I created these bars specifically for a postpartum Mama who wants a treat but also wants something that will stick to her ribs and provide some of that much-needed protein. These have 18g of protein per serving (12 bars).
These are frozen protein bars so they must be kept cold, or yes, they will melt!!
‘Mama Needs Protein’ Bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup protein powder I like whey protein isolate
- 1/4 cup collagen powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup peanut butter powder/flour
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp ceylon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients until well combined. I like to use a stand mixer to help me out.
- Press the mixture into an 8×8 pan lined with parchment paper
- Freeze until solid. Once solid, slice into 12 bars. Store in the freezer and eat right from the freezer! Yum!
