This past week I set out to make a high protein, nutrient dense, and energy packed bar that tastes great, and the result was something that would pass as a dessert(that is, if you like chocolate, peanut butter and hazelnuts!- but who doesn’t really!?)!
I stored these tasty bars in the fridge and they were a great grab-and-go snack that left you full and satisfied, while addressing that “I-need- chocolate-NOW” craving at the same time, a bonus! Better yet, they are NO BAKE, super easy to make, and loaded with quality ingredients such as chia seeds, hemp seeds, hazelnuts, almonds, coconut oil and honey. I did use chocolate chips in my version, but you can choose to use cocoa powder (mixed with the coconut oil) if you wish!
Also, I just joined Yummly and will begin posting my recipes there as well to share! If you haven’t checked it out definitely take a look! (click here to go to Yummly)
