Overnight Protein Bars

• 1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter, I like the Earth Balance brand

• 1/2 cup agave nectar

• 1 cup chocolate protein powder, I used Arbonne Essentials Chocolate Protein Shake Mix

• 1.5 cups of instant oats

• 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

Directions

Heat peanut butter and agave nectar in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir in protein powder, oats, and chocolate chips. It’s best to just use your hands for the mixing, then press the mixture (it will be crumbly) in a lightly greased 8x6 pan. Let cool for 6 hours or overnight. Makes 12 protein bars.

This is a great kid-friendly recipe. Mabel loves them. In fact, they’ve completely replaced Clif Bars in our house.
