1 cup of white chocolate chips
(my husband like dark chocolate chips-whatever you like)
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup honey
1 cup of vanilla protein powder
1 cup of flax seed

Mix all the ingredients, spread onto a 10 x 13 cookie sheet, keep in the refrigerator, cut into 32 bars. 169 calories per bar.

They are delicious!

bump for later so I'll remember...

I have an awesome recipe for "Lembas Bread" (from the Lord of the Rings; yes, I'm a dork). It's high-protein AND low-carb. Uses almond flour, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, walnuts, maple syrup, bacon. Pretty short ingredient list & easy to make. I'm at work now but I will look up the recipe for you when I get home.

If it worked like Lembas Bread I'm all for it.... I'm a dork as well Anything with bacon HAS to be good.

Yeah some of them do, you'll have to look one of them have lemon bars and chocolate bars. I'm definitely going to try those two recipes.

Tried to make these once -- tasted OK, but looked like doo-doo. Will take a look at these posts later and give it another go!

This one is from Bodybuilding.com forums and looks really easy!

No-Bake Easy Protein Bars

2 cups Quaker oats (or equivalent)
2 tbsp natural peanut butter
8 scoops (240 g) generic brand whey protein powder (or equivalent)
1 package sugar-free, fat free-Jell-O
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 cup COLD water

After the bars set up in the fridge, I put them in the freezer for 2 hours and then cut them into 8 individual pieces. After a workout, I let them thaw for 30 minutes or so and they are consistently firm and not squishy or runny. Why? The Jell-O mix. Be sure to use cold water when mixing the Jell-O and whey, as it sets up nicer. Aside from baking, these bars are second-to-none to being able to stay firm when thawed out. They yield (approximately) per bar:

225 calories
6 g fat
23.5 g protein

I encourage anyone who makes their own bars to experiment with different ingredients to find something that not only tastes good, but also provides them with their own individual nutritional needs. The greatest thing about designing and making your own product (in this case, protein bars) is being able to substitute and improvise to make something that appeals to you.

This one sounds good albeit most of all due to the amount of protein in each bar. I'm a bit nervous about the Jell-O in a protein bar, because I've never liked the texture of the stuff, however it's worth a shot!!

No texture is added from the sfff pudding mix...it basically acts like a binder for the ingredients. Also I find any recepie I make I can add more protein ...or for muffins I always sub at least half the flour for protein powder...
