Almond Pulp Energy Bars
If you make your own almond milk and have leftover nut pulp, this is the PERFECT high protein, high fiber energy bar to fuel your week with natural, unprocessed ingredients
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup puffed quinoa (or brown rice crisps)
- ½ cup almond pulp or almonds or a combo!
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I’ve been loving @ancientnutrition bone broth vanilla blend!)
- 1 tbsp hemp seed
- 1 tbsp chia seed
- 1 tbsp flax seed
- 1 tbsp oats
Instructions
Meal Prep Instructions:
Pulse blend
- I love a smooth textured bar so I start by pulse blending all the dry ingredients (puffed quinoa, seeds, oats)
Warm ingredients
- I think everything comes together and forms easiest when slightly warm so I add everything to a small sauce pan over low heat or microwave until peanut butter is just softened and warm. Combine until very well incorporated. If the mixture doesn’t seem like it’s sticking together to your liking, you can add a drizzle of honey until your bars reach the consistency you like!
Shape dough
- Add mixture to a small baking sheet or baking pan lined with parchment paper and flatten with a spatula until smooth. Shape with your hands into a square, cover and refrigerate until fully chilled before cutting.
Meal Prep Tips:
- I prefer keeping these in the fridge but these can also keep in a cool dark pantry for up to 1 week
- Get creative by adding in additional “flavors” like shredded coconut, different types of nuts, mini chocolate chips, cinnamon, etc!
