Perfect Protein Bars
- 3 very ripe bananas
- 2 tbsp. Naturally More (flax + peanut butter, lower in fat and calories and with Omega 3s)
- 3 scoops EAS vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 c. rolled oats
- 1/2 c. oat bran
optional (I will add these in the future): mini choc. chips, dried fruit, nuts, applesauce, hot choc. mix.
Heat PB and bananas in the microwave for 1 -2 minutes until it is easy to stir. Add the rest of the ingredients to the mixture and stir. The mixture will be difficult to stir. When everything is mixed, place bowl of mix into the fridge to solidify a little. Then, break the mixture into hunks (nice word choice) 🙂 and form bars.
These are even approved and enjoyed by Brady, he is a good judge of if things taste “too healthy”. They are great because the ingredient list is all whole foods, except the protein powder.
Sorry they are not too pretty…you can see the banana in there!
Hooray for protein bars!!! 😀
awesome!! i’ve been meaning to try my own, but i need to get thru my stash first 🙂
I recently made my own protein bars with pumpkin, oats, dates and wheat berries. I liked them a lot, but felt I needed something to bind them together. What is binding yours? They look wonderful!
I used the melted peanut butter, Naturally More, and the mashed banana to keep them together. I think next time I will add a little unsweetened applesauce! Adding pumpkin sounds great! And I love wheat berries!
