ALMOND BUTTER PROTEIN BARS

Following our recent workshop exploring the concept of emotional eating I decided to post a recipe for this protein packed almond butter bar which satisfies a craving for something sweet whilst containing nutritious goodness:

BOTTOM LAYER
1 jar almond butter - I used Meridian 
1 tbsp honey (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
25g serving protein powder 
generous sprinkling mixed seeds
3 tbsp melted coconut oil

TOP LAYER
1 bar dark chocolate 85% + 
1 tsp coconut oil
Sea salt

​METHOD
In a bowl mix together the almond butter, honey, coconut oil and vanilla until smooth next add the protein powder and mixed seeds and combine well. Line a suitable tray with parchment paper, press dough evenly down in the tray and set aside. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a saucepan and pour this evenly over the top, sprinkle with sea salt and refrigerator for 45 minutes. Cut into slices and enjoy as a post workout indulgence <3
