These bars are perfect for “drying out” because they are packed with protein, contain healthy fats to keep you full, and use zero flour or added sugar.
The Ingredients
- The Base: 2 cups Chocolate or Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey or Casein).
- The Binder: 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (natural, no added sugar) or Almond Butter.
- The Liquid: 4–6 tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (add one tablespoon at a time until the texture is dough-like).
- The Coating: 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate chips (at least 85% cocoa) melted with 1 tsp Coconut Oil.
Preparation Steps
- Mix: In a large bowl, combine the protein powder and the nut butter. Mix until crumbly.
- Bind: Slowly add the almond milk, one tablespoon at a time. Knead it with your hands until it forms a thick, pliable dough (similar to play-dough). If it’s too dry, add a tiny bit more milk; if too sticky, add more protein powder.
- Shape: Roll the dough into rectangles (bars) as seen in your photo, or press the mixture into a parchment-lined square pan.
- Chill: Place the bars in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
- Coat: Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave. Dip each chilled bar into the chocolate until fully coated.
- Set: Place back on parchment paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes until the shell is crunchy.
