Measure out 120 g (about 1.5 cups) of rolled oats and place them in a bowl.

Add 4 scoops of chocolate brownie protein powder to the oats.

Add 0.5 tablespoon of cinnamon to the mixture.

Add a handful of mixed berries (about 30-40 g) to the bowl.

Add a handful of cashew nuts to the mixture, breaking them up a bit as you add them.

Mix all the dry ingredients together until well combined.

In a separate bowl, add 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter.

Add 2 tablespoons of honey to the peanut butter.

Pour in 0.25 cup of almond milk and mix together until combined.

Microwave the mixture for about 30 seconds to help blend the ingredients, stirring again if necessary.

Once mixed, combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients in the bowl.

Stir the mixture together with a spoon, then use your hands to mix it until it forms a dough-like consistency.

If the mixture is too dry, add a tiny bit more almond milk as needed.

Once mixed, prepare a Tupperware container by lining it with parchment paper and spraying it with coconut oil.

Transfer the protein bar dough into the lined Tupperware and mold it to fit the shape of the container, pressing it down evenly.
