They are more of a protein bar snack recipe versus an after workout or before workout protein bar recipe, nonetheless they taste great!!0 -

bump for later so I'll remember...
I have an awesome recipe for "Lembas Bread" (from the Lord of the Rings; yes, I'm a dork). It's high-protein AND low-carb. Uses almond flour, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, walnuts, maple syrup, bacon. Pretty short ingredient list & easy to make. I'm at work now but I will look up the recipe for you when I get home.0 -

These sound great! I like the carb/protien ration. I always find it interesting when something is being marketed as a protien bar, and it has twice as many carbs as protien.0 -
