Homemade No Bake Protein Bars

stefaniehaines · August 2012

Here is my protein ball recipe -

Arbonne Protein Balls

1 cup peanut butter or almond butter
3/4 cup honey or agave nectar
1 cup Arbonne Protein powder, chocolate or vanilla (3 scoops)
1 cup oats

The next two are only if you have them, if not, it is fine!
2 scoops Fiber Booster (if you have it, you won’t even know it’s is there, good place to sneak it into your diet)
2 tablespoons Flax Seed (another one to throw in if you have it, just because it’s good for you)

1. Microwave peanut butter and honey in a microwave safe bowl for 90 seconds.
2. Mix in Arbonne Protein Powder.
3. Stir in oats.
4. Wait for it to cool a little and roll into tablespoon sized balls. Makes about 40.

Per ball:
74 calories
9 grams carbs
3 grams fat
2 grams protein

TavistockToad · August 2012

how much protein?

jennmoore3 · August 2012

Dumb question... do you have the oatmeal uncooked?

If you used PB2 instead of peanut butter you would save lots of calories/fat! Google it, you can buy it from Bell Plantation. I've been using it for several years and it is very good!

There is a 30 page thread on bodybuilding.com with hundreds of bake / no bake protein bar recipes.

Be careful when baking with protein powders. I called Optimum Nutrition to get a decisive ruling whether this would effect efficacy and they gave me the run around.

I now use a hybrid approach. Bake the whole food ingredient portion of the bar - sweet potato, toasted quinoa, etc. Then make a chocolate frosting from coconut oil and protein powder, spread on top of the baked bar.

Do you know how many grams of protein are in this? I guess I can take that info off of each ingredient; just thoght you might know. As I am lifting weights I am being sure to maintain proteins. Thanks for the recipe. Protein bars are quite expensive.
