🧾 Ingredients List:

  • 1 cup chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (adjust for texture)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp nut butter (almond, peanut, or sunflower)
  • 1 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup or monk fruit syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (for coating)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (for smoother chocolate coating)

🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Mix the Base:
    In a bowl, combine protein powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir in almond milk, nut butter, syrup, and vanilla. Mix until a thick, smooth dough forms. Add a splash of almond milk if too dry.
  2. Shape the Bars:
    Press the mixture into a parchment-lined loaf pan or mold into bar shapes by hand. Place in the freezer for 1–2 hours until firm.
  3. Melt Chocolate Coating:
    In a microwave or double boiler, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth.
  4. Coat the Bars:
    Remove bars from freezer, dip each in the melted chocolate, and place on parchment paper. Drizzle extra chocolate over the top if desired.
  5. Chill & Set:
    Freeze for another 15–20 minutes to harden the coating. Enjoy chilled!

🔁 Substitution Tips:

  • Use coconut flour instead of almond (start with 1/4 cup and adjust).

💡 Recipe Variations:
