DIY Protein Bar Recipes
I started out buying a variety of protein bars ($$$) to up my intake , but most contain lots of refined carbs, fillers, and unhealthy preservatives. I found some recipes and have tried 2 of them so far. It's much cheaper, convenient and easy to make them at home. The only negative is that they don't have the candybar type of stability at room temp. I keep them in the fridge until ready to eat and often need a spoon or fork.
Oh, you might want to take some Beano as you eat these as the powder and Oats can give some folks gas. My favorite so far- Combine in Large Mixing Bowl 8 Scoops Protein powder (I used Isopure Chocolate) 3 Cups Oats 1 Package Sugar Free Fat Free Pudding (I used Devil's Food Cake) 2 Cups Skim Milk 1-2 cups of cereal like Rice Crispies, Corn Flakes, etc. Mix until a sticky batter is formed (may take a few minutes) use a large spoon to spread out the mix into the bottom of a Pam-sprayed glass or metal cooking tray (spread until even) put in the fridge overnight and cut into 8 equal bars that yield: 3g fat 32g carbs 29g protein 270 calories These bars taste amazing, and are perfect for: breakfast, pre OR postworkout Last edited by darnelled : 06-09-2008 at 12:02 PM.

Others I haven't tried yet, but sounded good....
1cup cottage cheese 1/2 cup ff yogurt 4 scoops whey put these in the blender stir in 3cups oats, form cut FREEZE Then ziplock and keep them in the freezer, add a pinch of oats to the bags, and when 2-4 hours later they are moist and great, 200cal 3g fat 23.75 c -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ingredients: * 6 Egg Whites * 1 Egg Yolk (for those extra amino acids) * 200g Porridge Oats (Complex Carbohydrate) * 3 servings of casein protein chocolate Powder (Any other flavour could be used.) * 150ml Pure Orange Juice (For Flavour and Vitamin C) * 2 Sliced Bananas (Flavour and Sweetness) * 2 Tablespoons Cookable Sweetener (Such as Hermesetas or Splenda) Preparation: 1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. 2. Put all the ingredients into your mixing bowl and stir until you have a nice even, mixture. (Should look pretty gooey.) 3. Find a baking tray approx. 8inch by 8inch and 1inch deep. 4. Rub your baking tray with vegetable oil or cooking spray to prevent to mixture sticking. 5. Pour your mixture into the baking tray and then place in the oven. 6. Bake for around 20 Minutes or until golden brown. 7. Leave to cool and then cut into 3 pieces with a sharp knife These bars are supposed to be great: calories:336 Proteins:37.6 Carbs:42g Fat:4.6!!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- INGREDIENTS 10 tbsp. natural peanut butter 5 egg whites 5 scoops whey protein (I find that chocolate mint tastes the best in this recipe, however chocolate tastes good as well) 2 cups oats (OPTIONAL: For flavor, I dry cook these on a frying pan until they are toasted) 1/2 cup soy milk DIRECTIONS Mix the peanut butter and egg whites in a bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, and mix well (so that the mixture appears smooth). Repeat 4-5 times until all traces of egg whites have dissolved into the peanut butter, and your mixture is a smooth consistent one. Gradually add the protein (one scoop at a time) and stir into the mixture. Next, add the soy milk and follow with the oats. Continue mixing until a thick 'sticky' mixture is present. Smooth the thick mixture into a 13x9 tray and leave for 20-30 minutes. Cut into 10 equal size bars. Individually wrap each bar (I use aluminum foil) and store in the fridge. Nutrition Facts Serving Size: 1 Bar Calories: 220 Protein: 20.1g Fat: 10.1g Carbohydrates: 15.1g -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FUDGEY-NUTTY BARS 2 and 1/3 cups vanilla protein powder 1 oz square unsweetened chocolate 1/2 cup butter 4 oz cream cheese 1 oz chopped almonds 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp peanut butter 1/4 cup Splenda Melt butter, cream cheese, peanut butter and chocolate in bowl in microwave. Mix together very well and then add splenda & vanilla, mixing well again. Add walnuts and protein powder and mix. It will be difficult and messy to mix, you will have to use your hands near the end to knead it all together, squeezing so that the powder is incorporated into the mixture. Now place in an 8x8 0r 9x9 baking pan, flatten and refrigerate. When cooled and hardened, cut into 8 bars. Per bar: 21 grams protein, 3.15 carbs. This will vary according to the protein powder you use, I use Optimum Nutrtion as I have found it to be the best and it has 22g protein and 1.5g carbs in each scoop, but no aspartame.

Sweet! I'll bet they are a lot cheaper than store bought too. I'll have to try this.

If you look at the eatcleandiet.com website Tosca Reno has some great recipes for protein bars and some muffins that are all completely clean and really good. She has a cookbook out that I got at Costco and it is full of good stuff. It's the Eat Clean Diet Cookbook.

others I haven't tried yet but sounded good..
2 cups Quaker oats (or equivalent) 2 tbsp natural peanut butter 8 scoops (240 g) generic brand whey protein powder (or equivalent) 1 package sugar-free, fat free-Jell-O (I use white chocolate) Dash of cinnamon Dash of vanilla extract Pinch of salt 1 cup COLD water After the bars set up in the fridge, I put them in the freezer for 2 hours and then cut them into 8 individual pieces. After a workout, I let them thaw for 30 minutes or so and they are consistently firm and not squishy or runny. Why? The Jell-O mix. Be sure to use cold water when mixing the Jell-O and whey, as it sets up nicer. Aside from baking, these bars are second-to-none to being able to stay firm when thawed out. They yield (approximately) per bar: 225 calories 6 g fat 23.5 g protein ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cereal Protein Bars 1/2-3/4c. honey 1/2 c. natty peanut butter 1/2 cup water 2 c. Rice Krispies, corn flakes, ect. 1-2c Oats (rolled) 1 tsp. vanilla *6 scoops chocolate protein (100% ON, to be exact) 1/2 cup of splenda Brought the water, honey, splenda to a boil. Added the PB, and lowered to a simmer. Threw the oats and cereal in a bowl. Take the liquide off of the stove when the PB is melted into the mixture, and add vanilla. Mix the liquid into the dry ingrediants, put in a baking tray and put under broiler for 1 minute.
