Protein squares!!

Homemade Chocolate Protein Squares!!! Almost look just like brownies and taste just as good :)

-8 scoops of double rich chocolate golden standard whey protein

-4 oz of dark chocolate chips (optional)
-2/3 cup of cooked oatmeal
-1 cup of egg whites
-1/2 cup of all natural nutty peanut butter
-1/2 cup of crushed walnuts
-2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil
-1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon

(Add another scoop of protein if needed)

Mix all together in a large bowl then pour into cake pan and pat down very well. Place in freezer for 30 minutes or until chocolate is hardened then cut into 20 bars and voila!

Cut up into bars (makes about 20 squares) 10 bars will be about 28 grams of protein in each

High in good essential oils such as omega 3-6-9

If you want to decrease the sugar content by 1/2 or have no sugar at all only use 2 oz of chocolate chips or non at all. Already with the 4 oz of chocolate chips you are only getting 3 grams of sugar per serving :)

I was experimenting and this was my first time trying this so next time I think I will add more walnuts or a different type of nut such as chopped peanuts or crushed almonds ;) This recipe was extremely yummy for a protein bar :)

Great for a quick post workout treat!

It's very easy to have more than one at a time :)
