These flavour-packed protein bars make the perfect pre-workout snack.  They have just the right amount of carbs, fat and protein to fuel you through that workout.

It’s also a great way to use up any left over sweet potato.  Pop one or two in your bag before hitting the gym!

Ingredients

1. 2 scoops (60g) of vanilla protein powder (I used Plant Fusion)
2. 1/2 cup PB2 powder
3. 1/2 tsp baking powder
4. 1/8 tsp salt
5. 100g sweet potato, cooked, mashed
6. 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
7. 2 Tbsp melted butter
8. 1 tsp almond, caramel, vanilla or your favourite flavour of extract
9. 1 whole egg
10. 1 egg white (about 2 Tbsp)
11. 10-15 drops of liquid stevia

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Add the dry ingredients (protein powder, PB2, baking powder and salt) to a medium bowl, mix well.
3. Add the remaining wet ingredients (sweet potato, almond milk, butter, extract, eggs and stevia) to another bowl, mix well.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. The batter will be quite thick. You can add a bit of water or milk to thin it out if it is not spreadable.
5. Spray an 8 x 8 inch baking dish and spread the batter evenly into the baking dish.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the centre.
7. Allow to fully cool before cutting into bars.
8. Wrap bars in cellophane and keep refrigerated.
