Power Up.

Get rid of the junk and get into this healthy hunk! Protein bars can get pretty costly, but not if you make them yourself. A simple recipe can make up to 20 bars at only 98 calories and 10 grams of protein! These bars are packed with power and taste good too.

Recipe:
  • 3 cups of oats
  • 8 scoops of protein powder (I chose Designer Whey Vanilla Almond 100 calorie)
  • 1 package of dry pudding (fat free and sugar free- vanilla or chocolate)
  • 2 cups of nonfat skim milk
  • 2 Tbsp. of flaxseed. Be sure to toast and grind seeds before using. (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Spread out evenly on a pam sprayed glass or cooking metal tray. Place in freezer overnight. Wait 10 minutes to thaw, cut into 10-20 bars and enjoy this chewy gooey treat. (Keep Refrigerated)
