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 nonfat cottage cheese with powdered peanut butter until I get a thick dough, chill it, and slice into bars. With no protein powder, these lean protein bars still have 17 g of protein in just 140 calories, with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients until you have a thick, sticky cookie dough - blended cottage cheese, powdered peanut butter, and (optional) vanilla extract

Step 2

Line a small container with parchment paper (I'm using a glass meal prep container, which is 6.2 x 4.5"). Evenly press the dough into all sides of the pan

Step 3

Freeze for about 1 hour before slicing into 4 protein bars. Wrap each in parchment paper, and store in an airtight bag in the freezer or refrigerator
