These rich and vibrant Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake Protein Bars are the perfect guilt-free snack or dessert. Packed with protein, naturally sweetened, and coated in a creamy white chocolate shell, they’re soft, chewy, and totally irresistible.
Ingredients
1 cup vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup coconut flour
3 Tbsp cocoa powder (use dark cocoa for deeper color)
1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener or any granulated sugar
4 oz low-fat cream cheese, softened (vegan cream cheese works too)
2 tsp no-taste red food coloring gel (16g)
1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for coating)
Instructions
In a bowl, mix protein powder, coconut flour, cocoa powder, and sweetener.
Add softened cream cheese and red food coloring. Use hands to blend evenly.
Gradually add almond milk, kneading until a soft but firm dough forms.
Adjust with more flour if too soft, or a teaspoon of milk if too dry.
Shape into a rectangular mound, wrap, and freeze for 30 minutes.
Slice into 7 bars and return to freezer while preparing chocolate.
Melt white chocolate chips in microwave, stirring every 20 seconds.
(Optional) Stir in 2 tsp coconut oil to thin chocolate for coating.
Dip chilled bars in melted chocolate, place on parchment paper, and let set.
Enjoy once chocolate hardens. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.
