Freezing protein bars is a great way to buy in bulk and extend shelf life. Most bars freeze well for 3-6 months without significant quality loss. Soft and chewy bars actually taste better frozen — they become more like candy bars. Crunchy bars may become harder but return to normal after thawing. The key is proper wrapping to prevent freezer burn.
Follow these steps for best results
Wrap each bar in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This prevents freezer burn and keeps bars from sticking together.
Put wrapped bars in a gallon freezer bag. Squeeze out excess air before sealing.
Write the freeze date on the bag. Bars are best within 3 months, acceptable up to 6 months.
Remove from freezer 15-30 minutes before eating. Or eat frozen — many people prefer the texture.
