NO-BAKE LOW-CARB PROTEIN BARS



No-Bake Low-Carb Protein Bars image

I have been looking for a protein bar that is not full of carbs. The following is a my own interpretation of a recipe I found online. You could experiment with other ingredients (i.e., other types of protein powder, coco powder, nuts and seeds, etc...). If you come up with other variations, let me know! :)

Time 5m

Yield 6 bars, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup flax seed meal (grind whole flax in a coffee grinder)
2 tablespoons coconut flour
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
10 tablespoons protein powder (I use rice)
3 tablespoons carob powder
1/8 teaspoon stevia powder (or to taste)
1/3 cup almond butter
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup water (more or less, as necessary)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all dry ingredients well.
  • 2. Mix together almond butter and coconut oil in a small cup (if the oven is warm (not hot!) I place it in there for a minute to soften it before stiring.
  • 3. Add almond butter and oil to dry ingredients and mix WELL (I actually use my hands to do this). The mixture will be rather dry and crumbly.
  • 4. Add vanilla extract and water (I'd recommend adding water gradually, starting with 1/4 cup, so you don't overdo it) and mix well.
  • 5. Grease a 9x9 pan (or similar size) and press dough into pan. I press for a few minutes with my hand to create a consistent thickness.
  • 6. Chill in the fridge for several hours to set, then cut into approximately 6 pieces. Wrap each one individually for a quick snack, or store them with wax paper in-between.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality, nutritious ingredients to ensure your protein bars are packed with essential nutrients.
  • Balance macros: Aim for a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats to create a satisfying and energy-boosting snack.
  • Adjust sweetness: If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of honey or maple syrup in the recipes.
  • Experiment with flavors: Feel free to mix and match different nut butters, seeds, and dried fruits to create unique flavor combinations.
  • Store properly: Keep your protein bars refrigerated or frozen to maintain their freshness and texture.

Conclusion:

Homemade no-bake protein bars are a convenient and delicious way to fuel your body with essential nutrients. With a variety of recipes to choose from, you can easily customize them to suit your dietary preferences and taste buds. By following these tips, you can create protein bars that are not only satisfying but also contribute to a healthy and active lifestyle.
