Enjoy your dessert and sneak in extra protein!

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter (just peanuts + salt)
• 1/4 cup honey (or coconut palm syrup, if vegan)
• 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/3 cup ground flaxseed meal
• 1/2 cup of your favorite vanilla or plain protein powder*
• 2.5 ounces your favorite 85% dark chocolate bar
• Coarse sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

1.            In a medium bowl mix together peanut butter, honey, coconut oil, vanilla together until smooth. Add in ground flaxseed meal and protein powder of choice. Use a spoon to mix together until you can’t anymore, then use clean hands to help work together. The batter should be similar to cookie dough.
2.            Press into an 8x4 inch pan lined with parchment paper.
3. Make the chocolate layer by adding 2.5 ounces of dark chocolate to a small saucepan and melting until completely smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and tilt the pan so that the chocolate covers the peanut butter layer entirely.
4. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes-1 hour before slicing into squares. Store covered in the fridge until ready to eat. Bars will keep for up to two weeks.

Wash the cucumber and coarsely chop. Add it to a food processor or blender with all the other ingredients and pulse. You can decide how chunky you like it. I like it smooth and creamy so I blend it for a little while.
