These bars are delicious as a snack or for breakfast~ I have made them chocolaltey too, which is even more tasty =) My mom found the recipe on a blog that she likes and printed it off for me- I’m not sure what the blog was, but if you know please tell me to I can credit the recipe!
On-the-Go Protein Bars
2c Almonds
1/4c Ground Flax Seed
1/2c Dried Fruit (Rasins and or Prunes are good)
1/2c Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
1/2c Natural Peanut Butter
1/2 Tsp Sea Salt
1/2c Melted Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
1 TB Maple Syrup or Honey
2-3 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Optional:
Coco Powder
Melted Chocolate
Place almonds, flax, fruit, coconut, peanut butter and salt in a food processor. Blend until it is a coarse- however chunky you would like it. Melt coconut oil on the stove, then stir sweetener and vanilla in. Pour into the nut mix and stir well. (Add coco powder if you like, about a 1/3c.) Press into an 8×8 pan and refrigerate for ~1 hour. (Spread melted chocolate on top if you want and refrigerate until hardened.)
After they are hardened cut them into squares and wrap individually with plastic wrap. Freeze or refrigerate.

Hi, I can’t wait to try these. I am wondering though, it says 1/2 melted extra virgin coconut oil. Is it tbsp, cup, or maybe half of whatever container it comes in. I’ve never used it before so I was not sure. Thanks, Shar
Whoops, that is half a cup! It is a wonderful oil and it’s on the healthier side as far as fats go. We buy it through a co-op in bulk, but check at your local health food store. Make sure to get the extra virgin kind!
Can we replace coconut oil with some other oil? Will olive oil tastes good?
You could try a canola oil. I wouldn’t recommend olive oil for the taste…
These look amazing – so much cheaper than buying expensive “health” bars. Especially here in the U.K.
