Do any of you guys have a recipe for a homemade protein bar? I know a lot of the time peanut butter is used as a mix, but I want to make something that's low in fat... any suggestions for mix?
Yeah dead simple,
1 part whey protein (vanila was best for me)
1 part organic oats
1/2 part apple pulp, (i got it from apple baby food)
1/2 part lowest fat margerine
add sweetners to taste
this is all of the top of my head (because I mixed several before finding what worked for me), by part you could use a cup, I have experimented with many different flavours, but the above works out the best, it comes out like a sweet biscuit low fat high protein good carbs.
edit: Must be me, I forgot to add that these things need to be baked, the new year is still taking it's toll!!! . I baked them until brown at 190 degrees c. While experimenting I also tried, adding honey, which makes them a little more crunchy, not good if you are avoiding sugars, I also tried apple sauce (organic) before I realised that apple pulp has far less sugar, at the end of the day the fructose in either apple sauce or apple pulp is very sweet. Once I baked these I cut them into small sized pieces and they kept well for over a week in a sealed container. My mum liked these once I gave them to her and she added something similar to her diet, but she added some sweetner that is suitable for baking and dried fruits (raisons and stuff) I also experimented using oils and fats too, and with pure casien protein instead of whey, but I would say the simpler the better stick with whey.
If you were looking for something sweet to add to your day, I made some protein mousse and placed the receipe on here, it is as simple as it comes, chocolate mrp shake sachet, vegegel sacket mixed with warm water, blend together add essential oils, sweet simple pudding. good luck if you discover some new idea let us know here. I get so bored with a plain diet.
