Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- ⅓ cup plus 3 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk of choice (almond milk recommended)
Optional Add-ins
- ½ teaspoon superfood powder (spirulina, wheatgrass, maca, or any preferred superfood powder)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the natural peanut butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, and milk using a silicone spatula until the mixture is thick and well combined. If the mix is too runny, add more protein powder or a tablespoon of oat or almond flour. If too thick and unmixed, add a splash more milk to adjust consistency.
- Prepare Pan: Line a loaf pan or suitable container with plastic wrap to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Shape the Bars: Press the thick mixture firmly and evenly into the lined pan forming a large rectangular shape.
- Freeze: Place the pan in the freezer for at least one hour to set and firm up the bars.
- Slice and Store: Remove the set mixture from the freezer, lift it out using the plastic wrap, and slice into 6 to 7 bars. Individually wrap each bar and store them in the freezer for best texture and freshness.
- Serving: Enjoy bars directly from the freezer after they thaw for about 5 minutes at room temperature.
Notes
- If the mixture is too soft, add more protein powder or a tablespoon of oat/almond flour to thicken.
- Use a silicone spatula for easier mixing of the thick batter.
- Bars soften significantly at room temperature; keep them frozen until ready to eat.
- Optional superfood powders can be added to enhance nutritional content and flavor without compromising texture.
