1 and 1/2 cup of nut meal (ground nuts, almonds is what i use) (about 60g),
3 cups of oats (about 120 grams),
2 table spoons of honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
, 1 small cup of coconut milk,
1/2 cup of shredded coconut,
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and
3 scoops of vanilla flavoured protein powder.

Mix everything together in a bowl WELL.

Spread the mixture into a non-stick baking sheet (small one) and bake it in the oven for about 15 – 20 minutes until the top is nicely brown. Cut into bars!

    That looks so good! Any idea about calories/bar?

    Not sure. Depends on how big you make them :) what you can do is use the recipe tool on here and then divide it by how many bars you make!

    What brand of protein powder do you recommend? I never had one before and have no idea what kind to buy.

    Look for one without a lot of sugar. I like the EAS brand.

    I live in South Africa right now so I dont think we would have the same brands of protein, but I would look for a low carb/sugar one and make sure its a protein shake and not a meal replacement or bulking protein!! If you go to most health stores they can help. Just make sure its a post-workout protein. Also if you can afford it get organic with the least amount of ingredients!

    Based on cutting these into 8 bars, here's what I got for numbers (different powders will yield different numbers, but close):

    Per Serving:
    347 cals
    33g fat
    17g carbs
    18g protein
    7g fiber
    48mg sodium

    A meal of one 4 oz can of tuna, with 2 slices of protein enriched whole grain bread will be cheaper on cals, and higher on protein and fiber.

    I find the protein power that's made with rice is best. They whey stuff tastes bad.

    When I made these bars it made a lot more than 8 bars! Dividing these into 8 bars they would be HUGE!
