Protein bars

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon pure honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 113g low fat cottage cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 80ml water
• 113g all natural peanut butter (chunky)
• 5 scoops Vanilla LA Whey
• 113g oat flour
• 54g almonds (sliced)

Directions:

1. Add the honey, vanilla, cottage cheese, cinnamon and water to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
2. Transfer to a mixing bowl along with the peanut butter. Stir to combine. Add the protein powder and stir to combine (this may take a minute). Add the oat flour and stir to combine again.
3. Using a 9″ x 9″ baking pan for measurement, pull out a piece of plastic wrap about 2x the length of the pan.
4. Then cover the baking pan with the wrap, allowing the extra plastic length to hang over the edge of the pan.
5. Scoop the mixture above onto the plastic wrap inside the bake pan.
6. Lift the corners of the extra plastic wrap and fold over the top of the mixture. Spread out the mixture with a spatula, making sure it fills the pan and that there’s a layer of plastic wrap above and below the bars.
7. Next, uncover the top of the bars and press the sliced almonds into the top of the bars.
8. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.

For a large bar, cut into approximately 4″ x 4″ pieces, and for a small serving cut into 2″ x 2″ bars.
