Uncooked Hemp and Flax Protein Bars
"I improvised this, combining several recipes to accomidate the ingredients on hand, basically wanting something to do with a huge bag of hemp " powder I have. With the protein powder and the peanut butter figured into the nutritional info, the protein count is 4.8 grams and the calories are 143. Not a huge protein count, but hemp seed has other benefits: "Hempseed is considered by leading researchers and medical doctors to be one of the most nutritious food sources on the planet. Shelled hempseed is packed with 33 percent pure digestible protein and is rich in iron and vitamin E as well as omega-3 and GLA" (from the Nutiva website)"

While this is a good recipe, it is important to note that unprocessed peanut butter, ground flax seed and hemp seed must be refrigerated. If not, it will quickly become rancid.<br/><br/>I recommend using more rolled oats for a firmer texture and adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Then refrigerate. I used an 8x8 inch pan
