Notes

These protein bars are SO incredibly easy and delicious, you are going to wonder why you ever wasted money on overpriced store-bought bars that taste like chalk. 

Tahini is a fantastic source of copper - a mineral that:

• supports iron absorption/prevents anemia
• supports ATP production (which reduces fatigue) 
• boost collagen, protecting against osteoporosis and skin aging

Each bar is 7grams of protein and rich in healthy fats + minerals to support hormone balance. 

 

Enjoy!
