My Very First Protein Bar (high raw, vegan, gluten free)

Written by Dara on November 15th, 2009

**update 6/3/10: recipe and ingredients have been removed from this page due to people copying my content and recipe without giving any credit to me :(

My favorite food bars are those which contain healthy vegan, soy-free protein and a short ingredient list. I realize that food bars are not the healthiest way to get one’s nutrients, but there are times in which my schedule leaves me no choice! When I am running late in the morning and don’t have time to pack a “well rounded” meal, I grab a protein bar and greek yogurt to go. They are also awesome for traveling. Well, they are also quite pricey! (meaning wayyyy overpriced for what you get!)

Well, my recent obsession with Nugo Bars and Rebars inspired me to create my own version… this was a completly random and on the spot creation, no pre-meditation!

Ingredients:

-Protein Powder, 6 scoops (I use Sun Warrior)

rolled out dough with puffs “pressed” in for ease…

If anyone attempts making these, please tell me if you do anything different! I am going to be creating another version of these as my goal was to make them more crispy. I am thinking of doing a “rice crispy treat” inspired protein bar next time to acheive the lightness I want.

Nevertheless, these are very tasty and boost 12 grams of protein/bar

    I just made these and made a few changes based on what I had in the house and my own preferences. I replaced corn starch with arrow root powder, and coconut milk with kefir, I just used more oats in place of the puffed brown rice because I was out, and powdered milk instead of protien powder, (can you tell it’s time to go to the store?) they are now more of a granola bar and not dairy free(dairy is not an issue for our family) but my kids gobbled them up in a heart beat and they have got be better than the store bought versions. Thanks for the idea.

    Thank you for the sweet comments everyone!!

    Amy- Thanks for letting me know your changes! It makes me so happy I was able to provide something healthy for you and your kids to make and would LOVE to try your version. They sound delish! I am NOT dairy free, but they just ended up that way!! Thanks again for reading, commenting and sharing :)

    How long can they be stored, and would you freeze or just wrap them?

    Hi Cindy!

    I wrapped mine each in plastic wrap and then frozen them in a freezer bag. Mine would not be consumed quickly enough in my home of two people. Also, this crisps them up, which I like. You could also refridgerate them. If you chose to bake them in the oven at 350, then you could just wrap them on up!

    Hope that helps, if you have any more questions, let me know!!

  6. Oh my goodness those look amazing! Glad I discovered your blog :-D
