That's what I said! Chocolate and peanut butter - like a Reese's! Only not really.
When I first started 'eating clean', I asked a friend for her protein bar recipe. She had made them, but I hadn't tried them. When she sent me the recipe, I was both excited and disappointed. Excited because I had the recipe in hand, and disappointed because the recipe called for vanilla protein powder and I had chocolate. I had all of the other ingredients in my pantry.
I decided I would try them with chocolate protein powder, but I would have to omit a few other things. Here's what I came up with:
In a saucepan, cook over medium heat:
1 1/4 cup natural chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup agave nectar
2 TBS coconut oil
Mix dry:
2 1/4 cups steel cut oats
2 cups chocolate protein powder (as natural as possible)
1/2 cup coconut flakes
Mix all together and spread on cookie sheet. Cool in fridge for 2 hours. Cut into bars - about 1/2 the size of your palm. Store in a ziploc bag. These can be sort of crumbly, but it's okay. They're great with a spoon too!
I take these everywhere! They're great for breakfast - or in a pinch.
