Primal banana protein bars

 

The quest for a minimum ingredient homemade protein bar is over. So is the one for a non bake bar. That's right - this thing is raw, and only has 4 ingredients. It also has 25 grams of protein. Let's dig in.

To make 4 bars you need:

1 medium banana, ripe

3 scoops whey protein ( I used vanilla)

1 cup almond meal 

1 tablespoon coconut oil (feel free to use butter)

Use a blender/chopper to mix everything very well. You will get a sticky raw cookie dough consistency. Form a large bar shape, roll in almond meal and roll and press in baking paper. Place in the fridge for 3 hours and your bars are ready. Take out, cut in 4 and roll the edges in almond meal one more time. It's very tempting to eat the bars before they have thickened up in the fridge - try to control yourself- I dare you.

The great news is that these bars are actual protein bars, not just delicious bars - they can be a whole meal. Enjoy!
