Does anyone have a tried and true protein bar recipe? I am looking for a recipe to make a snack type protein bar to curb both sweet tooth and hunger. Maybe chocolate, peanutbutter or pumpkin. Thanks

    Inkdgirl's recipe is very similar to the one I use. I got it from someone here on MFP. They're SO yummy and easy to make.

    2 cups instant whole wheat oats
    1/2 cup natural PB
    1 tbsp milled flaxseed
    4 scoups protein powder
    1/2 cup water

    Mix all ingredients and press into square pyrex. Freeze for 45 minutes. Remove and cut into squares. I usually get ~12 bars out of mine at 163 cal, 13g carbs, 7g fat (good fat), 13g protein, 2g sugar (nice and low compared to packaged protein bars), 17mg sodium.
