Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Protein Bars

by

I didn’t really know what to make the other day, but of course I wanted chocolate and peanut butter (what a surprise haha). I also didn’t really want to take the time to wait for something to bake. Alas, these amazing no-bake chocolate peanut butter protein bars were made.

I used my delicious chocolate Ascent casein protein in this particular recipe. You could try whey protein, but I would highly recommend casein. Casein and whey act very differently with how much liquid they absorb, so the exact measurements from this recipe certainly won’t work the same with whey. But, these are so good, even if you don’t already have some casein, go buy some and make these bars because they are awesome.

The base of the bar is chocolate and peanut butter flavored from a combination chocolate casein, peanut butter, and a few other healthy ingredients. Then, I had to top it with chocolate. No good protein bar can be left without a chocolate coating. The chocolate coating is super easy and healthy also. Just some dark chocolate chips and a bit of coconut oil.

It really doesn’t get much easier, healthier, or delicious than this. And what is not to love about that?
