Ingredients For Vegan Protein Bars

Dates and raisins provide natural sweetness and help bind the mixture together.

Almond flour and cashews add a soft texture and mild nutty flavor, while sunflower seeds give the bars a little extra structure.

Cocoa powder and cacao nibs create the chocolate flavor, and rice protein powder adds plant based protein to make the bars more satisfying.

How To Make Homemade Vegan Protein Bars

Making vegan protein bars is very simple and only requires a blender or food processor.

Add all ingredients to the food processor and blend until the mixture starts to stick together and forms a thick dough.

Once the mixture is combined, press it firmly into a small container or pan lined with parchment paper. Flatten the top evenly so the bars have a consistent thickness.

Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes so it can firm up slightly. After chilling, cut into bars or squares.

Tips for making vegan protein bars

If the mixture feels too dry while blending, you can add one or two extra dates or a small splash of plant milk.

If the mixture feels too sticky, add a little more almond flour or sunflower seeds and blend again.

You can also adjust the flavor of these vegan protein bars by adding more cocoa powder or cacao nibs for a stronger chocolate taste.

How to store vegan protein bars

Store the protein bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about five days.

For longer storage, you can freeze the bars and thaw them for a few minutes before eating. This makes them a convenient snack to prepare ahead of time.
