Check out these DIY protein bars. They’re a wonderful combination of coconut, almond, ginger and vanilla!
Ingredients
1/8 cup vanilla casein
1/8 cup ground almonds
1 heaping tablespoon coconut flour
1 tablespoon ground coconut
1-2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (could always use ground ginger instead)
3 squares of 80% chocolate
Directions
1. Mix all the ingredients together (except for the chocolate), adding a tablespoon of water at a time until a pasty paste is made (you could use milk instead of water too.)
2. When it’s pasty enough to allow you to shape it, shape it into two rectangles (or one or three) and stick them in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
3. Then, melt your chocolate in a bain marie (i.e. in a glass bowl stuck over a pot with boiling water). When the chocolate is melted, dunk your bars in there so they get a nice coating. Place the bars on some baking paper and spoon whatever chocolate is left in the bowl.
4. Stick the bars in the freezer for 20-30 minutes and you’ll be ready to devour them!
Note
You can make one big bar out of the above or two smaller ones (or three even smaller ones).
