2 cups Almond Butter (can use Natural PB)
16T honey
2 1/2 cups of whey Protein (used vanilla praline, and chocolate peanutbutter in another batch - both were good)
1 cup of uncooked raw oats
1 cup of Flaxseed Meal (double the oats if you don't have this)
Nuke the almond/peanut butter & honey in a microwavable bowl, until it's soft. I needed about 1 minute 30 seconds. Add the rest of the ingredients. With really clean hands dig in and mix up. Press into a tray (the above fit into one of those pyrex casserol dishes, so halve it if your tray is shorter). Put into the fridge for about 1/2 hr to set up. Cut into blocks and enjoy. I made about 12 blocks out of the above recipe. 6 when I cut it in half.

Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups natural peanut butter
2 cups honey
2-1/4 cups protein powder
3 cups uncooked oatmeal >li>1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup wheat bran
Preparation: In a double boiler, warm the peanut butter and honey to a smooth consistency. This step can be done in the microwave as well--just heat both ingredients for 70 to 90 seconds. In a mixing bowl, stir together all remaining dry ingredients. Pour in the peanut-butter mixture and stir until completely combined. Spread uniformly into a brownie pan. Slice into 12 to 16 pieces, then wrap each piece in plastic wrap.
Each Granola Nut Protien Bar costs 25 to 35 cents to make, as opposed to 99 cents and up for store-bought energy bars. On top of that, if you do use organic ingredients, you won't believe the difference!
Nutritional information:
200 calories per bar 9 grams fat 3 to 4 grams fiber 15 grams protein 26 grams carbohydrates
These bars are definitely not low-fat (they have four times as much fat as a PowerBar), so you may want to reserve them for when you're working out hard

3 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups dried milk
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup lite syrup
2 scoops protein powder
2 large egg whites or 1 egg
11/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raisins or dried fruit and chopped
Line cookie sheet with waxed paper and preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Spread onto sheet, press cutting lines in to make 10 pieces. Bake 15 minutes until golden brown, cut apart, then cool and wrap. Store airtight at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Tofu Bars
1 box Tofu, drained and whipped or mashed (I use low-fat MORI-NU)
1/2 cup egg whites (All White's Brand not Eggbeaters as they have flavors in them )
2/3 cup protein powder ( I use the multi blend like HDT, Muscle Provider, Ultra Size with 0-3 carbs in them. If I use 100% whey it will need an extra tablespoon of flour because 100% whey make the batter wetter!You can use part MPR powder like Met Rx (but it will increase the carb ratio )
16-18 Splenda packets(can use Nutra-Sweet Equal which will be sweeter)
*i have never tried with sugar but the eqivalent would be 1/3 to 1/2 cup.
1/3 cup regular oats
1/3 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour OR grind 1/3 cup oats until very fine.
1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon
optional: 1/4 cup raisins and sprinke crushed almond slices
on top. Batter should not be thin like a cake more stiff like a brownie batter.
(I don't add baking powder because they get cake like with out it they are more dense)
Put in a small 8x8 pan spray with PAM (or other) bake about
18-22 min at 350. This is the tough part. They are done when they are firm on the top but still a little soft inside.
Tofu is a funny thing as it cools it gets firm. If you over cook it it will just dry out. You may have to experiment because of all the proteins on the market. Don't use soy they taste yucky with soy.
with low fat tofu
this is about 40 % carb 45% protein and 15% fat
about 938 per pan so don't eat 1/2 of it like my husband does. let them COOL before cutting

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9 x 9" square pan with cooking spray and set aside.
In a med. bowl combine oatmeal, protein powder, and dry milk. Set aside. In another bowl beat together with an electric hand mixer; cream cheese, egg whites, bananas, water and oil.

Homemade protein bars..

2 Tbls. butter
2 Tbls. heavy cream
3 pkts Equal (I used Splenda)
3 scoops (1 cup) Chocolate Designer Protein (or any other chocolate whey protein)
1 cup chopped peanuts (I used 1 1/4 cup chopped pecans)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut (hence the above!)
2 Tbls. Sugar Free Torani Syrup or maple syrup (or water, in a pinch...) --I used the maple syrup, as that, our market had!
Melt choc and butter in mike 1 min; stir until completely melted. Add Equal and heavy cream and stir til creamy. Add protein powder, peanuts, coconut and stir till mixed pretty well, add syrup (or water), and mix thoroughly(you may have to knead with your handsat this point, as mixture will be very stiff). Line a bread loaf pan with plastic wrap and press in mixture firmly and evenly. Chill till firm. Cut into 6 bars. These were huge, so I made it into 9 bars.
Approx 5 carbs/15 grams protein per 1/6 recipe.

Natural Health and Strength
This Make 16 Protein Bars
1 Cup of Natural Peanut Butter or LowFat Peanutbutter
1 1/2 cups Honey
2 cups of protein powder (I use vanilla whey protein) (Chocolate is great too!)
3 cups dry,uncooked oatmeal
Directions:
Combine peanut butter and honey in a large nonstick pot, and warm it up over low heat . I start out with just the peanutbutter and honey, then add the protein powder,and finally the oats. You don't want to cook it, just heat it up enough to be able to stir it together.
Press into a 9" x 13" pan. Let them cool, and cut into 16 equal bars.(I cut them into 32 bars). Wrap each bar in foil or saran wrap and store in plastic baggies. No need to refrigerate, the ingredients are all natural.

5 tbsp natural peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
* 1/2 cup dry oat meal or whole grain hot cereal (uncooked)
* 1/2 cup oat flour (double the dry oats if you do not have oat flour)
* 6 scoops chocolate whey protein (approximately 132 grams worth of low-carb protein powder)
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 tablespoons flax seeds (optional)
* 1 cup non-fat dry milk
* 1/2 cup water (depending on what type of protein you use, you may need to add more)
* Modifications: Use vanilla protein and replace ~1/4 cup of the oatflour with a variety of nuts, seeds, or dried berries.
Spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Combine dry ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix well. Add peanut butter and mix - the mixture will be crumbly and dry. Add water & vanilla. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, everything until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky. Spread dough into pan using a clean wooden spoon or spatula that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Refrigerate a few hours (or freeze for an hour) and cut into 9 squares. Wrap bars individually (use sandwich bags or plastic wrap) or store in covered container between sheets of wax paper. Keep refrigerated
