A protein bar perfect for small appetites. Provides instant energy. Not as sweet as a chocolate bar, and not as unhealthy as a chip-biscuit. But the price is heavy. So even if you see protein bars on the supermarket shelves, you often have to suppress the urge to buy. Plus, it’s easy to skip preservatives, no matter how many authentic ingredients are listed on the ingredients list.
Do you know, protein bars can be made at home using some simple ingredients, which are delicious. There will be no question about the quality of health either. No need to burn gas. Can be safely consumed after exercise after returning from the gym or at home.
Procedure 1
Ingredients:
• Rolled oats: 1 cup
• Peanut butter: 1/2 cup
• Honey: One tablespoon
• Protein powder: 1/2 cup (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
• Milk: 2-3 tbsp
• Sea salt: A pinch
• Dark chocolate syrup
Method:
Mix peanut butter and honey in a bowl. Melt the pot over hot water to make it easier to mix. Microwave can also be used. Mix oats, protein powder, little salt and milk as required. Mix well and make thick dough.
Line a small baking tray with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into it and spread it evenly by pressing it with the back of a spoon or with wet hands. The mixture layer should be 1-2 inches thick. If desired, you can spread dark chocolate syrup on top.
Refrigerate with the tray for 1-2 hours. When it hardens, take it out and cut into bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Method 2
Ingredients:
• Rolled Oats: 1 cup (can be ground for finer texture)
• Peanut butter: 1/2 cup
• Honey: One tablespoon
• Chia or flax seeds: one tablespoon
• Crushed almonds: one tablespoon
• Grated desiccated coconut: 1/2 cup
• Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
• Sea salt: A pinch
Method:
Mix peanut butter and honey in a bowl. The method of thawing is the same as before. Mix the vanilla extract with it. In another bowl, mix oats, chia/flax seeds, crushed almonds, coconut husk and salt well. Mix peanut butter-honey with the mixture.
Line a small baking tray with parchment paper. Pour the mixture and spread it as before. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. It is ready when it is taken out and cut into long pieces.
