These protein bars are super easy to make and are delicious! They are also great to have pre or post-workout, as bananas are full of potassium, manganese and carbohydrates, which aids muscle function, bone development, metabolism and provides energy. If the batter is not thick enough, feel free to add more flour. You can omit or limit the sweetener, as bananas can be quite sweet on their own.
What you need
125g almond meal
125g coconut flour
50g of good quality protein powder
