Muscle Building Cookies and Cream Protein Bars

Forget about manufactured blandness, and make a homemade protein bar with way fewer ingredients, yet more protein.

These have a base of coconut butter and cashew butter, so they’re every bit as rich as most desserts. Real chocolate chunks also add to the indulgent flavour. But there’s minimal sugar – less than 10 grams – and a the secret ingredient, LA Whey protein powder for good measure and pure muscle building protein.
