I make a homemade protein bar that actually tastes pretty good. The recipe calls for bananas which I'm not a huge fan of but the peanut butter makes it better. I use a soy protein mix that has about 24 added vitamins and minerals so it's probably pretty close to the same idea. Anyway, here's the recipe:


HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE PROTEIN BARS

200 g old fashioned rolled oats
30 g chocolate flavoured soy protein (try to find one with the added vitamins/minerals)
2 tbsp all natural peanut butter
3 egg whites
300 g bananas (about 2 average size)
1 tbsp honey (natural version)
100 ml skim milk
1 tsp cinnamon


Preheat oven to 180 C
Mix oats, protein & cinnamon
Blend egg whites, PB, mashed banana, milk & honey in blender (or mixer)
Combine with dry mix and stir thoroughly. Spoon onto greased cake tin (I use wax paper and line the tin and then when I lift it out it comes out in a block)
Bake for 15 mins
Remove and cool slightly before cutting into squares

Anyway, like I say I'm not a huge fan of bananas but these taste ok. I do have plans to see if I can make something similar with strawberries (love those). I'll try it this weekend and let you know if they turn out. (I'll post the recipe if I do)
