    these bars are DELICIOUS!
    this is my second time making my own protein bars & this recipe is way better than the previous one.

    You Need:
    - Gold Standard Whey Protein ( Cookies & Cream )
    - 100% Whole Grain Oats
    - All-Natural Peanut Butter
    + Water

    Directions:
    Microwave about 1/4 cup of water & 1/4 cup of peanut butter for 1minute.
    Then add it to a mixing bowl of 1 scoop whey protein & 1 cup of oats.
    Mix. Shape. Refrigerate.

    Do you think soy protein would work? I just bought the soy today. Going to try.

    Using the following ingrediants, this is what the total recipe yields. It can be divided into how many servings anyone would want.

    - 100% Whole Grain Oats (Generic stats pulled from MFP)
    - JIF Creamy Peanut Butter (I keep a container at work)
    - Gold Standard Whey Protein Vanilla Ice Cream

    Calories: 780
    Total Fat: 39g
    Sat. Fat: 7g
    Carbohydrates: 61g
    Sugar: 7g
    Protein: 50g

    The Gold Standard recommended by the OP is actually the brand I use but I prefer the vanilla ice cream. Most of their flavors don't deviate much with the nutrition data but you can look them all up on bodybuilding.com
    Scroll down to the bottom right, pick your flavor and check the nutrition data.

    http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html;jsessionid=317F00F880A40AB6244326A26840FFFE

    They have a rather large flavor selection so it would allow a lot of experimenting.

    Made yesterday with:

    Quaker 1 Minute Oats
    EAS Whey - Vanilla
    Jif Peanut Butter.

    Followed the directions as stated in the OP. Made 4 "meatball" sized snacks. Popped in the fridge, and went to workout.

    Came home, had with coffee.

    Absurdly delicious. Cost = Around a quarter per bar.
    Nutritional Facts, for those lazy (Assuming 4 bars per batch) = 220 Calories, 12g Fat (2.5 Saturated), 118mg Sodium, 10mg Cholesterol, 19g Carb (3g Sugar, 3g Fiber), 11g Protein.

    Thank you for the excellent (and really damned easy) recipe.

    Tried this today. Wow, they're lovely! My variation:

    1/4 cup Mara Natha Natural Almond Butter
    1 cup Robin Hood - Large Flake Oats
    1 scoop Strive Pro-Isl Ultra Premium Vanilla Whey

    Makes 4.

    Nutrition per Serving:
    Calories: 230
    Carbs: 19g
    Fat: 10g
    Protein 18g
    Sodium: 23mg
    Sugar: 1g

    Almost a one-to-one carbs-protein protein bar? Wonderful! : D And the almond butter makes it ridiculously filling. I tend to not get enough fats in my diet, so this will be a nice help : ).

    im sure the nutritional data would be different regardless ... For me I use 3 different types of protein all differing in nutritional data as well as peanut butter or even the oats not all the same ...

    Love easy recipes like this, and I have all the ingredients in the pantry. Thank you for sharing this, OP! :flowerforyou:

    So people who post recipes, why can't you enter them into the 'recipe' app here on MFP and post the breakdown for calories, protein, carbs, etc.? Certainly would be thoughtful, helpful and considerate.

    How about YOU do your own homework in the recipe builder on MFP because you may or may not use the same brands of ingredients, or you may decide on different portion sizes for yourself?

    Seriously, it isn't hard. :frown:

    I came up with 830 calories for the entire batch (not sure how big each square will be since I haven't made them yet.

    Oats are 300 calories for one cup
    Most peanut butters are 190 per 2 tablespoons so this recipe calls for 4 tbsp = 380
    Most Whey protein powders range from 140-160 so I went with the middle range 150

    830 for the batch

    nutrition data?
    \

    1 cup oats = 150 calories
    2 tablespoons PB = 190 calories (typically) and there are 4 tbsp in 1/4 cup so double it
    1 scoop protein powder = probably somwhere around 150 cals but they're all different.

    Now add that up and divide by the number of bars you make.

    Done.

    I love you Megan

    I can't make this with any type of nut butter. May be a long shot but is there anything that could work as an alternative?
