Why you should make these Fat Fast Bars

• You can adjust the ratio of fat and protein to hit your macros

• They are much cheaper than buying store-bought fat fast bars

Why you should eat more cocoa butter

Cocoa butter, derived from the fat of cocoa beans, is a natural fat that is often used in the production of chocolate, cosmetics, and personal care products. While it's calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation, cocoa butter does have some potential health benefits:

1. Rich in Antioxidants: Cocoa butter contains antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, which can help combat oxidative stress in the body. Antioxidants are known to neutralize free radicals, reducing the risk of chronic diseases and promoting overall health.
2. Heart Health: Some studies suggest that moderate consumption of dark chocolate, which contains cocoa butter, may be associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. The antioxidants in cocoa butter, along with certain flavonoids, can help improve cardiovascular health by reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow.
3. Skin Health: Cocoa butter is widely used in skincare products due to its moisturizing properties. It contains fatty acids, which help hydrate and nourish the skin, making it a popular ingredient in lotions, creams, and lip balms.
4. Stable at High Temperatures: Cocoa butter has a high smoke point, which means it remains stable at high temperatures. This makes it suitable for cooking and baking, especially for recipes that require high heat.
5. Source of Healthy Fats: Cocoa butter primarily consists of healthy fats, including oleic acid, stearic acid, and palmitic acid. These fats, when consumed in moderation, can be part of a balanced diet and contribute to overall bodily functions.

Ingredients for Copycat Brick Bars

• Cocoa butter - This is the main ingredient necessary to make these high fat protein bars. I highly suggest Wild Foods Cocoa Butter Waffers as they have the best taste in my opinion.
• MCT Powder - MCT powder (which stands for Medium-chain triglycerides) can be purchased online. I like to use either the plain or chocolate Now MCT Protein Powder with Whey
• Protein Powder - You are best to use a combination of protein powders for the best flavour and texture. I love using a combination of Magnum Quattro Milkshake series along with Nutricost Vanilla Casein.
• Baking Soda and Additional Sweetener - Adding some baking soda will help round out the flavour and then if needed, feel free to add additional sweetener for taste.
• Optional - To make these copycat Brick bars a little creamier than the original Brick bar, I like to add a little Organic Vegetable shortening or some unsweetened chocolate. If I am making a peanut butter chocolate copycat Brick bar, I will use a tablespoon of peanut butter along with some peanut butter protein powder.

There are 2 ways in which you can make these high fat protein bars depending on whether you want your copycat Brick bars to be shelf stable or not.

Easy Keto Protein Bar Variations

If you are attempting the copycat Brick bar recipe that is shelf stable, I do NOT suggest altering the recipe at all. However, if you are ok with an easy keto protein bar that is not shelf stable, have fun with this recipe are try these variations!

• Peanut butter - replace the organic palm shortening with peanut butter and use peanut butter flavoured protein powder
