kronik's protein bar recipe

[kronik420]

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...

I'm going to try this but with raw nuts rather than roasted. Probably might use almonds too! Thanks kron

Not a fan of bananas. Ditch them and you save 4.5c a bar

Thanks for the recipe kronik420! I will definitely incorporate, and perhaps replace a protein shake with it.

I've made a few batches of these and they're great.
One problem, I use blender and mix small portions at a time. It is a serious pain in the but. Any recommendations to make this job easier?

i use a food processor, and yea, you can't fit all of it in at once, i divided it into thirds..

you could try just adding all the ingredients into a bowl and using your hands to mix it, but that might be harder...

or you can do bigger batches less often, so you will only have to make them once a month or so...

i get 18 bars out of a batch, if i eat 1 a day, that means it'll last me 18 days..

Thanks dude tried and was great and like how I can put what fruit in and not stick with one.

I use a baby food blender less of a noise and better broken up as well.
