no bake protein bars
Ingredients
- 4 serving (serving = 2 tbsp) Jif Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter
- 2.5 serving (serving = 1 scoop) Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Powder Gold Standard – Vanilla Ice Cream
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 5 serving (serving = 1 tbsp) Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1.5 serving (serving = 1/2 cup) Quaker Quick Oats
Instructions
First, heat the peanut butter and honey in a pot on medium to low heat until thin. Then remove from heat, add your protein powder and oats, and mix up. You may need to add a little water as the mixture will get super thick. Only add a tsp at a time until it reaches a consistency that is relatively hard but will be easy to mold. I put the mixture into a 9 glass dish and press it out into a square. Heat up your chocolate chips (I use 30 sec intervals in the microwave mixing in between- usually takes 90 secs total), and cover the top of your protein bars with chocolate. I throw them in the freezer for 30 mins to an hour to harden then cut six lines down and one across for a total of 14 bars.
