Greek Yogurt PB Fit Protein Bars Recipe

Introduction

These Greek Yogurt PB Fit Protein Bars are a perfect blend of creamy, nutty, and chocolaty flavors. They make a convenient and healthy snack, packed with protein and easy to prepare in just a few simple steps.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1/2 cup powdered peanut butter (like PB Fit or PB2)
• 1/3 cup fat free Greek yogurt (can also use vegan yogurt)
• 3-4 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a clean bowl, mix the dry ingredients: vanilla protein powder and powdered peanut butter.

3. Step 3: Fold in the mini chocolate chips if using.
4. Step 4: Shape the dough into a rectangular mound and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container.
5. Step 5: Freeze the dough for at least 30 minutes to an hour to allow it to set.
6. Step 6: Slice the set dough into 5 bars.
7. Step 7: Enjoy your protein-packed snack!

Tips & Variations

• Use vegan yogurt to make this recipe dairy-free and suitable for vegans.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
• Substitute mini chocolate chips with chopped nuts, dried fruit, or seeds for different textures.

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. You can also keep them in the refrigerator for a few days, but they will be softer. Let frozen bars sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for easier biting.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of powdered peanut butter?

Regular peanut butter contains more oil and moisture, which will change the texture of the bars. Powdered peanut butter is recommended for a firmer, more manageable dough.

Can I make these bars without chocolate chips?

Yes, the chocolate chips are optional. You can skip them or substitute them with other mix-ins like nuts, seeds, or dried fruit according to your preference.
