We first started making this protein slice a few years ago, as a way to make cod liver oil a more palatable supplement. One of our customers came up with the prototype recipe, and I\u2019ve tweaked it a few ways since. Here’s the original recipe complete with cod liver oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you leave the cod liver oil out, it becomes a yummy, high protein snack bar.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a firm jelly texture, so a bit more interesting than your usual protein bar.<\/p>\n

One of its beneficial ingredients is coconut oil \u2013 the healthy fat component. If you\u2019ve tried my healthy chocolate recipe, or experimented yourself with coconut based snack bars, you\u2019ll know that a major disadvantage is that it melts if you try and carry it about. But in this combo, it\u2019s more stable.<\/p>\n

The protein comes from beef or pork gelatin. If you\u2019re strict vegetarian, you\u2019ll have to wait for some of my other snack bars. But if you\u2019re not, I prefer gelatin as a protein source to many of the processed protein powders.<\/p>\n

The added benefit of gelatin is that is helps to heal the gut.<\/p>\n
