1 cup egg white protein powder sugar free vanilla flavored
4 tablespoons collagen peptides optional
1 1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup monk fruit powdered, or 1/2 teaspoon stevia glycerite, or more, to taste
1/4 cup butter melted, or butter flavored coconut oil for dairy free
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
1-3 teaspoons pistachio extract start with 1 and adjust to taste
natural green food coloring optional
1/2 cup pistachios chopped

Combine protein powder, collagen, almond flour, sweetener, and salt in a food processor.
In a small bowl, stir together the butter, water, extracts, and color, if using.
With the food processor running, stream the butter mixture in. Process until the batter comes together in a large ball. Add water a tablespoon at a time and process well to ensure it is incorporated before adding more if it seems too dry. Add a bit more almond flour if it seems too wet.
Press into an 8×8-inch pan lined with parchment or plastic wrap.
Refrigerate until cool and set, about an hour, slice into 12 bars and wrap individually with parchment paper. Store in the refrigerator until eating as they can spoil. These can be taken for travel and will not melt although they will get quite soft and tacky when warm.
