We’re kicking off Reader Request Week with these Coconut Dusted Chocolate Protein Bars!
I’ve been receiving some great recipe requests from readers, and I figured I’d get a bunch made and have a Reader Request Week! The Protein Whoopie Pie request that sparked Protein Marshmallow Fluff Week was a great success, so let’s keep it going!
This request came from a reader who wanted a home recipe for the chocolate protein balls she was buying regularly. I took a look at the ingredient list, and tried recreating the taste and texture with the clean foods and protein powders I use often. I also tried to keep the ingredient list to a minimum, but you can always add in the extras I left out, like sesame seeds and sunflower kernels.
Since the dough for this recipe shapes well as bars or balls, I decided to call them Coconut Dusted Chocolate Protein Bars. But feel free to shape them as you like! Either way, they’re delicious!
