Our new homemade Chocolate Orange Protein Flapjacks are a convenient way of getting a protein hit on the go, but without the hefty price tag.

At only 56p per flapjack they are only a fraction of the price of ready-made protein bars, which are often packed with hidden additives and preservatives.

Not only do our homemade protein flapjacks taste incredible, but they are great for a post workout protein pick-me-up with 23g of protein, 21g carbohydrates and only 10g of fat.

A batch is super simple to make, only takes approximately 25 minutes and makes 10 bars in total. They are ideal for bulk prepping ready for a busy week… but the only problem is hiding them from your family and friends. They taste too good to share!
