The No-Protein Bar

This is a stupid idea I had the other day: a protein bar, with no protein powder. Instead, I'll just be mixing together Greek yogurt with powdered peanut butter until I get a thick dough, chill it, and coat in chocolate. With no protein powder, these bars still have almost 20 g of protein in around 200 calories, with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners

Great

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt, vanilla, sweetener, and salt. Add the powdered peanut butter, and combine with a silicone spatula until you have a fully mixed dough

Step 2

Line a plate with parchment paper. Divide the dough in half (85 g each), and shape into 2 protein bars. Freeze for 30 minutes to harden

Step 3

In a small bowl, microwave coconut oil for 30 seconds to melt. Add in cocoa powder, and stir with a silicone spatula until smooth. Evenly spread on top of the bars. The chocolate won't look perfect or pretty, and that's okay. Paint the melted chocolate over the top and the sides of the bars

Step 4

Freeze for 30 minutes to harden. Wrap each bar in parchment paper or aluminum foil, and store in an airtight bag in the fridge or freezer
