    Coconut Vanilla Protein Bars

    Coconut-Vanilla-Protein-Bars Australian Natural Protein Company

     

    Making your own bars are a great way to put your favourite ingredients 🤤 into a nutritious snack.

    These Coconut Vanilla Protein Bars are delicious with our Pure Vanilla Bean Grass-Fed Whey Protein with yummy coconut 🥥 which is a match made in heaven.

    Perfect for a 3pm pick me up or pair it with a morning cuppa on the go ☕. Also perfect for meal prepping!

     

    Coconuts are especially high in manganese, which is essential for bone health and the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and cholesterol. They're also rich in copper and iron, which help form red blood cells, as well as selenium, an important antioxidant that protects your cells!

    As well as coconut this recipe uses our Pure Vanilla Bean Grass-Fed Whey Protein powder which is flavoured with a high percentage of the world's best real vanilla bean, grown in rich pacific soil, harvested by ethical, humanitarian organisations. The farmers are valued, and dedicated craftspeople tending to each vanilla plant where beans take 3-5 years to grow. The vanilla bean is completely unrefined and uses innovative methods to foster the best natural taste.
