Looking for an easy, no-fuss snack that’s actually fun to make and tastes like dessert—but still fuels your day with clean, plant-based protein? Say hello to our Smash Melon No-Bake Protein Bars.
These bars are naturally sweet, slightly chewy, and packed with watermelon seed protein to help you power through workouts, workdays, or just snack attacks. All you need is one bowl and a fridge!

1/3 cup almond milk (adjust if mixture feels too dry)

1 tsp coconut oil

Pinch of salt (to balance the sweetness)

Pro Tips
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
-
Want a firmer bar? Pop them in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
-
Make it your own: swap chocolate chips for dried fruit, chia seeds, or crushed nuts.
