Holy crap!!! I went and bought some protein bars today, was recommended some which i can get from the supermarket. I bought 2 x 50g bars and it cost me $10 (NZ) which is just ridiculous to the point where I actually can't afford to keep getting them. Sooooooooooo i thought, why not get my hands dirty and attempt to make a mess in the kitchen!! I just need some good healthy recipes that are not too hard to follow, throw them my way please!!!

    This is a recipe my husband uses -

    1/2 cup slivered almonds
    1/2 cup pecans
    1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

    1/4 cup almond butter (although cashew, hazelnut, walnut and even pumpkin butters will work well too!)
    1/4 cup coconut oil (check your local health food store)

    1/4 cup almond meal (simply pulse approximately 1/4 cup of almonds until it creates a coarse flour)
    1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
    1/2 tsp of raw honey (although, this is really kind of optional because the egg will help hold the mixture together)
    1/2 cup unsweetened whey protein powder (or 60g)
    1 large egg
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    1/2 cup dried cranberries or blueberries
    1/4 cup unsweetened coconut to sprinkle on top

    Nutrition for 1/12 of the batch. Nutritional breakdown courtesy of FitDay.com:
