The biggest impact on the flavor of these bars will be your protein powder. If your protein powder tastes like grass, then these protein bars are going to taste like grass. Sad, but true. I would opt for a vanilla versus a flavorless, unless you use a collagen peptide powder. Collagen seems to be the only powder that is really and truly flavorless. I could get behind using one of these for sure.
A thinner, drippy almond or cashew butter will work best. It will be easiest to mix up these protein bars if you use a nut butter that is moist, smooth and more on the runny side. I usually keep mine out of the fridge for about an hour to help loosen it up a bit.
When I say press, I mean PRESS these babies into the pan. If you want a really sturdy, dense bar, then you gotta put all your weight into it, sit on it, whatever you have to do, bring the power. The bars will be too flimsy if you don’t so when you think you have pressed hard enough, keep going.
Sprinkles often include food dyes. If you are looking to avoid food dyes, opt for sprinkles that are naturally dyed. There are actually a lot of them out there these days!

These protein bars came out great! The taste was on point and they didn't have the weird chalky texture that most store-bought protein bars have. Even my brother (who is an extremely picker eater) ate these and loved them! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
