Paleo Bar Recipe {RX bar copycat}—with 3 different flavors 

by

Does everyone else love RX Bars as much as I do?! They are one of the few bars that I eat as they have minimal and non-processed ingredients.

Ever since I found this egg white powder at Trader Joes, I’ve been wanting to try and make my own.

Whenever I am traveling, I always carry RX bars with me. They are the perfect well balanced bar, with lots of healthy protein from the egg whites, good fats from the cashews and almonds, and great source of fiber and carbs from the dates.

Since I am traveling this week, I decided to finally make my own!

It was pretty easy to whip these up as I had most of the ingredients on hand. I omitted the dates from the recipe to cut down on sugar. I did use some maple syrup for the chocolate flavored ones to tone down the the bitterness from the cacao.

2 tablespoons of cacao powder
2 teaspoons of maple syrup or honey
1/4 teaspoon of sea salt

Instructions:

Blend ingredients together in a food processor until a firm/dough-like consistency is achieved. If consistency is too sticky, add more almond meal or flour. If too dry, add in some maple syrup or water.

Place dough on parchment paper and form into 1 x 2 inch rectangles with your hands. Store in fridge until cooled and ready to eat.

  1. For the chocolate bar - could I use coconut flour instead of almond? If so, how much coconut flour would you suggest? Thank you!

    • I haven’t tried with coconut flour yet but it could work. I would use only a little coconut flour as it absorbs more liquid, you could probably start with a tablespoon and then go from there. If you do, let me know how it turns out!
