These high protein, low carb bars are AMAZING! I love making my own protein bars, and these ones are my favourite to date!

Bonus: they’re easy to make and store well in the freezer!

Ingredients (makes 8 bars)

• 1/2 ripe banana (mine was frozen)
• 3 scoops vanilla whey (I used Kaizen)
• 2T ground flax
• 1T coconut flour
• 1T oat flour
• 2T almond butter (I used Maranatha all natural roasted creamy)
• ~1/4 cup water

Directions

• Melt the banana in the microwave for 1 minute (this makes them super sweet and liquidy)
• Mix the remaining ingredients (except for the water) well
• Add the water slowly, mixing to desired stickyness (you want them fairly sticky, but not too runny)
• Form into bar shape, and store in the freezer!
• When you want to enjoy one, either take it out and let it sit for at least 10 mintues, or microwave for ~ 15 seconds
