Ingredients

3 Scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
1/2 Cup Almond Flour
1/2 Cup Oat Flour
3 Tbsp Butter - Melted
1/ Cup Maple Syrup (Sugar Free)
1 1/2 Tbsp Lemon Juice - Fresh Squeezed
1/2 Cup Cottage Cheese
1 Oz Cream Cheese
1/2 Tsp Lemon Juice - Fresh Squeezed
3 Tbsp White Chocolate Chips
1 Tsp Coconut Oil
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder

Directions

Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to easily lift out the bars.
Combine the protein powder, almond flour, oat flour, melted butter, maple syrup and lemon juice. Mix until a thick, soft cookie-dough consistency forms.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Refrigerate while you make the topping.
Blend the cottage cheese, cream cheese and lemon juice until completely smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the white chocolate chips with the coconut oil, stirring until smooth.
Stir the melted chocolate into the cottage-cheese mixture.
Add the protein powder and stir until you have a thick, creamy frosting. If it’s too loose, add a little additional protein powder or cream cheese.
Spread the frosting evenly over the chilled cookie layer.
Freeze for about 20 minutes, or until firm enough to slice cleanly.
Lift from the pan using the parchment and cut into bars. Keep refrigerated for a softer texture or frozen for a firmer, almost cheesecake-like bar.
