Reply With QuoteCool, thanks Charger. I've been looking for a way to make my own protein bars.
I think I will try those with a fine bottle of chanti.

Homemade protein bars
2 cups NATURAL peanut butter(1 hole container/16 ounces)
6 tablespoons honey
2 1/4 protein powder(any kind will work)
2 cups dry uncooked oatmeal
combine the peanut butter and honey in a mixing bowl and stir
Microwave for 70 seconds( or longer). Add the protein powder and oatmael, mix well
Smoosh until flat into a 13x9 pan Let set to cool then cut into 12 even bars and wrap in plastic and refridgerate
I add more honey so that it will stick together better.
Nutritional facts
Serving size 1 bar
19 good for you grams of fat. (Essential Fatty Acids)
22 grams of Delicious Carbs
around 21 grams of protein
They remind me of a drop cookie or no bake cookie BUT dryer. You will want to have something to drink with it which is also good!

I tried making these before. The "combine the peanut butter and honey" instruction is not as easy as it sounds. Its a work out in itself.

Oldman, are you heating the honey and NATURAL peanut butter? I have never had problems mixing, now if I didn't add extra honey I have had problems with them being too dry and falling apart.

Yep, periodically microwaved the mix to soften it up. Still a pain in the ass.
What's more, those 19gms of fat from peanut butter are anything but good. That's almost a 1:1 protein:fat ratio.... Not good at all.

Yep, I used natural peanut butter and natural honey too.
The workout making them isn't the real problem. The real problem is the protein:fat ratio. Instead of being close to 1:1 it should be much closer to 10:1, 10gms protein to 1gms fat.

Earwax, what do you think? There a pain to make I admit but the taste and price is right I think. Let me know what you think and be honest.

Well to be honest, I didn't use the natural peanut butter, but I used everything else. They tasted great. So great in fact (with Designer Whey) that I ate it all in 3 days. They seemed to stay together great after I put them in the little fridge I have in my room. Next time, I will try the natural peanut butter and not eat too many of those things in one week. I think it backed my movements (if ya know what I mean) up a bit. All in all, I enjoyed the experience. Thanks Charger. Let me know if you come up with some other easy receipes.
