Homemade protien bars
Since protein bars are so high carb and full of glycerine and so forth, anyone have any homemade recipes for high protein/low carb bars?
If not, I'm going to go create one myself! Hummm, think I'll start with the LC cream cheese fudge! :D |
Here are two from the Low Carb Kitchen Forum:
Homemade Low-Carb Chocolate Bars Home-made Protein Bars - Fruit-flavoured Karen |
choco/p-nut
I'm rather partial to these -- they are easy to make, tasty, and comprised only of peanut butter, butter, and protein powder --
Robert's P-nut/Choco Power Bars I forget where I got the inspiration for this recipe, somewhere on the web. But I have changed it enough over time that I can post it now with my name -- also with my calorie/fat/carbs/protein calculations. First time I have tried to parse out the numbers like this, and if anyone notices anomalies please let me know. I usually also add some peanuts to this recipe, but did not figure them into the calculations. There is a major default in this recipe: the bars are too damn good. So you'll want to ration yourself to two a day !! -- Robert Robert's P-nut/Choco Power Bars 1 1/2 jars of TJs no-sugar peanut butter (chunky or smooth -- TJ is the brand I use, but any brand is fine; no-sugar is the key) 3 bars butter 2 cups Designer Whey vanilla/praline protein powder 2 cups Designer Whey chocolate protein powder 1 cup Splenda -- Warm p-nut and melt butter in mike, combine -- Combine dry ingredients -- Combine wet and dry ingredients & pout into two square, glass brownie trays -- Refrigerate overnight, then cut into squares and store in plastic containers in freezer or refrige.

Question: How big are the jars of PB? Are they the small (250g), medium (500 gr) or large (1 KG) jars. Judging by how many servings you said are in a jar, I'm supposing you're calling for small jars of PB. Am I right? |
16 oz
Hi --
It occurred to me that I should be specific about the jar size, I am not sure why I was not. They are 16 oz. BTW, I have a revised verson of that recipe I am calling "4-3-2-1 Peanut Butter Bars" because they call for 4 cups protein powder 3 sticks butter 2 jars (or pounds) peanut butter 1 cup splenda Only the ingredient ratios have changed, the song remains the same! Enjoy! RAH |
