No need to buy those expensive protein bars when you can make your own! These are lower in calories, carbs, and fat anyway! They are quick, easy, and fun to make! There's a variety of food you can use too for different flavors :)
Ingredients:
2 cups quick oats
1/2 cup of natural peanut butter or almond butter
3-4 scoops of protein powder (whatever flavor you like) I used vanilla.
1 tbsp. ground flaxseeds
1/2 cup of water
*You can also add or substitute the above with pumpkin, almonds, pecans, walnuts, dark chocolate chips, dates, dried cranberries, dried cherries, dried blueberries, and/or raisins.
Mix all of the ingredients together (the mixture should be the consistency of cookie dough).
Place wax paper on top of a casserole dish or plastic container that is shallow, and spread the mixture into the container. Freeze for about 30 minutes then cut into bars or squares. I keep mine refrigerated after that. This recipe makes about 8 bars.
