Get your daily protein fix in the chocolatiest way possible.
Ingredients
- 100g pitted Medjool dates
- 180g smooth peanut butter or almond butter
- 60g coconut oil, melted
- 150g chocolate or chocolate peanut plant based protein powder*
- 20g raw cacao or cocoa powder
- 50g Linwoods Hemp Seeds
- 50g Linwoods Whole Chia Seeds
- 50g dark chocolate, melted (for topping)
Instructions
- Blend the Medjool dates and the melted coconut oil in a food processor until smooth.
- Add the protein powder and cacao powder and blend to form a thick paste.
- Add the seeds and pulse to combine.
- Line a 2lb standard loaf tin with baking paper.
- Transfer the bar mixture to the tin and leave to set in the fridge for 3 hours (or overnight). If you're short on time, you could also put it in the freezer for an hour.
- Slice into 7-8 bars and drizzle with melted chocolate.
- Store in the fridge for up to two weeks in a sealed container, or freeze for up to one month.
Recipe Notes
*It’s best to use a chocolate/chocolate peanut plant-based protein powder that contains a mixture of different plant proteins. 100% rice protein will be too chalky, whereas 100% pea protein will dry the mixture out. The one we used is a mixture of hemp, peanut, rice, pumpkin and sunflower seed protein.

That sounds lovely Jessica, just a quick question. The recipe calls for peanut or almond butter, at which point do you add it?
Whoops, well spotted Natali! I’ll have to get this updated 😳 the peanut/almond butter should go in at the same time as the protein powder and cacao powder 😊
Sounds lovely. What's a workout?
