Description
It ain't stupid if it works. 3 ingredient, no bake, vegan, sugar free, and gluten free peanut butter chocolate protein bar? This "sludge brick" is just a swirling of cocoa powder and powdered peanut butter with sugar free syrup for a dead simple bar with 18 g of protein in 180 calories. Plus, you can't beat $1 for a protein bar.

    Notes
    1. This whole bar has about as much caffeine as half a cup of coffee, so don't have it too late in the day. Alternatively, if you used carob instead of cocoa, it will be sweeter and caffeine free.
