I'm looking for a tasty protein bar. Any suggestions?
sikdogg said:Make your own... i can post recipe's if you're interested.
Here’s a good the recipe:
16 ounces Natural peanut butter
8 tablespoons honey
six scoops of Optimum Chocolate whey protein powder
1 cup of uncooked oatmeal
Mix the pb and honey in a bowl, microwave on full for 80 secs. Add the rest and mix together. Can add raisins/nuts etc to taste. Smooth into 13x9 tray and leave for 20 mins. Cut into 10 to 12 equal bars and wrap and store in fridge.
This is a great tasting recipe that I modified from one I found on 'bolex
Now here is the breakdown on a batch of the goodies:
Protein: 254 grams
Carbohydrates: 282 grams
Fats: 236 grams
1 Cup Natural Peanut Butter
1 1/2 Cups Protein Powder (I use Customizer's chocolate MPI)
8 Tbsp Honey
1 Cup Oatmeal (not the instant kind)
1 1/2 Cups Skim Milk
1 Tsp Cinnamon
I just mix all these in a large mixing bowl (you might want to throw the peanut butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften it up), spread it into a pan and bake it for 30 min. @ 325 deg. Using this recipe each bar works out to be:
Cal. - 370
Protein - 24
Carbs - 33
Fat - 17

They use soy protein in a crunch type of manner (kind of like a Nestle Crunch bar) and a layer of chocolate on the bottom. The two flavors I like are chocolate and peanut butter crunch. The bars are ment to be meal replacements. Just about 25% or better for all major vitamins.
