\"These<\/a><\/p>\n

My love affair with these matcha protein bars began when I was doing my 200 hour YTT and basically had to pack 3 meals a day + snacks for an entire weekend. We were in the studio Friday night, all day Saturday and all day Sunday. Not to mention the fact that we were doing yoga at least 50% of the time. All to say… we were HUNGRY.<\/p>\n

No matter how much food I’d back, my tummy would inevitably start rumbling and whenever we’d have a quick 10 minute break I’d run a couple blocks over to Urban Remedy<\/a> and grab a snack. 9 times out of 10 I’d reach for their Matcha Protein Bar. It became my saving grace, not only providing me with the energy I needed to get through the day, but also a small dose of caffeine to physically stay awake.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, years later, I’m still equally as addicted to these bars but don’t live close enough to grab one and<\/em> don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on them. They certainly aren’t cheap! But they’re delicious and full of healthy ingredients so I’ve never felt bad buying them. And then I had a thought: what if I tried making them at home? It only took a few recipes tweaks but we finally have the perfect Matcha Protein Bar Recipe.<\/p>\n

HOW TO MAKE MATCHA PROTEIN BARS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A few key points when making these matcha protein bars:<\/em><\/p>\n

-Use high quality, food-grade matcha. You can taste the difference! We like this one<\/a><\/p>\n

-A neutral-flavored plant-based protein powder is key (we like this one<\/a>). You can use whatever protein powder you have but for a taste similar to the original that isn’t too sweet, go with something neutral or vanilla-flavored.<\/p>\n

-Keep these stored in the fridge. You can keep them out for a few hours, but they will soften. If I’m out for the day I will put them in a glass tupperware so they don’t lose their shape.<\/p>\n

-Whether or not your coconut butter melts depends on the brand. If it doesn’t melt, no biggie! Just combine with matcha and spread overtop the base and it will solidify on top just as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n
