To me, a protein bar must meet 3 basic requirements

1. At least 10g of protein per 100 calories, with protein being the predominant macro nutrient
2. No added sugar
3. Can be taken on the go

These protein bars meet all 3, as they clock in at just 100 calories and have over 13g of protein

- 7.5 tbsp (45 g) Powdered peanut butter
- 1 scoop (30 g) Whey protein powder, unflavored
- 1 scoop (30 g) Casein protein powder, unflavored
- 1/4 cup (30 g) Coconut flour
- 1 tsp (3 g) Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp (1.5 g) Salt
- 1/2 cup (120 g) Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 tbsp (20 g) Sugar free syrup
- 1 tsp (5 g) Almond extract

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - powdered peanut butter, whey, casein, coconut flour, cinnamon, and salt

2. Add in the wet ingredients (milk, syrup, and extract). Fold with a silicone spatula until fully combined. The mix should be slightly sticky

3. Line a 9x5" bread pan with parchment paper, and evenly press the dough into the pan. Chill in the fridge for 3 hours before slicing. Store in the fridge or freezer, wrapped in parchment paper
