No Bake Paleo Protein Bars
 
 
An easy and versatile no-bake protein bar recipe that makes for a super fast breakfast or snack before or after a workout! (And it's only 6 ingredients!)

Ingredients
Bars:
  • 2 cups nuts of choice (I used almonds and pecans)
  • 1 cup raisins
  • ⅛ cup nut butter (I used almond butter)
  • 3 tablespoons protein powder of choice (Mark loves this brand)
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Topping (Optional):
  • ⅓ cup chocolate chips (or extra nuts, dried fruit, coconut, whatever you like!)
Instructions
  1. Prepare an 8x8'' or 9x9'' pan with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Add all ingredients to a food processor.
  3. Pulse a few times to mix, then blend for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Mixture should start to stick together, but not be TOO sticky. (If your mixture is too sticky, add extra nuts. If it's still too dry and crumbly, add extra coconut oil or nut butter.)
  4. Press mixture in the pan until you have an even layer.
  5. Top with chocolate chips or whatever toppings you like, and press them into the mixture so they stick.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, then cut into squares. I cut mine into 12 squares.
  7. Store wrapped in the refrigerator. The bars should keep for at least a week.
Notes
~This recipe is a great base to make whatever flavor combinations you like!
~The protein powder is totally optional! You could probably try subbing flax seed meal instead or just leave it out.
