No bake protein bars

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup of almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup of honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1/2 cup of protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup of hemp seeds
  • 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. It’s much easier when everything is in one place. Trust me!
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, protein powder, and hemp seeds first — this will help the flavors meld together right from the start.
  3. Then, add in the almond butter and honey. Mix well. You want everything to be nicely combined; using your hands might be the best way to go. Just get in there and get it mixed!
  4. If you’re feeling a little extra, toss in those chocolate chips. They’ll melt slightly and provide a nice gooey texture.
  5. Once everything is mixed together, grab an 8×8 inch baking dish. Line it with parchment paper so you can easily remove the bars later.
  6. Spread the mixture into the dish and press down firmly. The firmer you pack it in, the better your bars will hold together.
  7. Chill in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes. Patience is key here, but the outcome is so worth it!
  8. Once chilled, take them out, and cut into bars or squares as your heart desires. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

And there you have it, folks! A scrumptious snack that won’t take up too much of your time, but will definitely keep you fueled throughout your day. Enjoy!
