    Healthy Protein bars -choc banana flavor

    i like protein bars for convenience but hate all the sugars, fats, colouring and preservatives they put in them to make them nutritionally shite

    this is a healthy recipe for a protein bar mixture - it actually comes out more looking like a cake but u can cut them into pieces and take them with you to work nice and easily as they stick together well and dont crumble everywhere



    INGREDIENTS

    300g banana (raw)
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
    12 large egg whites
    4oz skim milk
    200g whole grain oats
    1/3 cup splenda
    90g chocolate whey


    DIRECTIONS


    mix all into large mixing bowl. pour into non stick cake pan - bake at 150 degrees Celsius until firm (around 25mins). leave until cold then cut to size

    i cut mine into 8 slices

    NUTRITIONAL INFO per slice (if cut into 8slices)



    PRO: 21g
    CARB: 27g
    FAT: less than 2g


    they dont taste as good as regular pro bars but they are a hell of a lot healthier and very easy to make

    ENJOY

    3 small banana's came to exactly 300g as luck would have it - otherwise i wouldve had to mess around with cutting them in half and what not

    I'm thinking cals would be roughly....

    21 g of pro x 4 cal/g = 84 cals come from pro

    27 g of carb x 4 cal/g = 108 cals come from carb

    I'll say 2 g of fat x 9 cal/g = 18 cals come from fat....

    Total cals = 210 approximately

    Not bad...

    Thats based on the info from G-Force...suggestion of 8 slices...but, how big they are...I'm not sure...

    As far as I can tell...if its 8 slices...the calories would be for one of the eight slices

    Boosting the Cals and Flavour

    i found a nicer way to eat them - tastier and more cals

    i heated up one slice in the microwave and added 200g non fat Bio-Yogurt, a handful of blackberries and one scoop of whey (i used butter cream toffee which is amazing)

    the totals for this dish were:

    PRO: 55g
    CARBS: 45g
    FAT: 2g


    KCALS: 418

    i had this for breakfast this morning - really nice

    give it a try
