6. No-bake oatmeal protein bar

Much like smoothies, oatmeal is a healthy breakfast item, and these bars come in handy when you don’t have the energy to turn the stove on (or it’s too hot to dig into something warm). What you need: oatmeal, almond butter, honey, protein powder and chocolate chips – done. After you’ve formed the bars, they need to sit in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes, so just plan ahead.
