Notes
- Different protein powders will alter the texture of the homemade protein bars. This recipe was made with a vegan fermented protein which means that the base of the bars thickens and firms up very well and doesn't go soft at room temperature.
- if you're using another protein powder or collagen powder to keep the bars paleo, you'll want to add in almond flour to bulk them up or they won't hold together.
- Know that arrowroot powder works in place of tapioca and any sugar can work for date sugar.
- Store the bars in the fridge or freezer in a sealed container.
