Any at all have a recipe using protein powder?

I simply will not buy another packaged bar!

Try on The World According To Eggface... I make a donut that is protein packed that she has on there...she probably has others... the donuts are YUM-O!!!

may I suggest looking at raw cake recipes, adjusting according to taste, and adding an unflavored powder like unjury?

Jamie Eason has some pretty good recipes for protein bars, theyre on bodybuilding.com

I know the guy at GNC tried to talk me out of buying Quest bars there and said you can google a lot of recipes using Protein powder.

I just did a quick search for recipe Protein Powder bar and found a lot of websites. You'll definitely have to look at the recipes and make sure they are bariatric friendly and not just packed with protein (low fat, low sugars, etc.)

Here's one I found that point to a lot of other sites.

Oat and Peanut Butter Protein Bars

oat and peanut butter Protein Bar 300x225 Clean Protein Bar recipes that ROCK

1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)

Thanks everyone!! Wanting to avoid oats and sugar. Pooky's raw cake idea is exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for the tip! I'll post if I can nail down a good combo of lo sugar lo carbs &hi protein. Tks. W

These look great, thanks for posting!

I put together this original recipe using the premise of raw. However they were pretty moist so I thought I'd dehydrate in a low oven for a bit. However the oven was 300 or 350 and I left them in for an hour Oops. They came out dry but the finish can always be adjusted. They are high Protein and lo carb. My search kept directing me to dates, but the Medjool dates were super expensive and had pits! Dates can also be too sweet (for me) so I went with prunes. Here goes:

1 c prunes (packed down and pitted)

1 1/4 c total: toasted: nuts/seeds. I used lots of pumpkin, a few pecans and cashews, sunflower, hemp hearts

4T cocoa powder

6 sc unfl protein powder

Process prunes til sticky, add the rest and evenly incorporate (I gave a few pulses but of course it rendered the nuts tiny)

Press into 8x8 pan and chill.

Warning: These are NOT sweet!

oops and my quick calculations came out at:

128 cals ea

15 gr Protein.

(8x8 pan cut into 12.)

Crap!
