Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars

 

*Note: I found this recipe on Pinterest from craftycookingmama.com*

 

This recipe is fantastic. Being a busy college student who also works several jobs and tries to maintain his sanity, I often stop and grab protein bars. But I hate to. They are loaded with sugar and sometimes a lot of other ingredients that are hard to pronounce so you know they are highly processed.

So I took to pinterest to look for a good homemade solution. And boy it didn’t disappoint!

This recipe is one of the ones I found on my search. It took me literally 5 minutes to get everything together and make and now I have high protein, moderate fat, low carb bars to snack on throughout the week.

 

Watch me struggle to make them:

 

Here’s the ingredient list:

  • Almondmilk – 1 cup
  • Chocolate Protein Powder – 2 scoops
  • Peanut Butter – 4 tablespoons
  • Cocoa Powder – 1 tablespoon
  • Coconut Flour – 1 cup
  • Coconut Oil – 3 tablespoon
    This is all you need

     

Now here is all you do to make it:

  1. Assemble all the ingredients, measure, and put into mixer bowl.
  2. Turn the mixer to medium mix speed.
  3. Mix until everything is stuck together. You may have to use a hair more almondmilk if it is too dry.
  4. PourĀ into a container, smooth out the top, and cut into squares.

 

Having one of these guys helps tremendously
