Homemade Protein Bars
I wanted to share this recipe that was posted on the site’s forum from a fellow P90Xer (drisc)…
1/4 cup reduced fat peanut butter
3 TBL fat-free chocolate syrup
3 scoops chocolate protein powder (I used whey protein)
1 – 1 1/2 TBL water (you may need more…I think probably closer to 3 TBL)
In small bowl, combine peanut butter and chocolate syrup. Add the protein and enough water to moisten slightly. Place mixture on waxed paper or plastic wrap, and knead by hand for a few seconds to blend ingredients. Form into four bars of small rectangles either by hand or rolling mixture with a rolling pin between two sheets of waxed paper. Wrap each bar in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator to preserve freshness. I put in freezer for 30 minutes before eating and it came out great.
Makes 4 bars

Seeing that I already have the ingredients, my plan is to make a batch tonight.
Thanks for sharing Drisc!

Great stuff Drisc, just made a batch.
I ended up cutting it into squares after I took it out of the freezer, it was too sticky to do so before.
They taste like a chocolate peanut butter desert so I may cut them into eights and eat them as an 85 calorie / 10 grams of protein snack…thanks!
