🌱 I personally love a quick, nutrient dense, chocolatey protein bar. I have been enjoying these as a mid-morning snack, but they are great anytime of day

** If you aren’t the biggest chocolate fan, try topping with melted peanut butter or coconut pieces

Recipe:

– 1/4 cup maple syrup
– 1/4 cup peanut butter
– 1/2 cup peanuts

– Optional: 1/2 cup melted chocolate

Instructions:
1. Soak pitted dates in hot water for ~20min (to soften)
2. Drained dates and add to blend, or food processor, with maple syrup. Chop until semi-smooth (refer to texture in reel)
3. In a bowl, combine dates mixture, peanut butter, peanuts, almond flour and protein powder
4. Line loaf tin with parchment paper. Add mixture.
5. Top with melted chocolate, then place in freezer for 2 hours
