NOTE:
I’ve been getting a LOT of questions about being vegan, because the honey in the tea and the egg in the sushi are not vegan ingredients.

To clarify, I am NOT vegan- I am vegetarian, but I do eat mostly vegan. After I filmed this video, I realized everything but the honey and egg were vegan, so I decided to call it a vegan-friendly video, as both of those are easily substituted (honey with stevia or sugar, egg with smoked tofu). Hope that clears it up, and sorry If i mislead anyone! 🙂

↡ MORNING SNACK- 2:06

Homemade Protein Bar (recipe from this blog: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2014/09/18/sugar-free-granola-bars/)

Recipe:
“Chocolate Chip Banana Love Bars
(makes 5-6)

3/4 cup rolled oats or quick oats (60g)
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 cup protein powder (or see substitution note below) (I used Vanilla Vega) (35g)
1/4 cup peanut butter OR allergy-friendly alternative (60g)
2/3 cup mashed banana, as ripe as possible (160g)
handful chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips

Line a 7×5 pan with parchment paper (or double the recipe for an 8×8), and set aside. In a mixing bowl, stir all ingredients together until well-incorporated. (Note: I found these bars sweet enough without having to add any sugar, but if you use unsweetened protein powder or your bananas are not ripe enough, you may have to add some sweetener.) Transfer batter to the prepared pan, place another sheet of parchment or wax paper on the top. Smush down, spreading until the batter fills the bottom of the pan. Remove the second sheet of parchment. I opted to press some chocolate chips into the top at this time. (If you want sugar-free granola bars, use sugar-free chocolate chips or omit.) Freeze until firm, then cut into bars. For optimum freshness, store leftovers in the fridge a few days or freezer for up to a month. *Substitution Note: Although I have not tried it, readers have reported success in subbing 3 tbsp oat flour or oat bran for the protein powder.” -Chocolate Covered Katie Blog
