Protein Bars

These bars live in our refrigerator and when they disappear there is another batch brewing on the counter.  They truly brew on the counter as the raw nuts need to soak in water for 2 hours to soften.

We do most of our shopping at Aldi and Trader Joe’s, if you don’t have one near you, I am truly sorry.  However, you should be able to find similar products elsewhere.  Whatever I can not find at Aldi, I can find online at Amazon, Thrive, or Vitacost.

Here is the original Recipe we used to create this staple in our home, which is fantastic.  The recipe also includes for many options and questions you might have.  We altered it a bit and change it from time to time depending on our ingredients.  Here is the recipe we use now:

8x8 square pan

1 8oz. Pkg raw mixed nuts (soaked) - Aldi- cashew, walnut, macadamia blend

1/2 cup natural peanut butter

1/2 cup Coconut oil

1/4 cup Peanut Butter Powder

1/4 cup shredded coconut

1/4 cup milled flaxseed 

1/4 powdered Swerve or xylitol

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Steps: 

1. Soak entire path of nuts in water for 2 hours.  Drain.

2.  Add All ingredients (except chocolate chips) to blender, blend until smooth.

3. Spread mixture in pan.

4. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top and press in.

5. Cover pan and refridgerate 2 hours.

6. Store in fridge.

7. Cut in squares to serve.
