Make Your Own Protein Bars?



Recommended Posts

I have never really eaten Protein bars or drank shakes and mouthed off about it quite a lot here - how I dont think you need tons of Protein (still dont) but I have had to see a dietician for other dietary issues and she recommended I get more protein than I do (some days only 50 grams). I loathe Protein Bars - they taste like candles - but I just cant get more protein from what I eat without a ton of saturated fat!

So I have been having Bounce Balls - I dont know if you have them. They are DELICIOUS - fudgy and covered with nuts, and contain a good quality whey protein for the peanut and almond versions and taste like something home made -none of that waxy tasteless Protein Bar experience. And they dont contain such a list of chemicals as protein bars tend to.

I have looked into making quinoa ones too as I have some quinoa and didnt really liked it cooked - how did they turn out?

those Breakfast Cookies intrigue me - I'd swap the butter for a healthy Omega 3 spread - but they intrigue me enough to give the recipe a try! I could make them gluten free.

I don't calorie count or Protein count. I focus on healthy whole foods. I guess the term for it is , "clean eating". Almonds are really healthy and eating chocolate actually helps me to not feel deprived so I don't snack so much. Actually lots of Protein Bars have choc chips!

at home, I just go to the pantry, grab a few walnuts, grab a few choc chips and eat!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
