Protein is a big part of a bodybuilding diet. Sometimes it can be difficult to get all the necessary protein (1 - 1.5 grams per pound of body weight) throughout our busy days. I know it’s difficult for me at least. That’s why I like to use my homemade protein bars when I’m on the go and don’t have time to cook (did that sound like an endorsement line?). It’s far better than eating a semi-healthy restaurant meal and way better than fast food. The problem is that most store bought protein bars are typically what I call “sugar-filled, over-processed, soy-protein filled, over-priced crap.” What’s the solution?
Make your own!It’s 10x cheaper and actually taste amazing (especially if you like peanut butter!). Here’s my recipe with pictures. Ingredients: * Whey Protein Powder * Natural Peanut Butter * Oats * Milk Instructions 1. Get Bowl 2. Add 3.5 cups of whole oats 3. Add 5 scoops Whey Protein Powder 4. Add 4 tablespoons of natural peanut butter 5. Add 1 cup milk 6. Mix it all together! It gets a little messy, so don’t be scared to dig in. 7. Important! Spray Pam on a separate plate. 8. Place contents on plate and play with it until it forms a rectangle shape. 9. Cut into 4 equal bars 10. Refrigerate for at least a few hours, and enjoy.

Wow Steve, this is the most professional recipe thread I have ever seen! :-) Thanks for the pictures and all the details! Marie-Eve and I are also huge fans of homemade protein bars! Each week we make some and use a new recipe according to our diets and tastes! For example, we sometimes add, almonds, fruits, dark chocolate, mash mallow or even cereals! Cacao or splenda is also usually used in the recipe!
