ABC Protein Bars

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.

Oatmeal Protein Bars:

Ingredients:

*

3 cups oatmeal
*

140 grams protein powder
*

3/4 cup peanut butter
*

1 cup milk
*

2 egg whites
*

1 cup apple sauce
*

2 tsp baking powder
*

1/2 teaspoon salt

You can also add fructose or sugar, I find them fine without as my protein powder is sweetened enough.



Preparation:

1.

Combine the above ingredients and put in a oiled (use pam) 9x9 pan.
2.

Bake @ 350 for 35 min.
3.

Makes 8 bars. When they are cool, put them in the fridge or they will go moldy in a few days.



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


Preparation:


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 Nutrition as I have found it to be the best and it has 22g protein and 1.5g carbs in each scoop, but no aspartame.
