Mix together all the protein bar ingredients together, except the chocolate we'll use for coating
Do a quick taste test and add sweetener if desired. Since the bars will be coated in chocolate, I tend to keep the filling less sweet.
Shape dough into a rectangular mound, then wrap in plastic wrap or an airtight container, and let the dough set in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, until quite solid.
Slice into bars.
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 20 second bursts until melted, stirring in between.**
Dip the protein bars into the melted chocolate and then set it aside on a clean parchment paper. Drizzle with more chocolate if desired.
Let the chocolate set before enjoying.
Notes
*I used a plant based protein powder in this recipe, but other protein powders should work, too. If using vanilla protein powder, just add an extra teaspoon of cocoa powder.**HERE'S A USEFUL TIP! Add 1-2 teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate to thin the chocolate. This is how I got the really thin white chocolate coating on the bars.
