Also, it gives me the opportunity to vary the sweetness as per my taste and add any flavor of my choice. No Bake Orange Protein Bars are a great post work out replenishment or a great on the go breakfast.

I have been craving orange flavors lately. However, I love the fresh mandarin oranges with natural flavors. I have already tried a ganache recipe with oranges infused in cookies. This time I wanted a pure orange flavored protein bars. Also, I did not want to overwhelm my protein bars with orange flavor. Therefore, these protein bars have subtle orange flavor and are mildly sweet. These are absolutely my favorite bars that match amazingly with my desires.

This time I made Yashvi my recipe taster because I wanted an opinion from a kid’s point of view. If nuts are not a problem then these protein bars are super nutritious for kids. Generally, children are not very good eaters and tend to derail from a balanced healthy diet. So, with kids in my mind I was super excited to come up with this No Bake orange Almond Protein Bars. I know majority of the children love oranges and this is a great way to introduce so many heathy ingredients into their diet.

So, I tried with and without the frosting bars with Yashvi. She liked the bars that had lots of frosting. Therefore, I would highly recommend whipping up the orange frosting and drizzling generously for the zesty orange flavors.

Ingredients

For the bars

  • 2 whole mandarin oranges (peeled)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp orange extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh ground almond butter
  • 1 cup slivered almond
  • 1 cup hemp seeds
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the frosting

  • 1 whole mandarin orange (peeled)
  • 2 tsp fresh ground almond butter
  • 1/2 tsp orange extract
  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp orange zest

Instructions

  • In a blender combine the peeled oranges and blend until smooth. Then strain it in a large mixing bowl.
  • Then combine maple syrup, vanilla extract, orange extract, almond butter into the orange juice and whisk it very well. Keep it aside.
  • In a food processor combine slivered almond and hemp seeds and grind until it’s in a powder form.
  • Now fold in the hemp mixture, almond flour and salt into the wet ingredients and mix it well with a spatula. Feel free to use your hands to make it well-blended dough.
  • Now, prepare a square or a rectangle small bowl with a greased parchment paper. Spoon the batter onto the prepared bowl. Then, grease your palms nicely to avoid the sticking of the dough. Spread the dough evenly in the bowl and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes. 
  • In the meanwhile blend one orange again in a blender and strain it in a small glass bowl. Then add rest of the frosting ingredients in the orange juice and whisk it very nicely. Place the bowl in the freezer for 20 minutes. 
  • Take out the bars and slice them into 10 pieces. Drizzle the orange frosting on the bars and enjoy. 

Notes

  • Refrigerate these bars in an air tight container for a week.
  • These are soft and chewy bars. However, they eventually bind well in the refrigerator.
  • If you like fresh orange flavor then feel free to squeeze few drops of fresh orange after applying the frosting and  before storing them away.

    It’s so smart to make your own protein bars. They are expensive when you buy store bought! Plus I love that you can control the ingredients. Many of them are glorified candy bars!
