Homemade Protein Bar Recipes

My husband has been asking me to make homemade protein bars for a while now. So a few days ago I decided to try a couple of different recipes.

#1) Homemade Protein Bars:

2 cups gluten free oats
4 scoops chocolate protein powder (gluten free)
Sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
½ cup raw chopped almonds, ½ cup natural peanut butter and 1/3 cup water

Mix all ingredients together, spread into pan and refrigerate

#2) Homemade Banana Chocolate Protein Bars:

1 mashed banana

11/2 cups gluten free oats

2 tbsp ground flax seed

2-4 scoops of gluten free protein powder (I used 2)

¼ cup natural peanut butter

¼ cup organic unsweetened coconut

¼ cup coconut oil

¼ cup water

½ dark chocolate bar (Lindt 90% dark chocolate)

Mix all ingredients except chocolate together and spread into pan. Melt chocolate and spread over mixture. Place in freezer for approximately 2 hours.

Results: Both are very yummy options, however while I prefer #1; my husband prefers #2. It is nice to have some variety so having both options available is ideal. We are currently enjoying them both J

Try them out and let me know what you think.

Which do you prefer?

Enjoy!

Until next time,
