Are you looking for an idea for a protein snack recipe that is easy to make and will support you? Here is the recipe for my new protein bar, perfect for a nutritious afternoon snack to which you can add your portion of carbohydrates (see article by Marie-Noël Marsan, Nutritionist: The ABC of the ideal snack).
This bar is also great as a pre or post workout snack.
INGREDIENTS :
- 1 cup GoGo Quinoa buckwheat flakes
- 2 whole eggs
- 1/3 to ½ cup 70% organic dark chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds*
- 2 scoops of Atp Lab protein - Organic Vegan Vanilla Blend (or for beaks very chocolatey, you could opt for the ATP LAB protein blend - Organic Vegan Blend with Dark Chocolate)
- 1/3 to ½ cup unsweetened nut drink (I love Natura's unsweetened coconut almond drink)
PREPARATION:
- Mix all dry ingredients in a medium bowl
- Add the eggs and the nut drink
- Mix vigorously until combined
- Add nut drink as needed. Be careful, it is important not to add too much liquid. We are looking for a cookie texture (theoretically you could make energy balls).
- Spread on a baking mat or a baking sheet covered with parchment paper
- Bake at 350F for 8 minutes.
- Cut into rectangles
- Let sit and refrigerate in an airtight glass container.
*Add pumpkin seeds for crunch and a good dose of ZINC. (you can consult the article The 10 foods richest in zinc , you will find a description of the benefits of zinc).
Zinc, this trace element which:
➡️ Boost the immune system (that’s good, winter is coming))
➡️ Participates in more than 320 biochemical reactions
➡️ Participates in the synthesis of testosterone and its balance
➡️ Promotes the synthesis of testosterone to DHT (the testosterone responsible for prostate enlargement and hair loss)
