Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 tbsps (45–60 ml/3–4 tablespoons) mini chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup (80 ml/2.7 fl oz) fat-free Greek yogurt
- ½ cup (120 ml/4 fl oz) powdered peanut butter
- ½ cup (120 ml/4 fl oz) vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Mix Dry Foundation: Combine vanilla protein powder and powdered peanut butter in a large mixing bowl, stirring thoroughly to create a uniform dry base.
- Develop Dough Consistency: Incorporate Greek yogurt into the powder mixture, kneading with clean hands until a smooth, malleable dough forms, ensuring complete ingredient integration.
- Enhance Flavor Profile: Gently fold mini chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly to create a balanced texture and taste experience.
- Shape and Prepare: Mold the mixture into a compact rectangular shape, pressing firmly to maintain dense and uniform dimensions, then completely wrap in plastic wrap to seal moisture.
- Chill and Set: Freeze the wrapped dough for at least 30 minutes to stabilize and firm the protein bar foundation, allowing for clean cutting and optimal texture.
- Portion and Store: Remove from freezer, slice precisely into 5-6 equal segments using a sharp knife, and store in the refrigerator for convenient, fresh enjoyment within several days.
Notes
- Knead Thoroughly: Mix ingredients completely to prevent dry pockets and ensure uniform protein bar texture.
- Wrap Carefully: Seal protein bars tightly in plastic wrap to maintain moisture and prevent freezer burn.
- Chill Completely: Freeze for at least 30 minutes to help bars set and develop a firm, sliceable consistency.
- Store Smartly: Refrigerate protein bars for up to one week to preserve freshness and prevent ingredient separation.
