Ingredients

Protein Bars

½ cup vanilla protein powder*
¼ cup coconut flour
3 Tbsp monk fruit sweetener** , or any granulated sugar of choice
¼ cup creamy peanut butter spread 64g , like Jif
6 Tbsp fat free greek yogurt 100g , strained of excess liquid

Deco (optional)

½ cup chocolate chips , melted

Instructions

In a clean bowl, mix the dry ingredients: protein powder, coconut flour and sugar of choice (I used monk fruit sweetener).
Next, mix in the strained Greek yogurt and peanut butter, using your hands to knead and get the dough to combine together.
Add more coconut flour if the dough is too soft, add a Tablespoon or more of Greek yogurt if the dough is too thick
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.
Slice into 6 bars. Keep the bars in the freezer until the next step.
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 Orgain Plant Based Vanilla Protein Powder. Whey protein powder will also work, but the bars will have a slightly gummier texture.

**For the low carb option reflected in the nutrition facts, use a sugar-free substitute such as monk fruit sweetener or erythritol. For stevia powder, be sure to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions

***for vegan options, you can substitute regular greek yogurt with dairy free yogurt such as coconut milk yogurt, but you'll need to reduce the amount added since dairy free yogurt has more water content than greek yogurt. For best results, add 1 Tbsp of the yogurt at a time and stop adding if the dough is wet enough to combine.
