This might just be my favourite recipe I’ve created to date!
For me, this serves the purpose of what protein bars used to for me with v similar macros:

  • easy to grab and go,
  • doesn’t look weird to eat around friends or colleagues,
  • decent protein & relatively low cal,
  • wouldn’t mind sharing with them.

Also super easy to chuck together with v few ingredients, perfect for long days when I get back from work at 9pm and am completely exhausted 🥲
