Homemade Protein/Snack bar
« on: January 25, 2013, 03:42:33 PM »
Several people have mentioned in various posts that they make their own protein or snack bars.  I have been buying the Optimum Nutrition protein bars. They have only 1 net carb and 20 grams of protein per bar.  They are ok tasting, IMHO.  However, they do have 22g of sugar alcohols per bar.  My favorites, Quest Bars, have 3 to 5 net carbs per bar, and also have lots of sugar alcohols.  I am looking for something portable.  Something to take with me to work for that mid-afternoon snack, or in the car on trips so that I don't eat "bad" snacks.  I tried to find recipes here on the forum, unsuccessfully.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Thanks.

Hey there Mark  :)  Are you looking for a protein snack bar recipe or just any kind of snack?

We've played around with recipes for homemade protein bars and we always end up back at our homemade beef jerky. Can't get better protein than that  ;)
