Hey everyone!

I was hoping to get some ideas to make some homemade protein bars!!

Buying the bars from the store is getting far too expensive :-P

Thanks! I appreciate your help!

    The name is gross, but I think they're worth a try. This comes from a very reputable natural bodybuilder's website.

    Each Scooby Poo-Bar costs about 60 cents and contains:

    230 Calories
    26g Protein (44%)
    24g Carbs (38%)
    4.5g Fiber
    5.0g Fat (17%)
    1.6g Omega III fatty acids

    Ingredients for 15 bars (Metric Imperial):

    100% natural protein powder - 450g or 16 ounces
    Organic rolled oats - 225g or 8 ounces
    Shredded carrots - 225g or 8 ounces
    Nonfat milk - 140g or 5 ounces
    Natural low sugar fruit jam - 140g or 5 ounces
    Organic ground Flax - 130g or 4.5 ounces

    OK, ready for the instructions? Its pretty complicated!

    1. Dump everything in a bowl and squish it together with your hands. Only put about half the milk in to start and only add milk enough to wet the ingredients, it should be like concrete, not batter. Do NOT use a spoon, you will break it.
    2. Roll dough in your hands to make 15 poo shaped bars. This dough doesn't stick to your hands.
    3. Roll them in ground flax
    4. Put in refrigerator, cool 30-120 minutes before eating.

    Store them in a covered container in the refrigerator, they keep a week. You can also store them covered in your freezer, they keep for months there!
