Homemade Protein Bar Recipe

Thought I'd share my homemade protein bar recipe. I got the idea from scoobysworkshop.com and just modified it slightly.

The following makes 5 bars with approximately 225 calories and 30g protein in each bar.

1.) Rolled Oats - 1 cup (1 serving)
2.) Protein Powder - 5 scoops (I use ON 100% Whey Natural Chocolate)
3.) Honey - 21g (1 serving)
4.) Peanut Butter - 32g (1 serving)
5.) Ground Flax Seed - 13g
6.) Skim Milk - 1/4 to 1/2 cup (depends how soft/hard you want your bars)

To prepare:

1.) Get a big mixing bowl
2.) Get a sheet of wax paper and lay out on counter
3.) Sprinkle flax seed all over the wax paper (you'll use this to roll your bars on once prepared)
4.) Dump rolled oats, protein powder, honey, peanut butter, and skim milk in the mixing bowl
5.) Mix with your hands (you can run your hands under cold water to help keep it sticking to your hands)
6.) Take a chunk into your hands, roll it into a ball, and then roll it around on the flax seed on the wax paper.
7.) Make 5 of these (estimate size) and put into a tray, cover with aluminum foil, and let sit in fridge 30-60 min

These should last about a week in the fridge if covered up good. I bring these with me to work for a snack between lunch and leaving work before dinner. Good way to prevent getting starved before dinner as well as getting in some additional protein in a tasty, homemade snack that doesn't have a bunch of garbage in them like the store bought bars do.

Give it a shot sometime. It takes me about 15-20 minutes to make these and I'm a guy that sucks at cooking stuff.
