I’m happy to share with you a recipe for Vegan Protein Bars that are (almost) zero waste!
The whole mixture is about 724 calories, and it equals 6 bars. A bar is just 120 calories, with 12g protein.
For this recipe, I used Vivolife protein powder, which comes in compostable pouches.
In the end, I’ll share a bit more about Vivolife, just because I love their products.

So, without further ado, let’s jump right to the recipe!
Zero Waste Protein Bars (Vegan & 5 Ingredients)
Ingredients
- 50g peanut flour*
- 150ml soy milk**
- 70g Vivolife protein powder
- 25g almond butter ***
- 25g sticky sweetener ****
Instructions
- First, mix the peanut flour and the milk.
- Then, add the protein powder, the almond butter, and the sticky sweetener. Combine everything. It is easier if you use your hands!
- Once everything is combined, transfer the mix into a container. Spread it well and then freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Finally, take it out from the freezer, cut it into 6 equal bars, and enjoy.
Notes
- * I tried the recipe with sesame flour, and it worked! I haven't tried it with almond/oat flour, but it may work.
- ** You can use any other plant milk.
- *** This recipe will work fine with any nut butter. The first time I did the recipe, I used tahini.
- **** For the sticky sweetener, you can use agave, maple syrup, date syrup, etc. I tried it with agave and carob syrup, and it was great.
- Store in the freezer. Before eating, let it outside from the freezer for 10 minutes or so. 🙂
