WHY NOT MAKE YOUR OWN PROTEIN BARS?



Protein Bars

1/3 cup of raw walnuts
2/3 cup pitted dates
1 1/2 cup oats
2 scoops vanilla protein powder ( I used Sun Warrior)
2 tbsp Flaxseeds
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/3 cup nut butter OR Almond Butter
3 tbsp water
1/2 cup dark chocolate

Pulse walnuts and dates in a food processor until a crumbled, sticky mixture. Put that mixture along with the rest of the ingredients into a large bowl or mixer and combine well. The mixture will be wet and sticky.

Line a 8×8 pan with parchment paper or foil.  Press firmly into the pan

Melt chocolate and nut butter in a microwave safe bowl. Use the defrost option and stir every 20 seconds until smooth. Spread chocolate and nut butter over the oat mixture and pop into the fridge to set for at least 2 hours

 & lastly......ENJOY!
