Makes 4 bars
Ingredients
Protein Bars

- 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 and sprinkle with dried coconut slices
- Let the chocolate set before enjoying.
Notes
*I used a plant based vanilla protein powder in this recipe, but other protein powders should work, too. If using unflavored protein powder, be sure to add more sweetener.
**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.
