Yummy Protein Bar Recipe


Seriously this protein bar is so good to me I couldn't wait to blog about it!

I added a couple of ingredients that I thought were good and took out what I didn't have from a video I shared on my facebook page last night. I'll link that video at the end.  So if you have the basic foundational ingrediants you can change up what you want in your bar. Let me know if you try this and how you like it!

Dry Ingredients:
2 cups instant oatmeal
1 cup chocolate whey protein powder (I buy the cheap brand of protein atWal-Mart)
1/4  cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup dried cherries (you can use raisins or dried cranberries)
1/8 cup flaxseed (I just added this for a little extra fiber)
1/4 cup almond slivers
Mix these all together in a large bowel.

Wet Ingredients:
1/4 cup agave nector (you can use honey)
1/4 cup natural peanut butter creamy
1/4 cup Almond Breze Coconut Milk (you can use whatever milk you want)
1 square Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate
1 square Baker's Semi Sweet Chocolat (you can use 1/3 cup chocolate chips I think my bars could have done better with a little less chocolate)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
Microwave wet ingredients in bowl until the chocolate in blendable.  Then pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and blend well.  Line parchment paper in a pan (I used a loaf pan). Spray paper with a little cooking spray. Pour mixture into pan and refigerate until firm. Place bar on cutting board and cut into bars.

I cut mine into 16 bars. That made them only 4 Weight Watcher's Points!

Three Months Progress

It's been a long time since I have blogged, because I have been vlogging on youtube every week.  I also share almost daily on my facebook page.  I have been meaning to share on here for a while. Today I finally made the time to get on here. I want to get back into blogging too.  Anyway, I want to share my progress picture on here.
