Plant Protein Recovery Bars

Ingredients

Bars

1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
1/2 cup natural almond butter
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1.5 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup pea protein powder (vanilla)
1/4 cup hemp hearts
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Notes

Eat one bar within 60 minutes of a hard run for plant-based recovery. Pea protein combined with rice protein covers all essential amino acids, matching the muscle protein synthesis benefits of whey. Hemp hearts and pumpkin seeds add zinc and magnesium, which deplete during heavy training. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
