WARNING!!! Do not make these on a cut; I swear to god you will eat the entire pan when you do make them, so make sure it's on a bulk or a cheat!!

Protein Bars (Jake’s)

1/3 c Chocolate protein powder
1/2 c quick oats
1/4 c dry skim milk powder
2 tbsp cocoa
12 packets sweetener*
1 tbsp low fat cream cheese
1/2 c natural peanut butter(Pb)
1/3 c black brewed coffee
about 1/4 cup skim milk

Mix dry ingredients together. Cream Pb and cream cheese together. Warm in microwave for 45 seconds -Mix in coffee. Stir dry ingredients a bit at a time into wet ingredients. Mixture will be difficult to stir, use a fork and mash it together. It'll get crumbly. Now add milk, a few drops at a time and mix well after each addition. I think I used about 1/4 cup, but not sure. You want a gooey, kind of crumbly texture. Press into pan sprayed with Pam and set in fridge. Makes 8 bars.

***Each bar has: 80.5 calories - 3.9 *Protein - 7 carbs - 4.2 fat

***The above breakdown does not include the protein powder, because everyone uses a different powder, I just broke down the other ingredients. Make sure you add your own protein powder breakdown to the counts to get the true numbers!

*I used Equal, you can use whatever you normally use or none at all if you like, especially if your protein powder is sweet. Replace the coffee w/ a tbsp of cream diluted w/ water to the required amt. I used flavored coffee, so you might want to add an extract for flavor...almond or vanilla...

You can also and raisins and/or chopped nuts for variation

Hey thanks for that I will definately give it a go. Its just what I was looking for. I will skip the sweetners first time to see what its like. I think Ill also add some peanuts in the mix too and possibly the raisens you mentioned.

thanks again!!

P.S. If theres anymore recipes along these lines I would appreciate them also just to make a few diff ones. thanks

interesting/// is there anyway you could just make a pro/carb bar or pro/fat bar??

I found this recipe seem really easy to make.....

It is so simple-
takes about 10 minutes max to make 1

I use 1 bar of wheetabix- I prefer this to oatmeal
1 scoop of whey protein
1 tbl honey
1 tbl peanut butter

mix all together in a bowl, it will be a little dry/ powdery but just add very small amounts of skim milk or water so that the consistency is firm, similar to a flapjack or such like

You can then shape the bar with a cooks knife really easy by pressing down on it firmly and cutting it to the desired shape

The weight of the bar is usually about 100g and I assure you, they are filling and take a few minutes to eat through!

HI

thanks for that second recipe Ill give it a go. I need to speak to the guy about the first recipe though because I tried it as above, nut it definately didnt turn out right so I want to go through everything and make sure Im right with what I did. Im not much of a cook so find even that hard !! lol

thanks
