Chocolate Banana Protein Bars
These are so delicious and easy to make. I whipped up a double batch and decided to add a little chocolate drizzle on top this time around. You will need to bake it longer if you want several bars, why wouldn’t you? If you love the look of my recipes, head to my online store to order your pre-made ebook or a custom meal plan.
Ingredients for one batch
1 banana (mashed)
1 1/4 cups organic old fashioned oats
2/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup almond or peanut butter
1 -2 tsp organic true cinnamon
1/3 cup plant-based protein powder
coconut oil optional to add chocolate sauce on top // I actually prefer without now
2 tbsp cacao or cocoa with an added splash of maple syrup for sauce
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC)
Place all ingredients together in a bowl and mix well with a spatula
Pack mixture down firmly into a pan. (I use a 9 x 9 square pan)
Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool for 30 minutes
When cool, cut into bars. Store in an air-tight container or wrap them individually and throw them in the freezer for an easy grab-and-go snack
If mixing coconut oil, cacao and a splash of maple syrup, it will set best in the freezer versus the fridge, but both work
Enjoy!

High protein and filled with healthy unsaturated fats, these make great snacks for adults on the go. My child also loves them made with cacao instead of protein powder. Great to avoid feeling anxious or irritated from skipping a meal. All the benefits of ingredients are listed along with the recipe.
I literally crave this dessert and it’s made from chickpeas! The peanut butter increases the protein content and I list all the benefits of eating beans.
This is the best cake I’ve ever eaten! Plus, the ingredients are amazing. All nutritious whole foods without any oils, gluten or dairy.
These have the best creamy texture and they’re loaded with protein and fat to keep blood sugars more balanced when eating something sweeter!
Delicious vegan gluten-free breakfast cookies made without refined sugar. Basically, a bowl of oatmeal in the form of a cookie! See notes section for my new favourite way to make.
Original recipe is from the Balanced Blonde and I added a couple rockstar ingredients to take it to the next level. It’s so delicious covered in tahini.
Everyone seems to be baking banana bread right now, so I joined in too! Vegan and gluten-free, because that’s how my body feels best.
the easiest way to make pancakes for a group, or for 1 person that loves pancakes (me!)
this is so much faster than the traditional way, especially if you don’t have a girdle
vegan, gluten-free, delicious
Taco salad bowls remind me of trips to mexico! They are easy to throw together and it’s vegan and gluten-free. Plant-based eating is high in phytonutrients and anti-inflammatory properties so you can thrive.
