Trail Mix Protein Bars

It’s been a while since we posted a make-your-own protein bar recipe, but rest assured, we have been saving a good one for the right time. And that time is now! Ready, go! Here is our latest concoction – a little sweet and maybe a little more treat (the way it tastes, not the macros!), this will satisfy your sweet tooth AND repair those muscles. Think “Hello” beautiful arms and “Bye Bye” body fat! These are similar consistency (and taste) to Lara Bars.

Description

These Trail Mix Protein Bars are delicious and they are considered clean, Paleo, AND are gluten-free. This is definitely a recipe that you should try!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup raw almonds (not roasted or salted)
  • 1/3 cup dried, pitted dates
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup raw sunflower seeds (not roasted or salted)
  • 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds (not roasted or salted)
  • 3 TBSP dark chocolate, 70% cocoa or greater
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 2/3 cup coconut or almond milk
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Combine the first 6 ingredients into a food processor and pulse/chop until most pieces are broken up and sliced.
  3. Add protein powder, coconut or almond milk, honey and egg to the food processor and pulse several times to combine.
  4. Line an 8″x8″ baking dish with parchment paper and spread mixture evenly onto the dish.
  5. Bake in oven for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
  6. Allow bars to cool in your refrigerator for 45 minutes to 1 hour to harden and “set.”

Notes

  • Step 1 is VERY loud!
  • Bars do not have preservatives and must be refrigerated to last more than a few hours. Bars will stay in refrigeration for approximately 2 days. (Make a half batch if it’s just you!)
  • These are higher in fat than our other bars due to the fact they are made primarily with nuts. These should count toward your healthy fats for your day.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes

  • Method: Baked
  • Cuisine: American
