We like protein bars around my place because they're easy, quick,
& portable nutrition.
However, I don't like the sticker price... nor do I like the oftentimes included 'mystery ingredients'
Here's a super simple, much cheaper way to make them yourself.
P.S. They taste good too.
You will need:
DATES. PROTEIN POWDER. COCOA POWDER. NUTS.
WATER (you have that right?)
~ Into your food processor goes... 10 oz pitted dates, 1/2 C. vanilla protein powder (we use dairy free), 1/4 C. plus 1/8 C. cocoa powder, and 3 T. water. Whirl until mixed.

| Super Nummy Chocolatey Protein Bars. |
~ Add 1 & 1/2 Cups nuts/seeds of choice. I used 1 C. cashews and 1/2 C. sunflower seeds. Whirl until incorporated.
~ You can then smash this down evenly into a square baking pan, then cut into 8 bars...
or if you're me, dump it on the counter and form it into a somewhat even squarish shape and then cut. I wrap them individually in foil and store in the fridge.
These are a killer cure for a chocolate craving. Just sayin.
