I know I’ve been MIA lately, and it’s been a few weeks since I posted a recipe. What can I say?? It’s summer, and it’s been busy. Recently I’ve been looking more into nutrition, and protein especially as I want to make sure that I’m fueling my body correctly for workouts.
Totally forgot to put the cherries in the picture, and ain’t nobody got time for that!! Haha. I also made a peanut butter version that i’ll post next week. Which has more protein obviously because of the peanut butter. Cherries, cocoa, and dates both have protein, but the almonds carry the biggest amount. These are super quick and easy to make. They’re perfect for on the go, which was what I was aiming for. A quick bar with protein for after a workout, or on-the-go snack.
It’s enough to fill a bread pan, so if you wanna double it then feel free! It makes 6 normal size bars, or 9 if you want mini’s. Be sure to blend well to make everything chopped up better, which makes them stick together better.
