CHERRY & DARK CHOCOLATE PROTEIN BARS

CHERRY & DARK CHOCOLATE PROTEIN BARS 

Ingredients 

1/2 cup of vanilla whey 
1/4 cup of oat flour (or sub this with some almond flour) 
1/4 cup of coconut flour (could sub with ground almonds too) 
1/4 cup of almond milk 
16 cherries 
50 grams of 90% dark chocolate 

Directions: Start by pitting your cherries and blend half of them with the whey + coconut flour + oatflour + milk. Then, chop the rest of your cherries and add them to the batter, mixing everything around with as spoon so as to retain the chopped cherries' texture. Shape this mix into four bars. If it's too wet or sticky, add a bit more coconut flour (or vanilla casein). After this, melt your chocolate in a bain marie (a glass bowl on top of a pot of boiling water) and either dip the bars in there or spoon the melted chocolate on the bars to coat them. Finally, just leave them to set in the freezer for about an hour and baaam: ready :-)
