I don’t know about you but ever since I was a child I’ve loved Eatmore Bars. It’s probably been over 3 years since I’ve had one. Let me tell you – I still think about them. For the last few days I’ve literally created about 15 different recipes in the kitchen half of which have failed…lol…seriously not my week. BUT it’s all worth it because of these. I came up with a killer Eatmore-like Protein Bar. These are now going to be a staple in my home. These are fast to make, easy to take with you, loaded with protein, fiber, healthy fats, and provide pure energy! Try these as your mid-morning snack or pre/post-workout fuel. Honestly, I’m begging you to try these this week and come back and tell me how much you love them (then tell me how much you love me for creating them! lol). Enjoy this awesome new snack (that tastes like a treat) from DAMY Health.
Healthy Eatmore Protein Bars
Ingredients:
- 2 cups dry roasted peanuts
- 3 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 cup dates
- ¼ cup ground flax
- 3 scoops protein powder
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut
Directions:
- Add peanuts, flax, protein powder, cocoa powder and unsweetened coconut to food processor.
- Pulse until peanuts are in small pieces (think Sundae Topping consistency).
- Add dates, peanut butter and start blending. Add water slowly and as needed (if you need more go for it – just use ¼ cup amounts at a time).
- Blend until dough like but with still visible pieces of peanut.
- Remove dough and form into 2.5 inch by 1 inch bars (think LARABAR size).
- Tip – What I like to do is take the entire ball of dough between two pieces of saran wrap. One covering the counter and one covering the top of the dough and flatten the dough out by hand like you would a pie crust.
- Use a butter knife to cut into bar shapes.
- Wrap each bar individually in saran wrap.
- Store in the refrigerator.
Serving is 1 bar per snack.
*Makes 16-18

Now this I will be trying sooner then later!
They are so good!!!
These sound really good! I’ve never heard of them before.
Hey Ellie! You will love them!! They are a must try!
Ok, so these are good then on our program as meal 2?
I made these last night. So good! It’s hard to eat just one. : ) Mine were sticky (I think I used too much water), but seeing that they will become a staple in my home I will have plenty of time to perfect the recipe. Thanks!!
How many calories, protein, and carbs are in this? 🙂 tnx
Hey Cookie! We are count-free here. For more info check out this link http://www.damyhealth.com/faq/#countcalories
I made up a batch of these today and they are awesome!! My husband is also in love with these 🙂 I will be making these again! Thanks
Wonderful!!! Thank you for sharing 😉
Could i sub almonds, walnuts, etc for the peanuts?
second time ive made this recipe. this time i used almonds and almond butter, added more water and then added the liquid ingredients to the dry in a large bowl along with pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, blueberries and cherries. also added some quick oats and upped the protein to 4 scoops. turned out incredible, colorful and pleased everyone in my home( 2 teenagers). about to make more in a few days. this time i will try adding some puffed kamut along with all my ingredients. i find one small bar and 1 bottle of water in the carride home after a workout is a perfect amount of food for me. we( family) have issues with store bars being too sweet. this recipe is perfect. btw- this batch has lasted for 9 days in my fridge without going off.
Thats great. Thanks for sharing.
Just curious how much “1 scoop” would be to measure out? I have bulk protein powder with no scoop! Thanks!
They have scoops, just in the very bottem of the container 🙂

These are truly amazing! I made a batch a few years ago when I first found your reipe and then again just a few weeks ago. Instead of a cup of dates, I use a half-cup of honey or maple syrup. They satisfy my sweet tooth, they’re filling, and they offer lots of protein and healthy ingredients — and yet they taste even better than the Eatmore of my youth. Thanks for this recipe!
