Easy Fresh Strawberry Protein Bars
makes 1 jumbo protein bar = 2 servings
Ingredients
- ¼ cup strawberry puree about 5 medium strawberries
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- ⅓ cup vanilla protein powder*
- 2 Tbsp chopped strawberry pieces
- ¼ cup stevia chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Puree the strawberries either in a small blender (like NutriBullet) or using a mortar and pestle. You can also finely mash the strawberries with a fork.
- Mix the strawberry puree, coconut flour, and protein powder of choice into a bowl and mix well.**
- Add more coconut flour if the dough is too soft, add a teaspoon or more of water, honey or liquid sweetener of choice if the dough is too thick*
- Add some chopped strawberries into the dough for additional texture
- Roll the dough into a rectangular "protein bar" shape
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20 second bursts until melted, stirring in between.
- Dip the protein bar into the melted chocolate and then set it aside on a clean parchment paper. Drizzle with more chocoalte if desired.
- Let the chocolate set before enjoying
Notes
*need to add sugar if using unsweetened protein powder
**I find that it’s best to use my hands to mix the dough because it takes some kneading and pressing to get the dough to come together.
