This isn’t your average protein bar. It’s like a healthy, high protein fudge bar that will fuel your day and satisfy your sweet tooth. Chewy, rich and sweetened with all natural dates, this Almond Butter Protein Bar will not disappoint!
Heat dates and water in a microwave safe mug for 60 seconds. Remove and cover with a towel for 5 minutes.
Toss the dates, water and nut butter into a high powered blender. Process until smooth.
Use a spatula and spoon into a bowl. Add the protein powder and almond flour, mix until well combined.
Evenly separate the mix into two bowls. Add the cocoa powder into one and mix; note it will be sticky!
Take each dough and form into a large ball, making the marbled look. Push firmly into a 8x4 loaf pan (or desired pan) lined with parchment paper.
Freeze for minimum 1 hour. Slice into 8 portions. Store in an airtight container in the freezer. Take out and let sit 2 minutes and enjoy
Notes
-If you are processing the dates, water and nut butter and the mixture is to thick, add only 1 teaspoon of water at a time and use a spatula to get the dates out from under the blender blade before doing so.-You also may want to heat the nut or seed butter so it is a little thinner to work with.-Press these into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, or use silicon muffin liners. They are super easy to pop right out of the freezer when stored in silicon liners too!
