Ingredients
-
1 cup Bethany's Pantry Vanilla Digestive Support Protein
-
1 cup thick Greek yogurt or skyr (full-fat preferred for best texture)
-
¼ cup filtered water (add gradually as needed)
-
Mini chocolate chips to taste (for topping)
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine Bethany's Pantry Vanilla DSP and thick Greek yogurt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes very crumbly and well combined.
Add ¼ cup of water and continue mixing. The mixture should start coming together into a dough-like consistency. If it's still too dry, add 1 tablespoon more water and continue mixing. Be careful not to add too much water or the mixture will become loose.
If the mixture becomes too wet, simply add more DSP until you achieve the right consistency - it should hold together when pressed but not be sticky.
Using clean hands, knead the mixture until it forms one large, cohesive ball of "dough."
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a clean surface. Transfer the dough ball to the parchment and shape it into a large rectangle about ½ inch thick.
If using chocolate chips, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the rectangle and gently press them into the surface.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the rectangle into 4 equal XL bars (or your desired size and shape).
Place each bar in the refrigerator with parchment paper between each one, or store in a ziplock-type bag. Chill for at least 2 hours to firm up.
For longer storage, freeze the bars - they thaw quite fast when you're ready to enjoy them!
Recipe Note
Texture is Key: The mixture should be like cookie dough - moldable but not sticky. Start with less water and add gradually until you get the perfect consistency.
Greek Yogurt Choice: Use the thickest Greek yogurt or skyr you can find. Full-fat varieties work best for texture and flavor.
Storage Tips: Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Frozen bars thaw quickly at room temperature.
Customization: Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, or other mix-ins like chopped nuts or seeds for variety.
Macro Comparison: Each homemade bar has 26g protein vs 15g in Perfect Bar, plus 185 fewer calories and 14g less sugar!
