Healthy Protein Bars Recipe
We LOVE these healthy protein bars! My husband takes them to work and it gives him that extra mid-afternoon energy. This 9x13in dish of protein bars is packed with 120g of Protein. Ingredients * 1 cup instant Shaklee protein (Shaklee vanilla protein works too) * 1 1/2 cups oats * 1 cup almonds/walnuts, chopped * 1/2 cup sunflower seeds * 1/4 - 1/3 cup ground flax seed * 1 1/4 cup natural peanut butter * 2/3 cup raw honey * 1 tsp pure vanilla extract Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Heat honey on a stove until it starts to come to a boil. Remove from heat immediately so it doesn't burn and add peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir until peanut butter is nice and smooth. Add the peanut butter/honey mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir ingredients together until they stick. If mixture seems too dry, add extra peanut butter or honey. Press mixture into a 9x13in glass dish. We like to melt some dark chocolate chips and spread the melted chocolate on top of the bars.
