Ingredients
- 2 cups thick coconut yogurt or greek yogurt
- 5 tbsp protein powder *see notes
- 3-4 tbsp maple syrup honey
- pinch sea salta
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- any mix-in's you'd like (optional) - chopped dates, cacao nibs, nuts for crunch!
Peanut butter cups
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp protein powder *optional
Instructions
Peanut butter cups
- Make the peanut butter cups - melt the chocolate in a small bowl until smooth. Add a little to the bottom of your chocolate cup molds or mini muffin pans. Freeze for a few minutes until firm. In another small bowl, combine the peanut butter and protein (optional). Add a little of the peanut butter mixture on top of the each chocolate crevice. Then top with remaining chocolate. Return to the freezer for an hour or so to firm up. Note: you can make big peanut butter cups in a standard muffin tin and then chop them into small pieces after as well!
Bars
- In a bowl, mix together all of the yogurt bar ingredients. Taste and adjust as you'd like (you can add a little extra maple syrup/honey if needed).
- Pour the yogurt mixture into a parchment lined loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. You can sprinkle the homemade peanut butter cups over top or fold them into the yogurt prior to pouring into the pan. If you don't want to make peanut butter cups, you can also stir chocolate chips into the yogurt.
- Place in the freezer for 2-3 hours until completely solid. Then remove from the freezer. Let them thaw on the counter for 10 minutes or so to make them easier to cut. Cut into bars. Then move to an air-tight container and store in the freezer!
- Let thaw for 5 minutes or so prior to eating for the creamiest texture!

Notes
Protein powder - Be sure to use a protein powder you love, as it'll affect the flavor. You can also omit the powder altogether.
if you don't want to make the peanut butter cups, you can simply fold chocolate chips into the yogurt!
