Throughout my years of racing and marathoning, I've built up quite a repertoire of favorite no-bake protein bars, crunchy granola, and energy bites. They're not only fantastic for pre/post workout fuel, but energy bars are a quick and healthy breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up.

In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, protein powder, flax, cinnamon, and salt. protein bars. Speaking of protein, not all protein is created equal. In fact, most granola bars are using some type of whey or soy-isolate as their protein source. There is a lot of debate on this and my opinion is they simply aren't the best source of protein. I prefer collagen over any other form of added protein.
