RECIPE OF THE WEEK: ALMOND FUDGE PROTEIN BAR

My wife is a phenomenal cook.

Genuinely, it feels like I'm doing the household a disservice whenever I take to the stove.

The self-admitted issue she has when it comes to baking however, is that she very rarely weighs or measures anything out in the kitchen. She's more of those "got the ingredients, cook to taste" kind of gals, that can make magic out of the most mundane of shopping lists

which is why usually? Her cake-making isn't quite as jaw-dropping as her savoury standards

(please bear in mind we've had this conversation, and she's still far superior to me at both, I'm not just taking to the internet to insult my wife's culinary prowess, there's a point I'm making here)

The point I'm making, is that these bars? require zero baking.

Yup, no oven time at all, actually. Plus it takes all of 10 minutes prep time (then another frustrating 30 minutes waiting for it to set in the fridge, but we'll forget that bit...)

and they taste fan-flipping-tastic

as our clients over at our personal training studio in Milton Keynes will tell you (at least those that have chosen this treat out of the 200+ recipes they have available to them for added support).

Enjoy (& try not to eat them all at once. I mean you can, but you'll probably feel uncomfortably stuffed...)
