No Bake Vegan Protein Bars

Most vegan "protein" bar recipes on the internet aren't actually protein bars—they're energy bars. They're usually loaded with dates, maple syrup, or nut butter and simply happen to contain some protein powder. Some don't even use protein powder at all, relying on nuts as their primary protein source. This vegan protein bar is different. Each bar contains 19 g of protein for under 120 calories, with just enough carbohydrates and fat to improve the texture while keeping the protein-to-calorie ratio high. They're no-bake, easy to make, freeze well, and are naturally vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, and nut-free.
