Notes
If the mixture is too dry, add a little milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
If you are not using a chocolate protein powder in these homemade protein bars, then you can add a little cacao powder to give it a chocolate flavour.
If you are making these to eat on the go, I would recommend leaving them as they are and not adding the optional chocolate as it melts easily and makes them messier.
