NO BAKE KETO PROTEIN BARS

NO BAKE KETO PROTEIN BARS


A delicious low carb protein bar recipe which is keto friendly and takes less than 5 minutes! Made with just 4 ingredients, these thick, chewy and fudgy protein bars require no baking and can be made with or without protein powder! 

If you're working out more often, make a concerted effort to ensure you have a protein-rich snack after every workout.
Keto protein bars are something which is VERY difficult to find.
Having a quick look at some packaged protein bars, unfortunately, many are not actually low carb and only a handful are keto friendly. Those that are suitable for a keto diet are loaded with artificial sweeteners, it’s perhaps not the best choice.
The beauty of a keto recipe is that it is naturally low carb and sugar free, so there is NO need to include protein powder! Bonus? Not only are these homemade protein bars keto friendly, they are also suitable for a paleo, vegan and gluten-free diet! 
Protein bars tend to have a bad wrap for not being overly delicious and having an odd texture. 
Taste-wise, they are like a sweet piece of fudge, with no bitter aftertaste. 
In terms of texture, they are thick, chewy and slightly fudgy, thanks to the coconut flour and tahini. 
To make my homemade keto protein bar recipe, you only need FOUR (or 5!) ingredients-
  • Coconut Flour
  • Tahini
  • Keto Maple Syrup
  • Granulated Sweetener of choice
  • Chocolate Chips (optional!)

I tend to rarely offer substitutions when using coconut flour, as it has very unique properties. Unlike other flours, coconut flour acts like a sponge and soaks up liquids.

However, as this recipe requires zero baking, there are two options you can try.
Replace the coconut flour with blanched almond flour, but double the amount. If the batter is still too crumbly, continue adding more until it is thick,
If you don’t follow a grain-free or keto diet, you can use gluten-free oat flour. Like the almond flour, you will need to double the amount. 


Instructions
  1. Line an 8 x 8-inch pan or loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine your coconut flour and granulated sweetener and mix well. Set aside.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl or stovetop, combine your tahini with your syrup and heat until melted.
  4. Combine your wet ingredients with your dry ingredients and mix well. If the batter is too thin, add extra coconut flour. If the batter is too thick, add a little milk to thin out.
  5. Pour the protein bar batter into the lined pan and press firmly into place. Top with chocolate chips and refrigerate until firm. Cut into bars and enjoy.

CANNABIS CULTIVATION IN THE NETHERLANDS

While Dutch authorities allow the sale of recreational cannabis in coffee shops, cultivation and wholesale for that market remains completely illegal. They are however now planning to become the first country in Europe to allow commercial production of adult-use marijuana – under  what they call wietexperiment (weed experiment). In other words a limited number of companies would be allowed to legally grow marijuana to supply coffee shops in the country that would, in turn, sell the products to consumers. These licenses will only be released from early 2020 and the requirements for such companies would be having a business plan in place, responsible for the cultivation, quality control, packaging, transport, etc. The experiment in question is no simply undertaking. Here is an outline of the facts and what will take place to achieve this temporary experiment: Currently, the Netherlands has 573 coffee shops spread over the 103 municipalities that allow them. The experiment w

THE BENEFITS OF THE CANNABIS MARKET IN PORTUGAL

Portugal is ideal for its Californian type climate for cannabis cultivation, the country’s young, educated workforce and its major agricultural sector. Cannabis possession was decriminalized in 2001 in Portugal, but it later fell behind other approved countries in legalizing cannabis for medical purposes. It was only approved on 15 June 2018 for medical use, and Decree No. 8 was published in the official gazette on 15 January 2019 creating new legislation governing the cultivation, extraction, commercial preparation, local distribution, import and export, transit and sale of cannabis. Infarmed, the Government Health Ministry Agency in Portugal, have provided a list of conditions qualifying for medical cannabis, given that all conventional treatment methods have been unsuccessful: Epilepsy and treatment of severe seizure disorders in childhood Chronic pain associated with oncological or nervous system conditions Spasticity associated with mul
