More often than not, I reach for a protein bar to boost my daily intake—but I have to be honest, it’s not always my favorite way to get protein. Here’s the thing (and it might not be much of a secret): not all protein bars are created equal.
Many are loaded with processed sugar and high fructose corn syrup, completely defeating the purpose of a healthy snack. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create a natural, high-protein bar that actually does what it’s supposed to—keep you satisfied, energized, and fueled for the day without unnecessary additives. With natural sugars for lasting energy and quality protein to keep you full, this homemade bar is a must-have in your pantry!
Ingredients:
2/3 cup Pitted Dates
¼ Cup Water
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
2/3 cup Oats (rolled)
1/3 cup Hazelnuts (chopped, divided)
2 tbsp Hemp Seeds
1 tbsp Protein Powder

Instructions:
Add the dates, water, & protein powder to a blender or food processor and blend until a paste forms. Transfer the paste into a bowl and stir in the salt, oats, hemp seeds, and half of the hazelnuts.
Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Add the mixture to the pan, pressing down firmly with a spatula or your hands until even. Sprinkle the remainder of the hazelnuts on top and lightly press them down.
Transfer to the fridge for one hour or until it sets. Cut it into rectangular or square pieces and enjoy!
