Ever made your own protein bars?
I haven't-----yet! I am still on liquids but I have been collecting recipes for when I can. This one had 4 out of 5 stars when I was looking (havent tried it though and if you find any you like please share!)
Ingredients
1 cup Oats 4 egg whites 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
DirectionsPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F.Mix the egg whites and uncooked oatmeal. Add the remaining ingredients. Spray a nonstick cooking spray in an 8"x8" baking dish. Spread the mixture in an even layer, over the bottom of the dish. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the edge starts to pull away from the sides of the dish.

Nutty Fudge Protein Bar (from Ann B/Ann in TX) 2 1/3 cups chocolate protein powder (I use Champion Whey Stack) 1 oz square unsweetened chocolate 1/2 cup butter 4 oz cream cheese 1 oz chopped pecans 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 teaspoons peanut butter 1/4 cup Splenda Melt butter, cream cheese, peanut butter and chocolate in bowl in microwave and mix together very well. Add Splenda and vanilla, mix well again. Add pecans and protein powder and mix. Place in a baking pan, press down and refrigerate. When cooled and hardened, cut into 20 square bars. This does not get baked but the mixture will be warm from heating the first five ingredients in the microwave. Makes 20 bars Nutrition counts: (Based on using real butter and cream cheese, could be lower if diet butter, low fat cream cheese, or if applesauce is substituted for the butter.) I am sure these would be good using sugar free chocolate but I prefer not to have the extra calories or manitol. Grams Per big bar: Calories 123 Fat 8 Carb 1.5 Protein 7.5 |

Be careful about not doing any carb-loading on making your bars.
ONE of the BEST things I have found is to do flaxseed and then add fruit, dehydrate, and they are awesome.
IF you go to my YouTubes, I just did a "sprouted living foods" salad that would be great at your desk.
My You Tubes account is BusinessOfHope, and you will see my sprouted pro-vita-mix video. Feel free to subscribe because I plan to teach how to do my flaxseed bars in JULY. They are to dense for me right now since I am only 32 days out. [almost 30 lbs down]
Thanks so much!!
