Quick and Easy High Protein Low Calorie Ice Cream Bar
Ice cream is mandatory in the summer no matter who you are. But we can choose what kind of ice cream we eat, and although frozen yogurt is a healthier alternative you may still go over your calories without hitting your protein goals. That why I decided to share this high protein peanut butter cluster bar that satisfies my sweet tooth and keeps my macros in line so I can keep losing belly fat.

This is the ultimate high protein low calorie product! It’s so low calorie that one serving won’t break a fast and has the equivalent of 29g of whey protein!
