Ingredients
- 5 scoop Whey protein powder (Vanilla)
- 5 scoop Casein protein powder (Vanilla)
- 4 tbsp Coconut flour
- 3 tbsp Milled flaxseed

- Then add the milk, it's easiest to use your hands to knead the mix. Be warned that it gets messy.
- Add an extra couple scoops of milk if needed, but use as little liquid as possible while still being able to create a paste.
- If using chia seeds, then you will need more milk than with poppy seeds. If using milled chia seeds, then you will need more milk than whole chia seeds.

- Leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- Remove from the fridge and tin, using a sharp knife, slice into the desired number of bars e.g. 12.
