Directions

Salted Caramel Cashew Protein Bars

Makes 6 bars | 20g protein per serve

Ingredients

Base:

● ¼ cup coconut oil (softened or melted)

● ¼ cup cashew butter

● 3 Tbsp maple syrup

● ½ tsp white miso paste

● ½ cup vanilla protein powder (we used Go Good Vanilla Whey Isolate)

● ½ cup almond meal

● 2 Tbsp hemp seeds

Topping:

● 75g dark chocolate (we used 85%)

● 1 tsp coconut oil

Method

1. In a medium bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, cashew butter, maple syrup, and miso

paste until smooth.

2. Add the protein powder, almond meal, and hemp seeds. Stir until a dough forms.

3. Line a small loaf tin with baking paper and press the mixture firmly into the base. Use

the back of a spoon or spatula to smooth the top.

4. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a small saucepan or microwave in 30-second

bursts. Pour over the base layer and smooth out evenly.

5. Place in the freezer for 1–2 hours or until set.

6. Slice into 6 bars and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Storage: Keep in the fridge for up to a week, or freezer for up to 2 months.

They’re best slightly chilled.
