Green Protein Bar with Chocolate Ganache Recipe – Glam Radar
by Stacey · December 23, 2015
I have been making these green protein bars for a while but adapted the recipe this time to find a substitute for dates. I used lucuma powder instead to sweeten the bars and I found them just right.
This recipe can be adapted to your likes and dislikes but I made them nut free by using sesame seeds and sunflower seeds, and coconut for the fat. If you have someone with a nut allergy leave out the almond milk and use coconut milk. I topped it all of with a little chocolate ganache made with raw cacao powder. Cacao powder is high in antioxidants and has many health benefits; the greens powder I added is extra insurance. They do not taste like greens at all.
I use Dream Whey protein and Greens First in this bar because I find both of these products’ flavour exceptional and the protein is clean. Note that I have also used different greens powder with comparable results.
