Recipe - Pro-Bars!

Protein bars are a practical and easy meal-on-the-go for many health minded people but the cost of them can add up. Not to mention that commercial protein bars tend to contain artificial ingredients that are necessary to make the product shelf-stable and market-friendly.

Making your own protein bars is not difficult and the variations are endless. Also, it's a very quick process. I have made this bar with Rice Protein, Soy Protein and Whey Protein. You might want to leave out the agave syrup if you use a sweetened protein.

Pro-Bars

Ingredients
100g Protein Powder
100g Nut Butter (almond butter is my favourite)
1.5tbsp flaxmeal/ground linseed
3 tbsp agave syrup (use 1tbsp if your protein powder is already sweet)

1 egg 2-3 egg whites

Optional: Chopped dried fruit. I add 100g chopped prunes for chewiness. You can also add chopped nuts, include cocoa if you like it chocolatey, add some peppermint essence or other flavour. In fact, you can let your imagination go to work around the core ingredients and it will usually work out, or at least, be edible ;)

Instructions

Mush all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Add an extra egg-white if it's still powdery

Cook. I use a silicon loaf tin for this and I'd recommend it for ease of removal. Cook for exactly 12 minutes on moderate heat. You will think it is underdone, but the bars turn out fine once they cool. Cut into bars, stash in a sealed container in the fridge. If you wrap them in baking foil, they are just as handy as a bought one.

The nutritional info below is very indicative and is based on the recipe above including 100g dried fruit. Without the dried fruit, the carbs drop to less than 10g per bar, depending on what type of protein you are using.
