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!

    These sound great and nice and easy to make in advance and bring with on the go if you don't have time to prep a meal! Thanks!!

    Hey, this recipe makes no sense. The cups and grams ratio is no way proportional. The three cups of oats is not 120 grams. Three cups of oats is 255 grams. 1 and 1/2 cup of ground nuts is nowhere near 60 grams. How much is three scoops of protein powder? How big are the scoops? What temperature are you baking them at, et cetera.
