Chocolate Protein Power Bars
Over the summer, our friends at F45 launched their #F45isNeat protein bake-off competition and boy did we see some amazing entries! The competition encouraged members to make and share tasty treats using our protein as a main ingredient. The winner would take home a bag of naked protein to continue their creativity.
After six weeks of incredible recipes, we couldn’t pick just one winner! Here's Sylvia recipe and check out Hanna's here.
METHOD:
Blend all filling ingredients in a food processor until the mixture begins to form a ball & add water slowly, it may need more or less than ¼ cup. Stop periodically to scrape down sides as needed.
Transfer this mixture into a small parchment-lined tupperware container or baking tray of your choice (I used a 20 x 20cm, but anything of a similar size will do). Press down into a flat even block. Then cover with a sheet of parchment paper and press down more, smoothing out the surface. Freeze for a few hours until firm.
When ready to coat, melt your chocolate in a bowl (double boiler or a bowl over a saucepan of hot water). Stir in the additional coating ingredients. Set aside. Have your toppings handy.
Remove the filling from the freezer. Transfer the, now firm, filling block onto a cutting board. Trim off any uneven edges and cut into squares (or any shape you prefer). Dunk each bar in the melted chocolate to coat. Place coated squares on a wire rack over some parchment paper to catch any drips.
Sprinkle with toppings and drizzle with a bit of the remaining chocolate if you like! Place in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins more to set. Enjoy! Keep leftovers refrigerated.
