RED VELVET PROTEIN BARS

RED VELVET PROTEIN BARS

Another great recipe from Laura over at Girl Gainz follow her blog or over on instagram   for training tips, recipes and nutrition plans

 

Servings: Makes 5 bars 

Macros per bar: 185kcal / 13.5g protein / 14g carbs / 7.5g fat / 3g fibre 

 

Ingredients:

2 scoops vanilla or chocolate protein powder

80g oats (regular or gluten free) 

50g almond butter

1 tbsp Choc Shot (available from the hot chocolate aisle of most supermarkets) 

Dash of almond milk

1 tsp red food colouring

15g milk chocolate chips 

Optional - white icing pen to decorate

 

Instructions: 

1. In a blender or food processor grind oats & protein powder into a flour. 

2. Add almond butter, Choc Shot, food colouring & almond milk & mix until stuck together. Add the milk a TINY bit at a time (the mix should be thick like cookie dough). 

3. Place mix in a square tin of choice, lined with baking paper or cling film (for easy removal). I use a disposable foil brownie tray, available in most supermarkets when I make these to save washing up! 

4. Flatten mix so top is smooth, sprinkle the chocolate chips on top & press them in using the back of a spoon. Decorate as desired with icing pen. 

4. Allow the bars to harden in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is best). 

5. Eat within 3 days :-)
