If you’ve been on a strict paleo, bulletproof, or autoimmune diet, you already know how challenging it can be to find on the go snacks and protein options. I’ve searched high and low for affordable options but these can be few and far between. This recipe for Paleo protein bars can be made with as little as 3 ingredients and completed in less then 15 minutes. Whip up a quick batch to use during your busy week, vacations, or a pre or post workout snack!

In the Paleo version, choose ingredients that are organic. If you’re on the bulletproof, Autoimmune, or the Body Burn diet I’ve listed options for those as well.

Bullet Proof Version

If you are on the bulletproof diet, you’ll want to use a grass-fed whey protein option. Nuts are not a favorite in this meal plan but Dave does use them in his own protein bars. Choose a high quality, organic, cashew butter if you decide to add them to your recipe. If you’d like to add a thin layer of chocolate and coconut flakes to the recipe (as I did), choose a very high concentration of dark chocolate. You could even use one of the Bulletproof chocolate bars as your topping.

Body Burn Quick Start / Autoimmune Diet

You can opt to leave out the nut butter if you are sensitive. Im my case, I can’t tolerate dairy. Change the protein powder to a vegan option (vanilla or chocolate). I have also tried using the Bone Broth protein. However, if you use that type you will need to add in some sort of sweetener to cut some of the bitterness of the bone broth protein powder. I opted for xylitol and erythritol.

Ingredients

1 cup of coconut flour

4 scoops of flavored protein powder

1/2 cup of dairy free milk (I used coconut milk)

1/2 cup of nut butter (optional)

Dairy Free chocolate (optional)

Coconut flakes (optional)

Chocolate Bar (optional)

Instructions

Before you begin, line a baking sheet with wax paper. Cut to fit so it lays flat within the baking pan. Spray or coat it with oil (such as coconut oil).

In a large bowl, mix the coconut flour, and 4 scoops of protein powder. Mix well so the powders are combined.

If you are using a nut butter add that in after combining your dry ingredients. It’s best if it’s room temperature or slightly warm.

Next, add in half of your milk. Combine. Then add in the second half of your milk. Combine once more.

Pour your mixture on to your pre-greased baking sheet with wax paper. Use your hands or a hard spatula to press into it’s shape. The spatula also allows you to pack the sides of the bars evenly.

Optional: Melt a bar of dark chocolate (with very low sugar content). I use the Endangered Species brand. Pour the melted chocolate over the bars and spread evenly.

Optional: Sprinkle some organic, unsweetened coconut flakes over the melted chocolate.

Place in the fridge to harden, then cut into bars.
