Meal Prep and Keto Bar timing

Keto bars are most advantageously used as ‘energy bars’ as apposed to a dedicated source of protein. With that in mind, take your keto bars where your exogenous ketones can’t go!

In terms of shelf life, bars should last at least a week when properly refrigerated and do not lose their great taste easily. Feeling adventurous? Add different flavors of protein powder, or cocoa powder to the mix!
