Don’t you love it when you have leftovers that you don’t know what to do with?
This happens to me all time where I make something in bulk and then either run out of one of the key ingredients I was eating with it or I just get tired of having it, but don’t want to waste what I already made.
I experienced this recently with my Chocolate Protein Spread because I was using it to recover with after a run by spreading it on my protein pancakes, but then I ran out of protein pancake and had nothing to spread it on. I could have just made a protein shake or something similar for after my workout, but I still felt like having the Spread and didn’t want to waste precious protein powder on something new when there was already so much of it in that Chocolate Protein Spread; you feel?
So, I did this!
Ingredients
- 1 mashed banana
- 2 heaping Tbs of Chocolate Protein Spread
- 1/2 cups of oats
- 3 Tbs of unsweetened coco powder
Directions
- Mash the banana up with a fork
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the mashed banana and stir
- Spread it our flat in either a small bread loaf-pan or a small freezer-safe container (I used a rectangular Tupperware container that I have and it fit perfect).
- Place in freezer for about 2 hours (depends on thickness).
- After 2 hours, remove and cut into squares.
Ways to make it more fun:
- Add in chocolate chips or Rice Crispies to the mixture for a really nice crunch in the bar when you eat it
- Drizzle some sunbutter or melted chocolate over it halfway into freezing time
- Mix some coconut shavings up with orange zest and a tiny-bit of orange oil (optional) and sprinkle that over the bars before serving.
