Don’t want to read? JUMP to the recipe. Now, the funny thing is that I’m not celiac nor am I vegan. However, I find that when I focus on a real food diet my recipes tend to end up either vegan or gluten-free as the ingredients are healthy. As a matter of fact, I do have a few favorite store-bought snack options that no fit my criteria. However, homemade is best 😀 Since making the swap to a vegan protein powder I now have a few brands I love. Orgain Protein Powder is one of them and what I used for these chocolate protein balls. Orgain protein powder is allergy-friendly (no soy, gluten-free, kosher, etc), has no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners, and actually won Preventions Cleanest Packaged Food Award! It has 21 grams of vegan protein per scoop and it’s a clean enough brand that I feel comfortable giving it to my girls in the form of these vegan protein bars, smoothies and protein balls. If you want to give it a try, check it out and use code mamabear30 for 10% off your first-ever order. In contrast, some people don’t think kids should have protein powder. Personally, I think that as long as you have a quality protein powder and trust it’s the source, it’s okay. I have quite a few I love and trust including Orgain which I mentioned above, Iron Vegan and Genuine Health Fermented Protein Powder. Both of which you can buy off my favorite website. When checking out a new protein powder, especially if my kiddos are going to be using it, I like to look for a few of these points: But here’s a tip: if you’re not into protein powder- that’s ok! Instead of the powder, swap in collagen powder instead! In the same way, collagen is not only full of awesome protein but it’s also awesome to help boost your immune system- double win. You can grab collagen powder packs (I take these with us on long road trips!) from Perfect Suppplements and use code mamabear10 to save some money. Keep in mind that if you need this homemade vegan protein bars recipe to be vegan, collagen is not an option. Also, note that swapping to collagen powder will take away some of the sweetness in these homemade protein bars so you may want to counter that with a sweetener. Personally, I think that homemade protein bars can be used anytime ha-ha. We’re snack fiends so I like to have items like this on hand in the freezer for emergencies (Read: melting down, snack-deprived kid).
