Most of the protein bar recipes I've seen here contain oatmeal, flour, honey or dried fruit. Anyone got any nice recipes that are low carb?
Thanks in advance

.......C'mon people! Nobody has any low-carb protein bar recipes?!?!?0 -
I came up with a recipe I absolutely love. It's definitely hard to make homemade low carb protein bars that actually taste good (hey, it's hard enough for giant manufacturers to do it!) but this recipe tastes ridiculously good and strikes a good balance between protein and carbs.
RECIPE: http://quicheaweek.wordpress.com/2012/10/07/protein-bars-no-bake-and-baked-versions/
macros:
Per bar with raisins & goji berries, no chocolate: 154 calories // 13g carbs // 7g fat // 11g protein // 3g fiber // 4g sugar
Per bar with raisins & goji berries, chocolate covered: 180 calories // 16g carbs // 9g fat // 11g protein // 5g fiber // 4g sugar
Add ons: add 10-15 calories, 1g carbs, 1-2g fat, 0-1g protein or so, depending on what you’re using0 -
Thank you, they look fantastic! Definitely going to try them.
Thanks again0 -

These aren't protein bars but they are yummy and great for breakfast on the go or a snack when craving something 'sweet'
Choc nut energy truffles:
Make 8 Balls- 2 net carbs per ball.

50g(1/2 cup) unsweetened coconut flakes (unsweetened dessicated coconut)
2 tbsp unsweetened almond butter.

Here's a recipe I found on Tumblr for a homemade Quest bar:
http://aoifefa.tumblr.com/post/60933185965/renniesane-homemade-quest-bars-variations
Basic Ingredients
4 Scoops your vanilla protein powder (about 1/3 cup a scoop)
1/4 cup nut or seed butter of choice (smooth, not crunchy)
1/3 - 1/2 cup sweetener (I used stevia, less if you like)
2-4 tbsp. water (if you feel you need it)
1/4 cup oat flour or fiber powder or even ground flaxseeds (Omit for lower carbs, best with)
—> In a large bowl, combine the protein powder, oat flour (if using), nut butter and sweetener together. If using stevia / splenda, you’ll need more water than if using honey or agave.
—> Scoop out the dough, shape into 5 bars and add to a sheet lined with parchment paper, refrigerate for 30-40 minutes to firm up.
Per bar (varies with protein powder):
Calories:160
Fat: 8
Protein: 20
Carbs: 11
Fiber: 5
Sugar: 20 -

these are really good, not sure how low in carbs they are since they have nuts and some dried fruit though
