Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cup peanut butter, (or allergy-friendly sub)
3/4 cup unsweetened protein powder of choice ((90g))
1/4 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
1/2 tsp salt
4 oz melted chocolate chips, optional
See earlier in this post for five protein bar flavor ideas

Steps:

  • Stir all ingredients except optional chips to form a dough. Either shape into bars with your hands or smooth into a lined 8x8 pan, refrigerate until chilled, then cut into bars. For the optional chocolate coating, spread the melted chocolate over the pan before chilling. (I usually stir 2 tsp oil into the melted chocolate for a smoother sauce, but it's not required.) Or you can dip the bars into the chocolate sauce individually and then chill to set. View Nutrition Facts

PROTEIN BARS WITH BEANS!



Protein Bars With Beans! image

A protein bar with no refined carbs (except honey, which is ok for some people) and possibly no artificial sweeteners (depending on your whey powder). Most of the storebought ones are way too sweet, and this one is not that sweet but it does taste like real food! I use romano beans (Primo brand) because they are softer than most other kinds of beans, but other kinds of beans should be fine. You can use butter or margarine instead of the cocoa butter and canola oil.
