Discount Supplements

In recent months, I have been testing out ways to create the ideal protein bar recipe. When I began, I was trying out a low carbohydrate diet (kind of like the Atkins Diet) and used protein powder, nut meal and nuts; unfortunately, the end result was a very dry recipe. I was also actually looking for a recipe that would create a bar last throughout the entire week.

When I subsequently turned to a diet higher in carbohydrates, I began to add oats and continued to experiment with various quantities of fruits and nuts. I believe I have finally come close to a perfect recipe. The recipe to my favorite Nut and Fruit Protein Bar is as follows:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup of sultanas
• 1/2 cup of chopped, dried apricots
• 1/4 cup of chopped, dried ginger
• 2 cups of raw oats
• 4 scoops (120g) of vanilla protein powder
• 1/2 cup of skim milk 1 protein bar

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and then stir. Add as much water as is necessary to make the mixture completely moist (finding the perfect amount may require experimenting with each batch). Spread the batter on an 8″x8″ olive oiled sprayed baking pan.

Preheat the over to 180º C, insert pan and cook for 20-30 minutes. When done the top will appear golden brown and glazed. Remove and cut into 8 equal pieces. Can be allowed to cool for an hour, placed in a Tupperware container and put into the fridge or can be eaten immediately. The protein bar pictured is topped with chopped, dried ginger and almonds.

Enjoy as a morning tea snack or as a nutritional boost after a workout. Never again will a meager muesli bar satisfy you! Be on the alert for other high protein bar and snack ideas soon to come to Kyle Wood Fitness.
