Homemade CBD Protein Bar

Want to muscle up while slimming down all while avoiding normal ‘healthy’ protein bars and snacks? If so, you’ll love this CBD-infused take on the protein bar. Ditch the store-bought stuff — this homemade recipe gives you total control over what you put in your body!

Ingredients

• Oats (2 cups)
  Oats are incredibly nutritious, rich in antioxidants, and an amazing source of fiber. Plus they’re a perfect base for treats of the protein-rich variety.
  
  
• Almond butter (½ cup)
  Those extra enthusiastic about almond butter (aka 95% of online readers) can feel free to throw a few extra tablespoons in — the ½ cup value is merely a baseline recommendation. Besides, it’s brain food...
  
  
• Hemp seeds (1 cup) 
  Though CBD gets more attention than other hemp derivatives, even the plant’s seeds deserve some attention! They’re full of omega 3’s, iron, and B vitamins...and the crunch factor is phenomenal.
  
  
• Relief CBD Oil (100 mg, 2 droppers)
  What’s life without a little CBD? Our Relief oil makes an appearance here for a reason: its powerful blend of CBD + terpenes may help your body find stable energy and break free from chronic inflammation.
  
  
• Chopped almonds (¼ cup)
  Almonds are known as the food of the gods for a reason. Like the hemp seeds that precede them, almonds are rich in healthy fats and proteins.
   
• Dried blueberries (1 cup)
  The perfect additions to provide this recipe a sweet + chewy element.
  
  
• Cinnamon (½ tablespoon)
  We all know cinnamon is delicious. And just think of how delicious your kitchen will smell when you sprinkle this into the bowl…
  
  
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  Vanilla + cinnamon: it’s a winning combination, so feel free to sprinkle that teaspoon on liberally.
  
  
• Ginger (1 teaspoon)
  With the inclusion of just a little ginger, this recipe has everything! Sugar, spice, and everything nice, that is.
  
  
• Honey (2 teaspoons)
  2 teaspoons of honey give these bars just the right amount of sweetness. Delicious, but not overpowering.
  
  
• Almond milk (½ cup)
  What’s more satisfying than almond milk? Ice cream, maybe...but since this recipe aims to help you stick with your 2020 wellness goals, not distract you from them, almond milk it is.
  
  
• Cacao nibs (1 cup)
  A little goes a long way with cocoa nibs. Think of them like the unfiltered, unprocessed precursor to chocolate — they’re good.
  
  
• Coconut flakes (1 cup)
  Just a little something tropical, you know? Opt for the unsweetened variety — there are plenty of other good sweetness sources here.
