| Certified THM Coach Glenda Groff shared this recipe with us! Glenda says: “Cookies and Cream Protein Bars — a tasty vanilla base with chocolate crumbles, a oreo cookie layer, and the flavor is just wonderful! I drizzled a little sugar-free chocolate chips over them to dress them up.” Glenda can be found on her blog at “Around the Family Table”(AroundtheFamilyTableBlog.com/). |

Recipe Notes
Glenda says: “If you prefer, you can make a double batch of the “Cookies & Cream Layer” and omit the “Black Cocoa Layer”. However, the Black Cocoa Layer gives the bars a great taste.”
