'It tastes like Snickers' is what I hear most when people take a bite, and so in homage, I've named this my Marathon bar and only those old enough will get the reference.

Crunchy natural peanut butter, honey, raw cacao, chia seeds, oats and a scoop of vanilla protein powder make these squares irresistible, and perfect if you need a guilt-free sweet treat. And, unlike their chocolate namesake, they're packed with protein, fibre and antioxidants.

For fun, I did a little comparison (same weight - 48g) with a Snickers and here goes…

Less than half the sugar, over double the protein, one third of the saturated fat and a whopping 4g of fibre compared to zero. And sodium? Only 13mg compared with 210g!

(I used Form Vanilla Protein Powder so these are suitable for vegan diets.)

Ingredients: (6 bars)

125g crunchy peanut butter (I use Whole Earth)

60g honey

60g oats

15g vanilla protein powder

15g raw cacao

15g chia seeds

Method:

1. Warm the peanut butter and honey together gently in a pan

2. Weigh out the dry ingredients into a bowl

3. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the dry ingredients and mix well

4. Tip into a rectangular container (approx 21cm x 14cm) and press down well until evenly spread

5. Refrigerate for 1 hour and slice into 6 portions
