No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Protein Bars

Vegan Cacao Almond Butter Bites recipe by Heather Rinder, on HeatherRinder.com

When I’m craving something sweet, it’s usually almond butter or dark chocolate, and these delicious little bars have both. Not only are they a healthy dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, and paleo dessert, you only need four ingredients to make them. This recipe also requires no baking time - just pop the bars into the freezer until they’re firm. I added a little sea salt on top of them too.

In the original recipe by Beaming Baker you can make these as energy balls instead of bars if you prefer! Follow me on @HeatherRinderHealth for more healthy recipes, workout ideas, and wellness tips.
