DIY protein bar (taste/texture similar to Perfect Bar)

Hello friends,

Have you tried Perfect Bars? I am obsessed with these bars and I have been wanting to try to create my own version of them that way I can make them when I am craving one. Don't you worry Perfect Bar team, I will still support you! I absolutely love the convenience of purchasing these at the store & I will be the first to admit I love the flavor of them. They are on the pricer side, so having a mock version to make at home can save me some money.

Here is how you can make my DIY protein bar recipe:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup raw honey

1/4 cup + 1 T egg white powder

1 T brown rice protein powder

2 T avocado oil

3 scoops Vital Proteins College Peptides

1 T nonfat milk powder

2 T peanut flour

Directions: 

Mix everything together in a bowl and shape the dough into bar size shapes. Place the bars into an airtight container in the fridge. Store there until you are ready to eat one.
