Triple Chocolate Avocado Protein Bars

If you don't like chocolate, then stop reading NOW!  Seriously, stop this very second because these Triple Chocolate Avocado Protein Bars are chocolate dense morsels of protein deliciousness.  These bars were so darn delicious that I couldn't even wait until the topping dried to take my pictures!  I even brought them to my office and before I was done work, only a small bite was left!

As I have mentioned before in previous posts, I am on a mission of trying to get the world to stop buying protein bars and start making them at home.

Why am I on this quest?

Well, first off, store-bought protein bars are mostly filled with ingredients that the average human can not even pronounce.  Chemicals and genetically modified ingredients make up 90% of all protein bars on the market.

Now, even though there are a few "healthy" ones out there, at over $2 a bar, your piggy bank will be empty in no time and I really don't want you to go broke.  Being broke is not fun...trust me, I was there when I was in college.  We actually use to save tea bags to be reused just to save a few bucks!

Oops...got off on a tangent...back to the protein bars.

These bars are soooooooo easy to make.  I did it on purpose to only weigh my ingredients instead of using measuring cups.  Why do you ask?  Simply because this saves having to do extra dishes.

As I have I told you all before, I love to cook but I HATE doing dishes!

How to make Triple Chocolate Avocado Protein Bars

By using a food scale, all you have to do is measure out all the ingredients, stir them together and bake them in the oven.  30 minutes later you have a protein bar with only 140 calories, 8.8 grams of healthy fats, over 5 grams of fibre and almost 10 grams of protein.  As for the sugar content, each bar only has 1 gram of sugar.

BEAT THAT MANUFACTURED PROTEIN BARS!:-)

Dense, chocolatey and delicious, try these bars and see if you ever buy another protein bar again!

Ingredients

Units USM Scale 1x2x3x

• 6 oz mashed avocado (approximately 1 medium avocado)
• 5 oz liquid egg whites
• 3 oz chocolate pea protein (I use Orgain Chocolate Pea Protein Powder)
• 1 oz cocoa powder, unsweetened
• ⅓ cup sweetener (I use Pyure)
• 1 tsp salt

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients (except chocolate chips) and beat well.  Add chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.  Pour mixture into loaf pan and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
3. Remove from oven and let cool.  As bars cool, prepare the chocolate ganache by placing the chocolate, oil and cream in a small microwaveable dish.  Cook for 15-30 seconds or until all ingredients have melted and can be stirred together.  Carefully pour ganache over protein bars and let cool.
