1 scoop (30 grams or ¼ cup) whey protein, raspberry (I used Whey Gourmet Raspberry. Could also use vanilla, and add 2 tsp freeze dried raspberries)
2 tsp almond meal (just ground up almonds)
½ oz (1 oz square cut in half) white chocolate, chopped (I used Baker's White Chocolate)
Instructions
For a firm bar
Heat the 2 Tbsp of VitaFiber Syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. When it just starts to bubble, remove from heat and immediately add protein powder, almond meal. Stir it around until it comes together
Place mixture in a plastic bag and knead until it starts to cool down. It will form into a bar.
Add in the chopped white chocolate once its cooled a bit. Still might melt a little.
For a softer bar
In a small bowl, combine the VitaFiber syrup, whey protein, almond meal and chopped white chocolate. Mixture will be slightly sticky to the touch.
From here, it can be stored in a plastic bag, or you could also bake it in a 350 degree F oven for 5 minutes, or microwave for 15-20 seconds, as you would to a regular Quest bar.
