The ultimate chocolate lovers snack.
Raw Chocolate Protein Bar
The best part? They are vegan and guilt-free and made just from real ingredients!
I love them because they are very practical as a take-with-me snack for during the week. Therefore, I made them on Sunday so I will have a snack on Monday and Tuesday. You can easily double the ingredients and then you’ll have some in reserve for the whole week π
When I decided that I wanted to cut back on sugar, all these recipes for nutritious yet fully delicious homemade snacks were my life savers. Often we try so hard but when we see candy in the store and we have nothing else available..ah well, it happens so fast π
I am happy when you guys try my recipe, let me know how you like it!
Love,
Lara

Hi Sarah, sorry I don’t know I don’t track macros π
Just made these, and they look wonderful! Do you happen to know how many grams of protein they contain?
Dieses Rezept ist ein Lebensretter wenn man versucht auf Zucker zu verzichten. Ich musste das Rezept jetzt schon das 2. mal in 4 Tagen machen, weil meine ganze Familie es auch super lecker fand. Ich hab das fertige dann noch gebacken, damit meine Mutter auch essen kann. Es hat einfach genauso geschmeckt wie Brownies nur nicht ganz so ungesund π
Thanks a lot!! Yes indeed they are caramelized with maple syrup. Totally forgot to mention that.
Hi Lara! Another lovely recipe I will try out for sure π did you prepped the nuts for topping or are they raw? The look kinda carmelized so I was wondering about it. Please let me know π hugs

Depends on how you slice them from 8-10 π
Hi! Your recipe looks very interesting! I was wondering how many bars it provided at the end ? π
Yes sure no worries just add more cacao powder then π
Hi. This might be a silly question lol I really wanna try this recipe thoughIs it posdible to omit the protein powder? Thanks!
Hi Janine! Sounds so interesting! I never had it! What are the benefits? Is agave not healthy? Tell me more please <3
Hi Lara, the recipe sounds amazing and I really love adding hemp to my treats. Have you already tried our Rice syrup instean ov Agave syrup? Because it is much more healthy. I learned it a few month ago. xoxo Janine
I love that you can make protein bars from scratch, all from wholesome ingredients so that you can contl what you’re putting into your snacks!
Ohhh that sounds really nice! I love the variety of ingredients you added. Sounds like a good idea to prep for the week!
