Instructions

Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or wax paper. You may want to spray the pan with cooking spray first to help the paper stick.
Combine chickpeas, dates, almond butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a large food processor. Process until very smooth, scraping down the sides if necessary.
Add in protein powder, hemp seeds, and chia seeds. Process again until very well combined. The mixture should start to form a "dough" ball.
Using wet hands, press mixture evenly into lined loaf pan.
Freeze for about an hour before removing paper from pan and slicing into 8-10 bars. Place cut bars in a baggie or tupperware and store in the refrigerator or freezer. These will become soft at room temperature.
