Vegan Protein Bars
- 80g pitted dates
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 3/4 cup oats
- 60g unflavored protein powder
- 1/2 cup silk ultra (or any milk)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp chia seeds (or hemp or flax)
- 2 tbsp low-calorie sweetener*
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup pea protein puffs
- 50g semi-sweet chocolate or chocolate chips
*I use a mix of monk fruit and erythritol
Soak the dates for a few minutes in warm water. Drain and add to a food processor along with everything except the puffs and chocolate. Process into a sticky dough. Move to a bowl and mix in the protein puffs by hand. Grease an 8x8 dish or line it with parchment paper, and press the mixture as evenly as possible. Melt the chocolate (20 sec intervals in the microwave) and pour over the top. Spread out into a thin layer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.

I consider myself vegetarian on my way to being vegan. Although there are days where I have an intense craving for bacon or shellfish (some of the only meats I like). So there have been instances where I've cheated. My family is unsupportive and cook or eat meals containing that stuff and will even serve it to me. Ultimately I end up nibbling. I feel immense guilt afterwards and feel like I have no right to call myself plant based. I want to vegan for ethical and environmental reasons and yet I feel like I'm a hypocrite. Idk why I'm commenting this. Feels like a confession and I'm trying to beg the universe for forgiveness lol
The universe has forgiven you lol. Seriously though, don't sweat the small stuff. It sounds like you're making good choices most of the time. Family is tough and I'm sure there are many in your position. Maybe talk to them if you haven't already, but some people take food very seriously and the blowback for saying "no thank you" may not be worth it. Good luck! :)
@@UnnaturalVegan I usually grind the chia seeds into a flower before using them so they dont get stuck. BONUS it increases the omega 3 absorption.
Family can be a tough nut to crack. I went vegan 7 years ago and my dad still thinks it's just a phase. What I did in the beginning was to compliment my family for the vegan food they made rather than criticising them for the meat dishes they cooked. For example I kept telling my grandma how much I love her vegetable soup and that no one else makes it that good (which by the way is true)... so then every time I went to see her she'd make the soup for me, because she knew I loved it and so I rarely had to tell her "I'm sorry I don't eat that" because she was making vegan food for me without even realising.
Feeling guilty is not going to help. Take your time to make the full change!
Just relax, it doens't matter if you eat animal products once in a while, you can still call yourself a vegan if you wish to. I am vegetarian my whole life, and vegan since 2017, and I still make exceptions to eat dairy/butter/eggs for social reasons, but I will never buy it or order it at a restaurant (consumer power). And I do still ocasionnally buy leather shoes, that I wear for a very, very long time. And about the craving: eat it when you crave it, or you might head towards an eating disorder. It's your personal choice, you don't need to explain your choices to anyone. I don't call myself vegan because it means you have to explain your decisions to other people. But me and my husband try to live as 'vegan' as possible and make good choices. All my cosmetics are now vegan. I never buy down or leather clothes.
Hey! Love these what I eat in a day videos! I have a video suggestion: best vegan options at restaurant or fast food places for you or how to easily veganize your meals while eating out?
This is basically how I eat, been vegan for 6 years. No issues sticking to it, or any adverse health issues. There is only 1 downside, all my stuff I bring to the family dinner gets eaten first, usually before I can get any 🥺🥲
You need to make a separate bowl to stash away just for you!
@@rena6895 I know, I’m just not that quick sometimes 😔
Ok flex. I'm so trash at cooking lol
Ain't that the truth!? Every time we do a potluck at work, the carnivores/omnivores gobble up all the colorful fresh delicious food the vegans bring!!
I would never share food with the omnis, they dont give a fuck at all
I love how normal you are honestly! Like sometimes I'll go down the Whole Foods Plant Based rabbit hole on UA-cam and it's honestly so toxic with all the unnecessary added restrictions like bro... ima eat some mock meats and saturated fat... I'm sorry
what is vegan saturated fat? oh I guess nuts are technically saturated? but it's a different type of fat all the same
@@therabbithat Things like coconut oil, coconut milk also contain saturated fat, I don't eat it regularly but occasionally I'm going to have some coconut curry ect.... but some people in this community the use of ANY and all saturated fat
@@cae_okinaga1019 There’s nothing toxic about people eating Whole Foods plant based for their health… if you want to do it, do it , if you don’t, don’t.
@@musicality8039 Yea I'm not saying it's toxic and I eat mainly whole food plant based but the way they vilify anything that isn't "whole foods plant based" IS TOXIC

It is very unfortunate, what happened to Swayze.
She was such a nice and smart girl, when she was 100% raw vegan.
But now she wastes her life and abuses her children, by feeding them cooked food.
I have a very important tip for you. Coat the crispies in the melted chocolate. The fatty layer will protect them from soaking up any liquid!
Oouuu thank you for the recipe!! Can't wait to try.
I love how you normalize a vegan diet. It's essentially a standard diet with vegan swap outs.
I love these videos so much, thank you for posting them. Would you be interested in doing a video of vegan meals that dont require access to a stove? Im struggling with taking in enough food right now (im not creative when it comes to food) but i have a rice cooker and i really appreciate how easy your meals are
for the chia seeds, i agree. that’s why i usually blend them with my oats or plain chia seeds so it’s more of a fine “powdery” texture:)
I found that creamer at grocery outlet for 99 cents! Bought 6 and froze 4~love it!
Absolutely love how you eat I've followed in my own daily diet
Kind's ice cream bars are my favorite! Remind me of the snickers ice cream bars.
Love your channel!

Frozen avocados are great if you freeze them at juuuust the right time when they’re ripe. So, if you ever see a bunch on clearance or have some ripe but don’t want to eat them yet, peel, pit & half them, then freeze and they should defrost pretty well. The pre packaged bags are gonna be really hit or miss
If you have a coffee or herb grinder, the chia seeds can be blended into a fine powder. I use this for my porridges as I hate getting them stuck in my teeth.
Yeah the frozen avocados I didn't read that are great I used some more when I'm cooking avocados like thin homemade taquitos or tamales
Yes please video on comments on the shorts!
Do you share your Portland favorite spots in any video?? Thanks!
I love chia seed pudding... great protein too.
We really need a Grocery Outlet in the DC area.
I was gonna say "...on the East Coast," but there is one on the East Coast...in Pennsylvania.
This was such a mom day. bit here, bit there, just what you've got.

Not funny at all.
Hey you could use those frozen avocados to make nice cream or throw them in a smoothie. All sins are hidden in smoothies and nice cream, lol.
Or that avocado chocolate mousse - there it's even a positive thing if the avocado taste is not very strong :)
Great idea! I usually hate avocado in sweet stuff because of the taste, but the frozen is pretty flavorless!
@@UnnaturalVegan we are happy to troubleshoot your avocado problems.

The REALEST Vegan 🌱🎯💯🙌💕
Swayze you've ruined me for other protein bars. I ordered the NuGo dark variety pack and they're sooo good. And so expensive, but I can't ever go back lol. I definitely want to try the Slims next, easy high protein snacks are a must for my job.
P.s. love your videos, I've been watching for a few years and I plan to start transitioning from vegetarian to vegan soon
I always think about you when I buy the Siggis new plant-based high protein, lower sugar yogurts and these Silk ones! I like both of them but my husband thinks they taste and feel like an all-natural sunblock! I can't untaste it now- ruined it for me and misery loves company, so here we are.
Don't cry. Keep up the good work. There are lots of people who need you. 3:25 so cute.
i’ve seen ads for the ‘brave robot’ ice creams and was really intrigued. do you have a review for that on your youtube?
Here ya go! ua-cam.com/video/EEtGNX1KmJI/v-deo.html
Brave Robot is SO GOOD...wait for it to go on sale though :)

Could you share some vegan baking recipes ?
Just tried the silk strawberry flavor Greek yogurt and was not a fan but I’m not always a huge fan of strawberry flavored stuff. I really want to try the lemon but can’t find it in my area.
you make veganism look actually manageable and realistic
Yay!! So excited to try the protein bars, because man, $36CAD for a box of 12 nugo pretzel bars is insane. Also, that bread looked really good!! I miss the early time of the pandemic when I had more time to bake, as morbid as that is. Lol
It's really good but man, the fruit flies! If there's one thing they love more than fruit, it's yeast lol

I love Chia! They're full of Vitamin K. I always grind them though, cause yeah, weird gooey gel bits is not a pleasant afterthought.
Your bread looks delicious!!!
you have such beautiful skin!
I tried that creamer
Finished having babies? My sister in law had back pain with very large bust. After tubes were tied she had a breast reduction. She runs marathons now. Just curious because you have mentioned back pain in the past. It was life changing for her.
You could make avocado brownies with your frozen avocado! 😁
Would the protein bar recipe work if I substituted prunes instead of dates?
Maybe I'm late to the game, but is this the most candid view we've seen of the kitchen? With the privacy trend on this channel it almost seems voyeuristic! 😂
Thank you for sharing your meals, they looked delicious, Swayze!

Omgosh when you said "why did I buy these?!" I related way too much. F that bag in my fridge 🤣 Dude. I didn't know you lived near me till after like 30 videos in.
In Portland a lot for myself and my disabled daughter. Basically live up on the hospital hill unfortunately. Hope to meet you someday. Just a cool chick from what I see. Veggie Grill all the way every time I'm in Portland. Powells after. Win.
You forgot to add the step of mixing in the pea puffs after the mixture is combined in the recipe! Just a heads up before this video goes live hopefully
Thank you!

We don't have a grocery outlet where I am. We also don't have the Silk Greek-style yogurts. And now, after watching this video, I am so very sad.
I'm not even Vegan,
I'm Keto, but I love your videos
Do you grind up the chia seeds?
I bought frozen avocado too and it is not all ripe. Eat a piece. It is picked green. Not tasty. May be okay for Guacamole?? I can freeze ripe and ones myself.
Frozen avocado tastes like ice cream to me.. because it has so much fat i guess. It's delicious, i wonder if you could use it to make nice cream... Swayze is a supertaster though so it probably won't work
Can you please just make a cookbook of all the kinds of things you eat and make 🤣 I know it's pretty basic stuff but it would really help us meat eaters become more plant based lol cause honestly I am so clueless and dumb.
Just a PSA on the Fitbit, which I have used for years, they are notorious for over estimating kcals burned by like upwards of 50%😮. You can mitigate this by manually adjusting (ie. actually measure) your stride length. Also turn off the exercise tracking (walks, runs etc.) and just use the steps. Gets closer this way, but probably still very optimistic calorie wise in my experience 😉
You bought chia seeds because chia seed puddings are not so annoying to eat and kinda good?
i need to find that greek yogurt!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't warm up to chia seeds lol.
Can you review Happy Now Olivia! Dangers of a Vegan diet? It’s quite long but I think you may find it interesting as it’s very serious but follows some usual anti-science holistic principles
Your short hair is really nice!
Does your multi have B12?
Yes is does!
Was "so food" in the thumbnail intentional? Because it's funny
Why is it called creamer?
has anyone plugged the ingredients into cronometer to see how many grams of protein each bar has?
I think your supposed to blend chia seeds before you use them
The latest Vegetable Police video might be worth responding to. He tries to make the case that if any vegan who supplements for B12 is not actually vegan :)
Oh lord...
@@UnnaturalVegan Oh lord, indeed!
That's being too extreme

Idli vada dosa puri...100's of varieties in veg..
Does anyone know what state she lives in? I am from Oakland California and I feel like shes from Berkeley California lol …. Anyways I enjoy your videos and I am not vegan 🌱 😳
Portland, Oregon! But I'm from Memphis. :)

Beautiful 😍.
No rice with your beans ;(.
"So food" on the thumbnail?
You say that it is OK to sometimes kill and cause pain on animals for one's comfort. You do not then care about animals that much. You care more about your image on the Internet.
lol you got a lot of sugar!
Perfect diet, perfect..,. Breast😍
Chia is kinda gross. Ground flax is better for so many reasons.
Too much junk food. That's why you are hungry.
90% of things you eat aren't buyable in east-central europe (and probably in western europe neither) but anyway we consider this kind of food shitty industrial 'food', how can you think this is equally healthy as a varied omni diet?
y7ou're hungry cuz you're not eating good... This is not enough.
