We LOVE these healthy protein bars! My husband takes them to work and it gives him that extra mid-afternoon energy. This 9x13in dish of protein bars is packed with 120g of Protein.Ingredients
* 1 cup instant Shaklee protein (Shaklee vanilla protein works too)
* 1 1/2 cups oats
* 1 cup almonds/walnuts, chopped
* 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
* 1/4 - 1/3 cup ground flax seed
* 1 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
* 2/3 cup agave (or raw honey)
* 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Heat agave on a stove until it starts to come to a boil. Remove from heat immediately so it doesn't burn and add peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir until peanut butter is nice and smooth.
Add the peanut butter/agave mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir ingredients together until they stick. If mixture seems too dry, add extra peanut butter or agave.
Press mixture into a 9x13in glass dish. We like to melt some dark chocolate chips and spread the melted chocolate on top of the bars. Refrigerate and cool. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Hope you enjoy this healthy, protein packed snack!
do you know if I can skip the shaklee protein or if I can substitute it with something else?!
ReplyDeleteHi! The protein is the main ingredient - I'm sure you could try it with another brand of protein if you prefer. We like using this Shaklee protein as it is all natural, non-GMO and has a neutral taste.

Wow! Those sound good. I have never heard of anyone making these from home. I am glad you did. I am going to try these. My hubby and I need something like this and don't want to spend the money on the ones from the store. Thanks for sharing at Thursday's Temptation.

Love you blog and your shares. I have been a Shaklee distributor for 20 years, I found Shaklee when I was dying and a friend said just try it for a month, I am now 70 years old, on no medication and in perfect health and still able to play basketball and run circles around my younger husband. He calls me the "energizer bunny" Thank you to God who brought my friend with Shaklee Protein Drink, Vita Lea, Vitamin E. Beta Carotine and B Complex ~ within one month my doctor wanted to know what i was doing because I was healthier than he had seen me in years. I do not sell anymore as we travel almost full time but I still love Shaklee and God. I am so glad I found your blog
