Ingredients
Organic Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan, vanilla protein powder
- ½ cup peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter
- ⅓ cup sprouted oats
- ⅓ cup raw, unsalted almonds
- 4 large dates, pitted
- 1 TB raisins
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 10 drops vanilla stevia
- 5 shakes pink himalayan salt
Instructions
- Add dates, protein powder, peanut butter, cinnamon, stevia drops and pink himalayan salt to food processor and and blend until smooth.
- Add almonds and oats and pulse until you see the desired consistency of almonds and oats (not entirely smooth). Add raisins and pulse again to slightly chop the raisins.
- Add parchment paper in the bottom of a square glass or ceramic pan.
- Pour the mixture into the square glass or ceramic pan and spread flat and press together with your hands to the desired thickness for the protein bars, about 1/2" thick. If the bars are too dry and do not hold together, add a small amount more of peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter and mix in food processor again.
- Cut into protein bars and freeze for 1 approximately 1 hour (or until firm). Then wrap each protein bar in parchment paper.
- Store protein bars in freezer. Take out of freezer for approximately 30 min-1 hour to thaw slightly before eating.
