I went to the store on a mission to find options. Pink options. Natural pink options.
Pure pomegranate juice costs more than my apartment. Beets stain my hands. And who honestly wants to wait an hour to roast one? Now raspberries….
LETTUCE ALL BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF. They may have weird fuzzy tendrils and a bamboozling silent “p,” but man oh man do they taste dreamypants in any way, shape or form. I nearly fell over when I saw that they were on sale.
It’s almost that one holiday that everyone hates or loves, and these are the most perfect of all ways to tell that special someone you adore them. I love dark chocolate like a sister so regardless of my relationship status, I don’t mind V-Day. You better believe there’s a strong handful of chocolate chippers in these bars!!
I’ve made Angela’s Quick N’ Easy No-Bake Protein Bars a handful of times and they do not dissapoint. I wanted to experiment with an option that had a) a boatload of my beloved Vega Protein + Greens protein powder and b) less added sugar. Vega is sweetened with stevia, so in my humble opinion, these delightful little guys have just the right amount of sweetness with half the added sugar. Ding dong win wong.
I wanted these to be BRIGHT pink. With my refusal to use beets or red #5, I was left with pinkish beauties studded with the juicy red razzes. After mixing in a full half cup of raspberries to the batter, realizing they were too wet, and then adding more oat flour, I proceeded to gracefully smush bits and pieces of raspberries into the top of the bars.
I’m not saying they’d win a beauty contest, but they have the taste and texture of an angel. AND…and…they only require one bowl and get this—no food processor!! Flawless. No flaws.
Let’s talk ingredients for a sec! I used Bob’s Red Mill oat flour, but feel free to grind old-fashioned oats in the food processor or blender if you don’t have oat flour on hand. And now for the fun part!
GIVEAWAY (CLOSED): My friends at Vega are giving one lucky reader a tub of Vanilla Protein + Greens, a tub of Chocolate Protein + Greens, AND a shaker bottle! How amazing is that? To enter, simply leave a comment telling me you favorite way to use protein powder. This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only and will end Sunday, January 24th at 12am EST.

PinDescription
These easy, one-bowl, gluten-free raspberry protein bars taste like dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups oat flour (or old-fashioned oats ground into flour)
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup vanilla plant-based protein powder (I use Vega Vanilla Protein + Greens)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup creamy almond butter (the drippy kind)
- 1/4 cup almond milk (I used pomegranate juice, either will work)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup raspberries (plus more for topping)
- 3 tbsp mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8x8inch square baking dish with parchment paper or plastic wrap.
- Place oat flour, flax, protein powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
- Add almond butter, almond milk, and pure maple syrup. Using your hands, stir mixture until fully combined. Stir in chocolate chips. It will seem dry!
- Add fresh raspberries and use your hands again to break down raspberries into batter until fully combined (the “dough” should start to turn light pink).
- Press mixture evenly into pan until smooth. Press additional raspberries into dough if desired.
- Freeze bars for at least an hour before slicing into 12 bars. Store in the refrigerator for optimal texture.

My favourite way to use protein powder is in smoothie bowls!
I absolutely love using protein powder in unique ways! Protein pancakes and protein “fluff” are both fantastic! Protein fluff might be my favorite, though, in a blender you just have to combine frozen fruit, protein powder, and a liquid base then you mix it with an electric mixer. It’s basically amped up ice cream but its oh so gooood.
I LOVE Vega One and have been using it daily in my morning smoothie bowls!! I love starting the day with all those nutrients and greens but in a way that tastes like dessert!!
I’ve never used protein powder but I’ know I should be. I’ve been dying to try Vega!

My favorite way to use protein powder (lately) is in your no bake protein bites! Addicted I’ve made all the flavors haha
Chocolate protein powder + chocolate coconut water is my all time favorite combination. SOOO chocolatelyyyyy.

My favorite way to use protein powder? Hard to settle on just one! I love mixing it with egg whites, a banana and almond milk and making protein pancakes after a grueling workout! Or, I make a frappucino with coffee, protein powder, peanut butter and a banana in the blender!
I just discovered Vega Protein and Greens.! Of course it’s a great addition to any smoothie, but but favorite way to use it is in baked goods, bars and healthy snacks. I’m looking forward to trying the vanilla flavor in these raspberry bars, and want to experiment with the chocolate flavor in my Chocolate Chia Walnut Energy Balls, which is a riff on a recipe from the Healthy Librarian’s blog. Healthy and yummy, and loaded with chocolate!
My favorite way to use protein powder is to mix it with plain nonfat Greek yogurt. It adds protein, an awesome flavor and sweetness and it changes the texture of the yogurt. Vega plus greens also taste good just mixed with water so it’s a great was for me to replenish my body after a workout on the go.
★★★★★
I always put protein powder in my post-run smoothie! Every once in awhile I will bake with it, too 🙂
in smoothies!
My favorite way to use protein powder is snack-bite sized balls or mixed in my oatmeal in the morning. I’ve never tried vega protein but I would love to, as other (whey) protein powders tend to upset my stomach & I lean more toward the Veg-life anyways!
Oh yummm, these bars are definitely next on my list to make! I absolutely love baking with protein powder, my favorite quick cookie recipe has protein powder, coconut yogurt, coconut sugar, almond meal and cinnamon 🙂
you’re too hard on yourself — those bars could DEFINITELy win a beauty contest 😉 but seriously, they look great. and honestly as soon as i can get my hands on some berries i’ll be making them too. i spend a huuuuuge portion of our grocery budget on bars (peanut butter chocolate chip lara bars to be specific!) and i have been trying to find recipes to make some of my own. as far as how i like to use protein powder, i mostly just stick to smoothies since i drink a smoothie daily and honestly i’m not that creative in the kitchen. but i love the idea of putting them in things like this!
My favorite is putting it into decadent bites that taste devilishly unhealthy but are mindblowingly good for you and ACTUALLY keep you full…do what???
I usually make protein fluff with protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, and stevia! Sometimes I will mix in fruit and/or put almonds on it to make it a balanced breakfast! Good luck everyone!
I’ve had my eye on the Vega Protein + Greens for awhile and would love to give it a shot! I’m usually boring with my protein powders in smoothies but sometimes I like to mix it up and make some muffins or breads.

And a moment of silence for all the bites tragically smashed in my bag running from home/work/school, Lol!}
I love Vega powders! It’s almost Valentine’s Day?!?! ??? ahhhhhh!

I love putting protein powder in my smoothies after a workout!
I use protein powder in gluten-free baked goods, like muffins, cookies, and banana or zucchini breads, along with adding to smoothies and oatmeal.
I use it most often in my morning shakes as a way to up the protein. I need to start making my own protein bars to take with me to the gym or more soccer games. Playing soccer after work is a sure way to make me hangry.
The hard part is to say which is my fav way. I love making bars like this, and want to try yours – they look wonderful!!! I also like making a fudgy treat with protein powder, ground nuts, cocoa, almond flour, and add-ins like chopped dried cherries (luv) and homemade candied orange peel, and honey with a little water. You heat the honey and then add in the dry ingredients. Turn into a parchment lined container. I score them with a bench scraper, then put it in the refrigerator. When they are cool, you can turn them out with the parchment paper and then separate them into individual pieces with the bench scraper into small squares. They are great as a dessert or a snack. I LUV Vega it is my favorite protein powder!!!!
