I'm going to the sto' tomorrow to buy some whey protein and am trying this.

1)
1 cup Natural peanut butter
8 tablespoons honey
1&1/4 cups whey protein powder
1 cup of uncooked oatmeal

Mix the pb and honey in a bowl, microwave on full for 80 secs. Add the rest and mix together (get your hands in man!!) can add raisins/nuts etc to taste. Smooth into 13x9 tray and leave for 20 mins. Cut into 10 to 12 equal bars and wrap and store in fridge.

2)
3 Cups Oatmeal
1/2 Cup Natural Peanut butter
1 cup Skim Milk
4 Scoops Protein Powder
dash of cinnamon

Mix with a large spoon or knife until a sticky batter is formed (may take a few minutes)

use the spoon or knife to spread out the mix into the bottom of a Pam-sprayed glass or metal cooking tray (spread until even)

top with 4-8 packets splenda

put in the fridge overnight and cut into 8 equal bars that yield:

11g fat (good monounsaturated fats)
26g carbs
21g protein

285 calories

Why? Just take protein shakes. Each weight gainer shake I take has 71g of protein with milk :eek3:

dom93hatch

What if you want to have a quick snack? What, are you gonna carry your shake around with you all the time?

edit: 71g is a lot. Specs?

Look at the serving size. My protein has 23g protein, but a serving size of only 28g.

I want to try choc chip protein granola bars.

:eek3:

I take my shakes to work with me in one of those sifter (sp?) type cups and mix them at break time.

This is with water, I take mine with milk.

It's actually not that thick. I never was able to drink normal protein shakes because of the taste, but these aren't too bad.

That's where ours differs the most. Mine is for weight gaining and is rated at 1300 calories with milk. I take 3 of them a day, and do my best to eat regulary.

dubcac

Yeah, mine is just a protein and amino acid supplement. I eat plenty, and just use this as energy and recovery.
