Since they’re no-bake, you can make them with little fuss and lots of flexibility to add your own twist and preferences. The cashew butter base is very dense and filling, with protein adding a muscle-building element and maca to stimulate endurance.

Cashew and Oat Protein Bars
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Sprouted Oats
- 1 cup Raw Cashews
- 1/2 cup Shredded Coconut
- 1/2 cup Cashew Butter
- 2 scoops protein or collagen powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 4 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 4 tbsp Hemp Seeds
- 6 tbsp Oat Milk
- 2 tbsp Maca
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
How To:
- Pulse the dry ingredients (except the chocolate) in a food processor until ‘crumbly’. Add in the wet ingredients and pulse until thoroughly mixed.
- Add in the chocolate chips and pulse a few more times, just to slightly break up the chocolate.
- Line a brownie pan (I actually used a fridge organizer bin for better bar size * see photo) with parchment and press the cashew mixture firmly in.
- Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes, cut, and wrap.
