No-Bake Almond Butter Protein Bars Print 18 LikeDislike By Kameryn Tanita Who remembers eating snickers ice cream bars as kids? I used to beg my mom to let me have them from the after-school snack bar and every now and then she’d cave and let me have one. These no bake almond butter protein bars taste really similar, only they have NO refined sugar and they are packed with collagen peptides. If you’re not familiar, collagen improves joint health, reduces joint stiffness, and builds bone strength. I add a scoop of Further Food Collagen to my tea in the morning, acai bowls and add it to my no-bake energy balls. Further Food Collagen contains 18 amino acids, including 8 essential amino acids, that aid in muscle and ligament repair, flexibility, and recovery. This makes these protein bars a great pre or post-workout snack, or even dessert.
Wayne November 13, 2018 at 7:37 amHow big is a SCOOP? Can I use no coconut ? Do seeds needs to be ground? If so how much? Reply ↓

Daniel February 20, 2018 at 6:14 pmI just made these today, and I did more or less enjoy them, I just found that the coconut oil made them really thick. The texture reminds plain butter or margarine. Maybe next time I’ll add less coconut oil and I’ll try to add some almond or coconut milk. Reply ↓
Recipe Team January 7, 2018 at 4:32 amTania: You can buy almond butter at most grocery stores-just make sure there is no added sugar. You can buy the collagen on the Further Food website here https://shop.furtherfood.com/collections/all-products/products/collagen-peptides-protein-powder Reply ↓
Tina August 9, 2017 at 11:42 amCan anything be substituted for the coconut oil and coconut flakes. I’m not suppose to each coconut with the medication I’m on. Reply ↓
Sullivan Street Eats Post authorAugust 10, 2017 at 8:02 amHi Tina! You can omit the unsweetened coconut flakes completely, or sub them with something else. To replace the coconut oil, I would try using 1-2 tablespoons of nut milk (almond, cashew, coconut) and adding more, if needed. You could also try using melted ghee Fourth and Heart makes a vanilla beach flavor – though ghee can have a stronger taste. Hope this helps! xo Reply ↓

Carlie May 25, 2017 at 6:05 amHello! I was wondering what the scoop measurement is equivalent to? I do not have the collegan powder and would like to substitute it 🙂 thank you! Reply ↓

Kameryn Tanita May 24, 2017 at 1:25 pmHi Zenaida,I haven’t tried making these with cashew butter yet, but as long as it’s creamy cashew butter you should be able to! The melted coconut oil helps make the consistency smoother, especially once you whisk all of the ingredients together! Reply ↓

The coconut oil mixed with the nut butter helps make the consistency smoother once everything is whisked together. Hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂 Reply ↓
