Today I am going to be preparing these healthy, homemade, high protein, delicious Penut butter, Twix bars 😋
You will find the full recipe in my video below 👇🏼

Firstly lets talk a little about why I prefer making homemade snacks and treats, over store bought.
Homemade snacks can often be more beneficial for weight loss and a healthy lifestyle, compared to store-bought ones, mainly because you have control over the ingredients and portion sizes. Store-bought snacks can be high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, preservatives, and high-calorie additives that contribute to weight gain.
I love making snacks at home as I can:
Use whole, unprocessed ingredients.
Control the amount of sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats.
Customize portion sizes to prevent overeating.
Choose healthier cooking methods like baking or air frying instead of deep frying.
Always note, that weight loss ultimately depends on your overall calorie intake and nutritional balance. If homemade snacks are made with calorie-dense ingredients or are consumed in large amounts, they could still hinder weight loss or affect your healthy lifestyle habits. To maximize the benefits, opt for nutrient-dense, low-calorie options like fresh fruit, nuts in moderation, vegetable sticks with hummus, or yogurt-based snacks and choose healthy ingredients, as we do here, when baking and cooking.
