Most protein bars are ultra-processed and not great for your gut, so I started making my own!

These are my go-to bars. They’re no-bake, high in protein, and made with gut-friendly, anti-inflammatory whole foods. I batch them, freeze them, and always have them ready for a quick snack.

This bar has:
🌰 Healthy fats from nuts and seeds
🌱 Plant-based protein – using a good quality protein powder means you’ll stay fuller for longer and support muscle health
🌾 Fibre and polyphenols from chia seeds for gut and anti-inflammatory benefits

Ingredients (makes 12):
• 100g Medjool dates, roughly chopped
• 250g crunchy peanut butter
• 125g unflavoured plant-based protein powder
• 100g ground almonds
• 75g milled chia seeds
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 175ml water
• 150g dark chocolate (80%), roughly chopped
Optional toppings: • Pistachios, roughly chopped • Goji berries, roughly chopped • Coconut flakes • Cacao nibs
