Chocolate Protein Bars
Chocolate Protein Bars
If you want to get your kids to eat healthy snacks, you have to start with healthy ingredients. These chocolate protein bars are made with Dutch Chocolate flavored Juice Plus Complete protein powder*, peanut butter, honey from the local farmer’s market, and oatmeal. Quite delicious and nutritious – and my girls gobble them up!

Actual recipe:
1 c. natural peanut butter
7 oz. honey
1 1/8 c. chocolate Juice Plus Complete
1 1/2 c. oats

Mix all ingredients together. Press into a 9×9 pan. Refrigerate. Cut into 1″ or 2″ bars and keep in the refrigerator.

*I received a can of Juice Plus Protein Powder as a door prize at a networking lunch. I was not asked to advertise or give my opinion for this product, but I would definitely endorse it!”

  4. TRY THIS variation from my friend/Juice Plus distributor:

    7 oz. honey
    1 c. natural peanut butter
    1⅛ c. chocolate Juice Plus Complete
    ¾ c. uncooked oats
    ¾ c. high-fiber cereal, slightly crushed (adds a layer of texture)
    1 c. chocolate chips

    Bring *honey to boil & stir in peanut butter. Add remaining ingredients & mix well. Try using your mixer with dough hooks.

    Press into a 9×9 or double recipe for a 9×13 pan. Sprinkle chips over top & press into surface. Refrigerate. Cut into 1″ or 2″ squares or 1″ x 2″ bars.

    Refrigerate. Store in individual zip-lock snack-size bags for easy service.

    *Did you know that honey is the only food that does not mold?
