Scale

Bars:

1 ½ cups almond flour
½ cup True Nutrition Red Velvet Cake Whey-Casein Blend Protein Powder (code HEALTHYHELPER saves!!)
¼ cup NuNaturals unsweetened cocoa powder (code HEALTHYHELPER saves!!)
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
2 large eggs
⅓ cup beet juice
⅓ cup date syrup (code HEALTHYHELPER saves!!)
¼ cup melted coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: ¼ cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts

High-Protein Cream Cheese Frosting

4 oz light cream cheese, softened
½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey protein
1–2 tbsp milk of choice
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Sweetener of choice (powdered sugar or allulose/monk fruit)

Instructions

Prep the pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 pan with parchment.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, red velvet whey protein, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
Mix the wet ingredients: Whisk eggs, beet juice, date syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine it all: Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until your batter is smooth and slightly thick.
Add your mix-ins: Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if you’re feeling fancy.
Bake: Spread batter evenly in the pan and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely: Trust the process. Frosting + warm bars = slippery disaster.
Make the frosting: Beat light cream cheese, Greek yogurt, whey protein, milk, vanilla, and salt until creamy. Sweeten to taste and chill to thicken.
Frost + slice: Spread generously over cooled bars and slice into squares. Try not to eat half the pan immediately (or do… no judgment).
