So here's a take on some awesome bars that I've tried at work, but can't afford to be spending my money on all of the time!
Chocolate Coffee Protein Bars
makes 12 bars
1 cup almond butter
1/2 cup of raw honey and agave, in any ratio you'd like
1 cup hemp protein powder (I used Bob's Red Mill)
1/4 cup unsweetened chocolate
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup VERY strong coffee
1.) Put all of the ingredients in the food processor and mix well.
2.) Flatten mixture into a pan for desired thickness.
3.) Chill in fridge for about 20 minutes, and then cut into bars.
4.) Store in fridge.
I like to wrap mine individually in foil so that I can just grab them for a snack at school.
These are uber tasty, but very rich and satisfying. Enjoy!

So the almond butter disguises the grassiness of the hemp? Very cool. I'd be tempted to throw a few dates in there too. :)
ReplyDeleteYep! Although I use hemp in most of my smoothies, so I'm sort of use to the taste/texture, but these were non-vegan approved by several people, and the almond butter does make them very creamy.
