Choc Protein Bars

Makes 8 bars

Ingredients

• 1/2c Almond Milk
• 3Tbsp Honey
• 1/3c Nut Butter
• 3TB Crushed Nuts
• 1C Coconut
• 8sc Protein Powder
• maybe some more oil to make the nut butter quite liquid

Directions

I use a normal electric bench mixer for this, when you start adding milk at the end I mix thoroughly after about 1/4C. A little liquid goes a long way without protein recipes so try adding a tsp at a time and mixing for about 30sec slowly. You wanna stop just as it's come together and is sticky

• Mix dry ingredients
• Add nut butter and mix
• Add honey an mix
• Mix should still be very dry
• Add milk until until it's combined and fudgey
• Put it in a dish and sprinkle nuts on top
• Put in fridge and cool for about an hour
• Cut into bars and let dry a little
• Maybe try coating them in coconut if they were too sticky

Alternatives

• 1Tbsp of Orange fiber powder makes a firmer bar that tastes a little like a Jaffa
• Remove the honey for a lot of the carbs - it's not necessary - use Splenda if you need sweetness
• Almond milk could be replaced with coconut cream/milk for more fat and more coconut flavour

Nutritional Facts (each bar)

I can't really fault these. They're high protein, high fat bars so perfect for a snack. Fats are from nuts and coconut so again really good stuff. I make mine without the honey, if I want some sugar PWO then I eat something sugary :)
