Chocolate peanut butter protein bars are easy to make in a small batch, and absolutely delicious. Using a good protein powder is the key. If there is a downside, it might be how hard it will be to only eat one.
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups peanut butter
- 0.5 cups vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.13 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions

Line an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides to make it easy to remove bars from the pan. Set aside.

Place peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla and salt in a bowl and mix until well combined; press into the prepared pan. Set aside.

3
Place chocolate chips and oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir. Repeat until chips are completely melted when stirred. Pour over bars, smooth chocolate. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Cut into 8 bars.

Vegetarian Pot Pie with Puff Pastry Crust
A mix of fresh and frozen vegetables in a lively sauce forms the filling for this vegetarian pot pie. The top crust couldn't be easier, since it is a sheet of thawed puff pastry, draped over the top of the dish. Make this a vegan dish by substituting your favorite vegan butter, if you wish.
