Who said healthy eating had to be boring? These Chocolate Chunk Protein Bars are made with REAL chocolate chunks and are amazing.
CHOCOLATE CHUNK PROTEIN BARS
We actually don’t experiment with protein bars that much. We usually just stick with the same ones over and over again. I must admit though, I have to give Scott the credit on this one, it was his idea! We took the original chocolate protein bar recipe and made it even better. These are so good!
Try this one with vegan protein powder, our favorite for this recipe is Vega Sport Plant-Based Protein (in chocolate). Or if you are up for trying another, here’s our review of Clean Plant-Based Protein Powders.
You must store these in the refrigerator or freezer as they will spoil because they have no preservatives.

Can you use regular applesauce?
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Rachel, Sorry I was traveling and just saw this comment. You can use regular applesauce but it is usually loaded with sugar so just be aware that it will change the macros.

What’s the grams per serving?
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Destiny, The grams per serving will vary depending on your exact ingredients. We try to cut the bars into 16 equal-sized squares. The nutritional information I have listed is per serving (bar). Typically, we eat 4 per serving as a small meal.
