Instructions

  1. In food processor, blend almonds to a course flour.

  6. Remove from freezer and cut into 8 even pieces.
  7. Store bars in fridge or freezer.

Notes

*Any protein powder should work, but the brand linked is what I recommend.

**Add 1 Tbsp water at a time because (depending on the brand of ingredients you use) the quantity of water needed may vary.

When making these protein bars, I lined my pan with stretch-tite plastic food wrap (also known as saran wrap).  I simply cut a long piece of plastic wrap, folded it in half (to make it thicker) and then placed it in the pan.  Next, I added the dough and evenly spread it out with a spatula.  Then I folded the plastic wrap over the dough and used that as a barrier between my hands and the dough to press down the bars.  After freezing, removal of the bars was easy and the plastic wrap peeled off perfectly.
