I made a batch of Tobey's protein bars..

Made that first protein bar recipe:

4 egg whites, 1/4 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup unsw apple sauce, 2 scoops protein powder, 1 tbsp nat. PB, and 1/4 tsp van. extr.

mix, pour into 8x8 pan, bake at 350 for 20 min.

Came out pretty good, but the nutritional info was WAY different with what I used. Here were my ingreds:

12 tbsp Egg "Allwhites" (from Pepetti foods)
1/4 cup Quaker oats
1/2 cup Motts natural unsw applesauce
1 tbsp natural PB (I use pure PB made from nothing but unsalted peanuts ground at the health food store)
1/4 tsp. Van extr.
2 large scoops Optimum Pro Complex choc. flavor

When cut into 9 bars, the stats look like this (per bar):
Cals: 75; Prot: 10g; Carbs: 5g (Sug 2g); Fat: 2g (.5gsat)

Eat 3 of em and youve got the equivalent stats of most of the commercial bars, but with much fewer cals, better quality protein (in most cases), only 15g of slow burning low GI carbs, and 4g of mainly good fats from the PB.

Pretty nice IMO. Thanks for the recipe Tobey!

Grear work Bro. I have been meaning to bake some of those recipies now for some time but haqve not yet.
how did they taste?

Tasted pretty good IMHO. Taste and texture will definitely vary depending on what prot. powder you use. Im actually not a big fan of the Opti. Pro Comp. taste - just used it for the extra protein.

You can always add stuff for more taste too. I think for my next batch, I may use some added Splenda and maybe some sort of flavoring/extract (maybe bamana - nice with the PB).

Pretty good though. Great thing is you cant beat the nutritional info on these things the way I made them. And NO GLYCERINE.

Way to go Improving, And you did'nt have to use a blender!LOL
I really need to quite bashing the blender thing, I hope that Billy dosen't mind. Sounds like they turned out pretty good. Now you know that you have to send me a couple of the bars to try out myself don't cha!j/k No really I
I'm glad that they came out as good as you say.
Tobey

PS> You guys know that like Improving here you can create your own version of these reciepes don't ya? It really can be kinda neat making stuff up. Guess we need to call these

IMPROVING PROTIEN BARS!

i heard Tobey's protein bars were more dry than an afghanistan @#$&^% left in the dessert for 3 days.

That's why I always drink mine with Milk to was them down! LOL

Hey PBNYC...don't be dissing The Iron Chef's recipes. I'm have thinking of vacationing in Bama next year just so I can eat dinner at Tobey's house. Don't worry Tobey...I'll give you at least an hour's notice before Bert and I show up at your door :)

Pete

Come on down Bro! My door is always open to my freinds here at AR.

YUK!

you know i'm only joking w/ you.i'm dying to make those bars.my ex gf use to make me protein brownies all the time.i only think that you should put these all together and find a publisher.why give out the secrets of the Iron Chef for free?hope everythign is goign well with you.you knwo i'm only playing.talk to you soon

Heck we all know that Partyboy. And as far as publishing goes, that might be a problem seeing how most of these are allready published.(I get them from cookbooks,off the internet,from friensds ect) Now you really did'nt think that I thought up all these by myself do you?
