    This Weetbix slice is a naturally sweetened clean eating treat, packed with protein and wholefood ingredients, many of which are pantry staples.  Quick and easy to make, full of fibre and perfect as a grab and go breakfast option, as a pre workout snack, or even as a mid afternoon pick me up.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for weetbix slice

    Ingredient Notes

    • Weetbix:  I sued regular sanitarium weetbix, but you could also use gluten free weetbix, or the protein weetbix.  Just make sure to use a plain flavour.  Weetabix is the weetbix version if you’re in the UK or US.
    • Dates:  medjool dates are the best for this recipe as they are soft ands caramel like.
    • Apricots:  I recommend good quality dried apricots.  My preferred brand is Angus Park.
    • Protein Powder:  Any chocolate protein powder will work. I used Genetix Nutrition Lean WPI Chocolate Bomb Flavour Protein Powder and I buy it from Nutrition Warehouse in Australia. 
    • Peanut Butter:  I recommend sugar free peanut butter, or natural peanut butter.  These are available from Coles and Woolworths in Australia.

    I decided to make a weetbix slice with protein powder because I wanted a protein packed snack that I could have on hand.  One that was going to fill me up and was yummy.  Sure I could just have a protein shake, but this idea was so much more appealing, and it didn’t disappoint.

    You can definitely taste the weetbix in this chocolate slice, buts its subtle, and I can’t even taste the protein powder.  What I can taste, is nuttiness, chocolate, peanut butter and fruity sweetness.

    Snacks that have protein powder in them:

    • Keep you fuller for longer
    • Help you to get your daily protein intake
    • Are fun to eat
    • Are portable
    • And help to keep cravings at bay

    Your Questions Answered

    What size tin to use

    I used a large loaf tin 28cm x 13cm.  You could also use a square tin that is around 20cm x 20 cm.

    How long does it keep for

    This slice keeps for 1 week in the fridge.  Make sure to store it in an air tight container.

    Can it be frozen

    Whilst I haven’t tried to freeze it (it all gets eaten within a week!), I wouldn’t recommend freezing it.

    Can it be made without protein powder

    Yes.  If you don’t want to use protein powder, leave it out, along with the water.  The recipe will be just as good!

    What types of protein powder work best

    I love using a chocolate flavoured protein powder. I prefer to use Whey Protein Powders, and my favourite brands are Bare Blends and Genetix.  For this recipe, I used Genetix Nutrition Lean WPI Chocolate Bomb Flavour Protein Powder.  I would avoid using vanilla flavoured powder.

    weetbix slice pieces on a cutting board

    If you’ve grown up eating weetbix for breakfast as a kid, why not try making a chocolate weetbix slice that can not only double as breakfast on the go, but also as a pre workout snack.  It’s a double duty snack that’s easy to make, high protein, filling and sure to satisfy sweet cravings.
