it. You have given me hope and inspiration for this winter. My hubs has a seasonal job where his hours are cut or non existent in the winter. This has helped me see ways I can feed my little family of 4 without spending a small fortune. Thank you again! Also those bars look AHH-MAZING

[@singsongvideolover]

Trisha J I binged, too. Useful ideas in a fun and positive format. I need this in my life!

[@erinlikesacornishpasty4703]

I've been looking for this recipe forEVER!!! Thanks!

[@leahirvine3522]

These protein bars are AWESOME!! I have probably made them at least 10 times! Love them on road trips, camping and make them for new moms for easy snacks :-). Thanks so much for sharing this idea!!!

[@rebeccablashock3829]

These look so so good! Love recipes that you can count the ingredients on one hand. AND no knives or stove involved...(I have some trouble w/ things that are sharp &/or hot...!) Thanks! :D

[@falagi3]

Was looking for something for protein bar recipe and For some reason I really enjoyed listening to all the sides story.

[@beccakosho]

I LOVE your videos! So funny and really great ideas

[@joleendynek2330]

You could spray the measuring cup with oil and the PB should just fall out.

[@FrugalFitMom]

Oh my goodness, that is so smart!

[@jennifermitchell1730]

Don’t microwave your raw honey! Next time place the jar in a pan of hot water and let it come back to a liquid state. Thanks for the recipe! I look forward to trying it. ❤️, Your Beekeeping Viewer

[@Iheart2cook]

@Jennifer Mitchell Thank you, I was going to say the same thing. Even better, scoop out as much honey as you think you will need and then gently heat it in a pot of water. Do not boil! You are cancelling out all the benefits of the raw honey when you nuke or overheat the honey. So sad. I'm not a beekeeper, I am a longstanding customer of a local beekeeper who has shared much of his bee knowledge with me

[@hayleeperez3486]

@@Iheart2cook you put the honey into the water or use a separate container and place in the water when you've scooped it out?

[@Iheart2cook]

Haylee Perez as long as you're not overheating the honey and you're only very gently warming it, you can keep the honey in it's original bottle.

[@kathybray7156]

These look so good ❤

"Love cleaning up that pantry !!! " So i'm not the only one !

[@jessann5581]

I will sure as hell be making those. Yummy

[@jennahall1659]

I want to try these, but I wish you would have shown them after being refrigerated so that we can see the texture and everything from the finished product. Love your channel. Fellow frugal mom here

[@singsongvideolover]

I just found a local honey guy. I'm so excited! Totally making these!

[@ThisHomeschoolingAdventure]

We melt our peanut butter in a glass Pyrex measuring cup for 30 seconds for easier measuring.

[@Kekoko761]

Thank you 🙏

[@donnastratton8397]

TFS! My hubby was a beekeeper for 10 years so no store bought honey for me for a long time. But his heart doctor won't let him do it anymore and we have a hard time finding local honey. We did buy some from a beekeeper in our subdivision but he charged $24.00 for 1 pint jar. Now that may be an okay price IDK, but my husband sold his at a more reasonable price. It was just a hobby for him though. TIP,: get a tiny spatula to help get that peanut butter from the jar, it will get every bit! 😊

[@FrugalFitMom]

$24 for a pint is SO EXPENSIVE!!! I pay about $8 for a quart jar!

[@donnastratton8397]

@@FrugalFitMom Yeah that's more like what my hubby would charge. I'm gonna have to find a different source. 😊

[@DollyJohanne]

I NEED this in my life 😍😍😍😋😋😋 If I not was in the hospital now I would have run to the kitchen and made some 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😍😋 Maybe next weekend when I get home, and for now I will just have a spoon of white chocolate peanut butter from peanut butter & co (accidentally vegan, and soooo yummy 😋). Thanks for sharing 😍😋 Johanne, Norway

[@jennys_journey]

I live in Idaho ha, I love sun valley! I'm seeking to find a homemade recipe for protein bars.

[@liliamrodriguez3020]

Great video

[@ashs3836]

Yum

[@Iheart2cook]

Christine, I have a budget question for you - when you purchase items like honey, protein powder and supplement and such on Amazon, how does that work into your grocery budget? Is that separate? I have one chunk of money I use for food and household all in one chunk so when I see others spending $200 or whatever on groceries, it confuses me and makes me feel like I'm not doing really well, but I frequently find out they have other budgets for these items. Thanks for your help!

[@FrugalFitMom]

My Amazon purchases come from a household budget, which is about $150 a month or so. Some months I spend nothing, and other months is closer to $200. Actually, I would say MOST months I spend nothing. This month I spent about $150 at Sam's getting bleach, dishwasher soap, and other household items. And then I won't need anything for several months again.

[@hplovinmama631]

I wonder if you can use chocolate protein instead of vanilla?

[@dianafeaster655]

These are SO good, but they're really rich. So I melted some monk fruit sweetened chocolate chips and drizzeled it on top and it balanced it out better, for me.

[@FrugalFitMom]

Yes, they are rich!

[@GoAndStay]

If you "nuke it" it's not raw anymore! Put it over hot water to melt the crystals. But don't cook it, then it is not raw anymore. Anyway, the bars look mouthwatering and I will try it.

[@Amanda-ev3lg]

im about to try making something similar with a can of garbonzo beans im trying to get rid of think ill just puree it to death and mix it in

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

Garbanzo beans in a protein bar??? Yuck. I want to see you eat that in a video!

[@xanadunadine1970]

@@Michelle-pn9xt Don't knock it until you try it! If it's made properly, you can't taste the beans.

[@emilygresh]

How many calories are in these?

[@jeansintheyard]

Holy Protein Containers!🤣

[@mandyalley125]

Is it safe to use the microwave on honey? I heard youre not supposed to put honey in the microwave if it crystallizes cuz itll cause it to grow bacteria or something, but to put the jar in hot water to smooth it back out. Im gonna be upset if i just wasted money by throwing away 2 jars of honey thinking i couldnt use the microwave lol (the water trick didnt work so i tossed em) These pb bars look good!

[@desertfamilyhomestead3127]

If you put them in the sun it will liquidise it again. Never, ever throw away honey it doesn't go bad. You should never microwave honey because it removes the nutrients from it. You can put the jar in boiling water, but only do it in small increments, because the more you do that the more processed it becomes.

[@keshiawatson3177]

I love pb but do you have a recipe for homemade protein bar that are not high calorie.

[@FrugalFitMom]

Not yet, these are more for sports people who need the high calorie!

[@Watershake99]

That's the largest container of oats I've seen in my life. I am in awe.

[@amberthistle2803]

As someone who is a beekeeper NEVER put it in the microwave! You are killing all the enzyme benefits that the raw honey has and essentially pasteurizing it. I suggest a double boiler on really low heat just until the honey starts to loosen up. Doing it this way at a low temp allows the honey to retain all the raw goodness.

[@kathybray7156]

Protien ppbballls yum thanks for sharing❤❤😂

[@thriftythriftmom2123]

Do you know if you can freeze these and how long is the shelf life if you cant?

[@FrugalFitMom]

I've never frozen them, the family eats them too fast!

[@thriftythriftmom2123]

@@FrugalFitMommakes sense. Lol.

[@weezer3209]

Do you have to keep them in the fridge? Or will they solidify enough to keep on the counter?

They must go in the fridge!
