Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Protein Bars

I live a crazy hectic lifestyle and I NEED to eat every 2-3 hrs or I get very cranky! I love my protein bars, but it does get pretty expensive when I rely on store bought bars to get me through my week. I have created a few protein bar recipes, all with different flavors and textures. You will have to let me know what you think! Lets start from the beginning, shall we?

• Gather all ingredients. Prepare a large cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper, covering the top of sheet.

• Put Kashi cereal into food processor and grind up for a few seconds until finely ground.

• Pour cereal into a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients except for the coconut oil. Mix well with hands.

• Scoop coconut oil into a small dish and microwave for about 15 seconds until melted.

• Pour oil into bowl and mix well into the other ingredients with hands. The mixture will harden up pretty quickly, so mix quick!

• Spread mixture onto prepared cookie sheet and press down firmly.

• Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes, until bars are completely firm.

• Take out of the freezer and cut into equal bars (using a large knife).

• Individually wrap the bars in seran wrap or ziploc baggie for easy access throughout the week. Keep refrigerated until ready to eat.
