Coffee Shop Cake
Peanut Butter Protein Bars
This is based on my almond butter protein bar recipe above. I just switched a few things up. This one is actually easier to make.
Ingredients
• 1 cup natural peanut butter
• 1 cup vanilla MD Protein
• 1/4 cup real honey
• 2 tablespoons almond flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 ounces 100% cacao baker’s chocolate, unsweetened (half a bar) + optional spoonful of baker’s Splenda
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or MCT oil
• 5-6 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk or whatever you like
Instructions
-
Mix the dry ingredients together in a big bowl: protein powder, almond flour, and salt.
-
Add the wet ingredients minus the coconut/MCT oil: peanut butter, honey, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick batter forms.
-
Press the batter into a square pan lined with parchment paper.
-
Chop the baker’s chocolate bar into small pieces and top with coconut or MCT oil. Melt in microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and nuke again for 30 seconds. At this point you can stir in some Splenda or whatever sweetener you like, or leave it extra dark.
-
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top. Optional: Hit it with a sprinkle of coarse salt.
-
Refrigerate until the chocolate sets, cut into bars, and try not to eat them all in one day.
Here’s what it looks like before you top it with melted chocolate:

I give it five stars!
Based on the ingredients, you can assume this is not a low calorie dessert, but it’s definitely a high-satiety one. I woke up this morning pretty hungry so I grabbed one bar, and it fueled me through a few hours that included our morning dog walk and my workout.
Hot take: It’s the most delicious and decadent protein dessert either of us have ever made.

I just ran the macros. Definitely more of a meal replacement bar than a dessert. Of course, people can also always divide it into 12 squares instead of 6 big bars. We may need to do that so I can control myself.
Sweet potato and pork belly hash, Korean seasoning. Had this at 503W, a cool little chefy place in Colorado Springs.
We don’t eat out often, but when we do I always try to find something a little different. This one gave me some great ideas for an at-home version (that will be twice the size and won’t cost $15).

Whoops, We Forgot to Thaw a Protein for Dinner Tuna Tostada
Hey, it happens. So Dani whipped us up a few of these. Canned tuna, baked corn tortilla, paleo ranch dressing, seasoning, avocado. Pretty darn good for a punt meal. Might be a new weekend lunch staple.

Good find here. I wasn’t sure a TV show tie-in product would be good, but this stuff is fantastic with no added junk. Picked it up at Walmart and also found it HERE on Amazon.

Cranberry Protein Cream
I had doubts about this recipe for some reason. Seemed too simple. Now I want more, but grocery stores only seem to carry cranberries around Christmas because you can only eat certain foods during certain holidays. #NotaFact

Guess what I’m going to make next?
Well, I’m going to try to make a high-protein, no-sugar version at least. We shall see.

First donut dough and glaze experiment: cinnamon vanilla.
I like to make single-serving versions of certain recipes to see how they work out. This one is okay (I mean, I ate it), but it’s not there yet. I didn’t bother with the donut pan, so this also looks like a unicorn turd.
Used oat flour along with the MD Protein, but a gluten-free blend is probably going to work best. Might try almond flour, too.

Lol. Your sense of humor is improving.
Now, if you tell me the quoted part is a double entendre…

Breakfast Bread Muffins and Muffnuts
This is just a variation of my breakfast bread recipe, found HERE, minus the blueberries plus extra walnuts. I also tried powdered monk fruit instead of the usual Splenda.
I used a donut pan for a few of these to see if that worked, but I overfilled the pan and made “muffnuts.” Dani came up with that word so that’s what they’re called now.
