Cherry Vanilla Protein Bars
Posted On February 8, 2020
Protein bars are so expensive and most just don’t taste good at all. They also have ingredients that are not healthy. It is hard to find a pure protein bar without paying a ton of money for it! Well, guess what?? You don’t have to look any further. This recipe is so good!! It is free of gluten, dairy and soy. They are filled with pure ingredients, fiber and one of my favorite protein powders from Arbonne. Arbonne’s protein blend consists of pea protein isolate, cranberry protein, and rice protein. Totally, healthy and delicious! You are going to love them!
Cherry Vanilla Protein Bars
I love the flavor that the Arbonne Vanilla protein powder gives to these bars. They are a healthy snack that will satisfy anyone's sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten Free Oats
- 1/2 cup Arbonne Vanilla Protein Powder
- 2/3 cup Almond Butter (I use Raw Almond Butter)
- 3 Tbsp Pure Honey
- 1 Tbsp Chia Seeds
- 3 Tbsp Water (For the Chia Seeds)
- 1/3 cup Dried Cherries (chopped into smaller chunks)
- 1/4 cup Enjoy Life Miniature Chocolate Chips
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 1-2 Tbsp water to help mixture come together
Instructions
- In a small bowl or cup, place 3 Tbsp water and 1 Tbsp Chia seeds. Stir chia seeds in water until all seeds are wet; set aside for at least 5 min. Take another small bowl and add Almond butter and honey. Place this in microwave for 15-20 seconds and stir. This should help to thin down the almond butter and help when stirring with other ingredients. Set aside. Chop the cherries into smaller chunks and have ready to add to the oat mixture.
- Now, in a large mixing bowl; place oats, vanilla protein powder, honey & almond butter, chia seeds, chopped cherries and chocolate chips. Stir this mixture around and then add melted coconut oil. Stir well. Last, add in another 1-2 Tbsp water to help mixture come together and be sturdy enough to stick/hold together.
- Spray an 8 x 8 pan lightly with cooking spray. Press mixture firmly into pan. Place bars in the freezer for 20-25 min. Take out and cut into bars. Wrap each in plastic wrap or into snack size bags for easy on the go breakfast or snack. Store in the refrigerator and enjoy for at least 6-7 days
