Vanilla Chia Seed Protein Bars

Ingredients:

Chia Protein Bars-
  • 4 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup Vanilla Pro Elite High Protein Shake
  • ¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

    • Chocolate Drizzle-

  • ½ cup dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

    • Method:

  • In a medium bowl, add chia seeds and Vanilla Pro Elite High Protein Shake . Let the chia seeds soak for 15 minutes
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Transfer the soaked chia seeds to a large mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients: unsweetened shredded coconut, coconut flour, pumpkin seeds, monk fruit sweetener, and coconut oil. Mix with spatula to combine.
  • If the mixture seems too dry, add an additional tbsp of Vanilla Pro Elite High Protein Shake until dough consistency forms.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and gently press to spread it evenly.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
  • While the bars are cooling, prepare the dark chocolate drizzle. Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave bowl along with the coconut oil. Microwave for a minute in 30 second intervals until consistency is thin.
  • Transfer the melted chocolate to a zip pouch and cut the tip. Now, drizzle the dark chocolate over the baked chia seed protein bars. Let the bars cool in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Once cool, slice into small individual bars. Serve immediately or store in an air-tight container for up to a week.
