Ingredients

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
