CHEESECAKE PROTEIN BARS
Tasty and filling, these even make a satiating breakfast along with your coffee or tea. These freeze nicely. You can eat
them right out of the freezer or keep them in the refrigerator for a softer
texture. These were photographed freshly made. Protein bars are a great way to satisfy the sweet tooth, however, they have a bigger role to play than that. They can make a good snack or light meal and satiate the appetite for hours. Just look at how much protein are in these almost 21 grams....more than the protein in 3 eggs!
1/3 cup
powdered erythritol (75 mL)
sugar
1 tbsp whipping cream (15 mL)
1 tsp vanilla extract (5 mL)
2 cups vanilla whey protein
powder (500 mL)
2/3 cup
chopped whole raw almonds, (75 mL)
divided
In
food processor, process cream cheese, erythritol, liquid sweetener, whipping
cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add whey protein powder; process on slow speed. Stir in 1/3 cup (75 mL) chopped almonds.
Turn
out onto a cutting board. Press out into
a rectangle. Spread the remaining
almonds over the top and press into the protein bars to adhere. Cut into 8 bars. Freeze and later refrigerate or leave them in
the freezer.
Helpful Hint: I use the whey protein powder that is available in Walmart, called Equate Whey Protein Supplement in Smooth Vanilla flavor.
