Homemade Protein Bars

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Unflavored Whey Protein (70g)*
• 2/3 Cup Coconut flour (70g)*
• Pinch of sea salt
• 3/4 Cup Natural almond butter
• 2/3 Cup Honey
• 1 Tbsp Vanilla extract
• 1/4 Cup 2% Milk
• 1/4 Cup Chocolate Chunks

*We encourage you to try other proteins from milk in this recipe as well, simply substitute in place of the called-for protein. Please keep in mind that the nutritional analysis is based on the protein listed in the ingredient list.

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to use as a handle to remove the bars.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the protein, coconut flour and salt.

Step 3

In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, melt the almond butter and honey until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the vanilla extract and then whisk it all together until creamy.

Step 4

Add the almond butter mixture into the protein mixture, along with the milk. Mix until well incorporated and you have a somewhat dry, thick dough.  It can be easier to use your hands to mix at the end.

Step 5

Spread into the prepared pan and place in the fridge for 10 minutes to cool. Then, press in the chocolate chunks.

Step 6

Let refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then slice into bars and DEVOUR!
