Notes
- The protein powder you choose will affect both the flavor and the texture of the bars. Check out my three favorite protein powders and know that the fermented ones absorb liquid more.
- If using Botanica protein powder, the amount is 1.5 scoops of protein powder
- If you’re using a pea-based protein powder, you'll need to add more liquid to the bars (start with 2 tablespoons)
- Let the bars thaw at room temperature for ten minutes (or in the fridge for longer) before enjoying
- Tip: if you have specific dietary restrictions (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan) – double-check all your ingredients for appropriate brands!
- Keep in mind the protein values may be off by 1-2 grams as it depends on which protein powder you’re using. Each vegan protein powder has a different markup of ingredients which can alter the intake slightly.
