i used to buy protein bars, they were 50$ for like 12, and full of sugar, so one day i decided to make my own:
Ingredients:
4 cups oats 1200 cals 216 carbs 40 protein 20 fat
3 bananas 315 cals 81 carbs 3 protein 0 fat
2 cups roasted peanuts 1708 cals 63 carbs 69 protein 145 fat
6 scoops chocolate whey 840 cals 12 carbs 180 protein 9 fat
2-3 tablespoons of water
total cals:
4063 cals 372 carbs 292 protein 174 fat
this made a total of 18 bars, so each bar would be:
225 cals 20 carbs 16 protein 10 fat
makes for a good snack
directions:
using a food processor, process the oats and put aside in a bowl
then process the peanuts and put aside in a bowl
then add a third of the oats and a third of the nuts back into the food processor with 2 scoops of whey, 1 banana, 1 tablespoon of water. process, move mixture into a bowl, and repeat twice.
now get a baking dish, line with cling wrap, and then put this mixture into the dish and press down and flatten out, cover with cling wrap and freeze for a few hours.
take it out of the freezer, cut into bars (how ever big or small you wish), then wrap up individual bars in cling wrap and re-freeze.
take out and eat as needed
notes:
i use Muscle-tech's nitro-tech whey powder
and the peanuts i buy raw, and then roast them myself, most peanuts come salted and i don't want the extra salt...
