Vegan Seeded Hemp Protein Bars
by The Chantal Team
These no-bake bars are packed with plant-based protein and omegas found in the hemp. Fresh dates give them a subtle and nourishing sweetness that is scrumptious and so satisfying. They are perfect for after a workout, for a mid-afternoon pick me up or even as breakfast on-the-go.
