No-Bake S’mores Bars
If you’re craving chocolatey marshmallow and graham crackers, then make a batch of these No-Bake S’mores Bars with not one, but two Shakeology flavors.
We think they’re even better than the real thing because they contain all of the essential flavors of the classic fireside dessert — made healthier.
Bonus: No campfire needed!
Instead of marshmallows, these sweet treats get their toasty marshmallow essence from a few drops of marshmallow extract (pure vanilla extract is a good substitute).
There’s no extra sugar in these s’mores bars: Creamy Vanilla Shakeology mixed with ricotta makes up the white “marshmallow” cream, and Chocolate Shakeology forms the brownie-like base and crunchy chocolate topping.
Pro tips:
- You can find marshmallow extract online or in specialty cake decorating stores.
- You can substitute pure vanilla extract for marshmallow extract.
