A delicious high protein snack for kids big and small.
Ingredients
Ingredients
2 cups oats
½ cup coconut
½ cup natural peanut butter (almond butter, cashew butter or sesame seed butter)
¼ cup honey
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla
⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 Tablespoon Cacao Bliss (or any brand organic Cacao powder)
2 Tablespoons whey protein powder
¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
You can use quick oats or whole rolled oats.
If you want to use the whole rolled oats you might want to blend just a bit in the vitamix or blender. Combine oats with remaining ingredients and mix until all ingredients are blended together evenly.
If your mixture seems a bit too gooey you can add a bit more oats.
Press into a lightly greased 9 inch square pan and refrigerate for an hour or two.
Cut into bars or squares and serve. If you have any leftover....you can individually wrap them and refrigerate until ready to eat.
