Do you have any nutritional information for the bars; even a calorie guesstimation would help. Thanks.

Thanks. How much protein powder?

I'm going to have to try plugging some different versions into the recipe calorie calculator. I made homemade granola protein bars one time but they ended up being 250 calories for a very small bar. They were pretty good but not worth the calories for the size that they were.

sounds lovely, definitely going to try these.

ooops sorry its 1cup protein powder


With all different ways to make these its easier to go to the recipe builder and add what u used to figure each one out. I made one that was 210cals, one that 310 cals, one that was 250cals so it all depends on what u use. Yes that may seem like alot of cals but they r good cals and fill u up. I ate one for breakfast yesterday and forced myself to eat later. These r good for u cals not junk cals.
