INGREDIENTS

10 tbsp. natural peanut butter
5 egg whites
5 scoops whey protein (I find that chocolate mint tastes the best in this recipe, however chocolate tastes good as well)
2 cups oats (OPTIONAL: For flavor, I dry cook these on a frying pan until they are toasted)
1/2 cup soy milk

DIRECTIONS

Mix the peanut butter and egg whites in a bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, and mix well (so that the mixture appears smooth). Repeat 4-5 times until all traces of egg whites have dissolved into the peanut butter, and your mixture is a smooth consistent one.

Gradually add the protein (one scoop at a time) and stir into the mixture. Next, add the soy milk and follow with the oats. Continue mixing until a thick 'sticky' mixture is present.

Smooth the thick mixture into a 13x9 tray and leave for 20-30 minutes. Cut into 10 equal size bars. Individually wrap each bar (I use aluminum foil) and store in the fridge.

Amazing 55 Cent Nutrition Bar

I kitchen tested this one a few different times and I think I got it right. Increasing the protein did not work well for me and I slightly increased the carb count with a bit of natural applesauce but it's softer now. It tastes fine without it too if you don't have applesauce around the house.
I thought this would be a good snack/post workout choice with a little natural peanut butter for some fat and supplement it with a protein drink or eat it with breakfast with some eggwhites. I just had one warm (hey, I know it's late for carbs but I had to taste test) and thought it would be good with reduced/non-fat butter too. In any case, it's 55 cents and less than 5 mins to prepare, and a pretty big size bar.
Recipe Yields 10
Per serving: Calories- 140 Carbs- 23g Protein- 15g Fat- .5 g
Cost Per Serving- $0.55 ( oatmeal and eggs were on sale, reduced calorie syrup is most costly component)
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups rolled oats (I used quick oats)
1 1/2 cups powdered non fat milk
1 cup sugar free or reduced calorie fructose sweetened pancake syrup
(nutrition stats based on reduced calorie..s/f syrup may reduce carbs a little more)
2 egg whites
1/4 cup Orange Juice
1 tsp Vanilla
1/4 c. natural applesauce
4 scoops chocolate whey protein powder (I used Max Whey for this)
Directions:
-Preheat overn to 325
-Mix all the dry stuff in bowl to blend it
-Add in remaining ingredients and mix well. Consistency is sort of like cookie dough
-Spread on cooking sheet coated with non-stick spray. You can use a 9X12 baking dish if you want it thicker.
-Bake until edges are crisp and browned. Since the protein is choc. flavored you might not noticed the top brown that much.
-Cut into 10

PART 1

These recipies are for the money challenged teen. We all see the mrps and protien bars in the stores and (at least i do) wish we could afford them. but, usually, we dont have the cash flow for 2.50 a bar. lol anyway. point is these are fast and easy(most of them any away) recepies for all sorts of crap. they are also great to make if your mom is like mine and has something against either spending money or protien. mine is always complaining that im gonna kill myself with it. soi this way its hidden, and you are saving a whole assload of money by not buying them from GNC. in regards to protien, feel free to use generic 5 lb tub of it. it works just as well and is cheap so you dont have to use your more expensive ****!! Also, i did not get these recepies from bb.com or any of the forums so dont whine that you "just posted them" cuz i dont care. also, most are not my origional creations, just variations on stff, so props to those who made them!!! good luck, i hope these help(i know they helped me) and good eating!!!!


Fast, Cheap and Simple

1 cup Natural peanut butter
8 tablespoons honey
1&1/4 cups whey protein powder
1 cup of uncooked oatmeal

Mix the pb and honey in a bowl, microwave on full for 80 secs. Add the rest and mix together (get your hands in man!!) can add raisins/nuts etc to taste. Smooth into 13x9 tray and leave for 20 mins. Cut into 10 to 12 equal bars and wrap and store in fridge!!

protein 20g, carbs 30g and fat 20g of which only 3g are saturated. Those figures are per bar, don't forget your 128g fat divides into 10 to 12 bars and most of the fat in pb is healthy fat which the body uses similar to carbs. The ammounts may vary slightly depending on recipe adjustments, they are well worth the 10 to 15 mins to make. Enjoy your eating bro's
 
FOR VEGANS!!!!!

a 40-30-30 zone food

3 cups rolled oats
3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
1 cup soy protein
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons fructose (or however much sugar)
1/2 cup pecans or sunflower seeds chopped (optional..i guess)
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/3 cup chopped dried fruit or raisins
1/2 cup water or apple juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour, oat or rice flour; as needed to thicken
1 cup or more additional liquid (milk maybe? or if you are really serious....soy milk?) to achieve texture (varies, depending on additions)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease a cookie sheet.

Mix everything but the flour, let it sit a few minutes, then beat with a fork until it begins to thicken. Add enough liquid or flour to make a stiff dough.

Roll or pat out on the cookie sheet, about 1/4 inch thick, cut 20 pieces. Cut with cookie cutter or roll out a rectangle on a greased cookie sheet and separate into 4x5 rectangles for 20 biscuits or bars.

Bake 12 minutes.

The apple juice adds additional carbs, but nice flavor, and some folks enjoy a little cinnamon. If you are NOT vegan, you can beat in some eggs and reduce the water or apple juice for a little better texture and protein.



HIGH PROTEIN SNACK BARS

1/2 c. butter
1 c. peanut butter
1 1/2 c. or 12 oz. carob chips
1 c. wheat germ
1 c. shredded coconut
1 c. chopped nuts
1/2 c. sesame seeds
1/2 c. sunflower seeds
May substitute granola for these ingredients.

Melt butter, peanut butter and chips. Mix all and press into 9x13 inch pan. Chill until firm. really easy....really really easy!!!)

(Note: Although these are sugar free they are not low calorie - high fat content.)


Cereal Protien Bars

(makes a decent breakfast)

1/2 c. white syrup
3/4 c. crunchy peanut butter
3 c. Rice Krispies, corn flakes, ect.
1 tsp. vanilla

Boil sugar and syrup until sugar dissolves. Add vanilla and peanut butter. Stir until melted. Add cereal. Put in buttered 9-inch pan. DON'T BAKE! Sprinkle 1 package butterscotch chips and 1/2 package chocolate chips over top. (or all chocolate if thats what your into) Place under broiler for just a few seconds. Spread, cool, and cut.


Oat ?n? Banana Slices

Ingredients:

6 Egg Whites
1 Egg Yolk (for those extra amino acids)
200g Porridge Oats (Complex Carbohydrate)
60g Banana Flavoured Whey Protein Powder (Any other flavor could be used.)
150ml Pure Orange Juice (For Flavour and Vitamin C)
2 Sliced Bananas (Flavour and Sweetness)
2 Tablespoons Cookable Sweetener (Such as Hermesetas or Canderel)
Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Put all the ingredients into your mixing bowl and stir until you have a nice even, mixture. (Should look pretty gooey.)
Find a baking tray approx 8inch by 8inch and 1inch deep.
Rub your baking tray with vegetable oil or cooking spray to prevent to mixture sticking.
Pour your mixture into the baking tray and then place in the oven.
Bake for around 20 Minutes or until golden brown.
Leave to cool and then cut into 8 pieces with a sharp knife.

Nutrition: Each slice contains approximately: Protein: 12.4g from mixed sources (Whey, Egg & Oats) Carbohydrate: 21.6g Fat: 2.1g Fat Please Note that these nutritional values have been calculated using the figures from the ingredients, added together and divided by eight (the number of slices). These figures may vary depending on the manufacturer of your protein powder and also the size of the eggs that you use.
(each slice contains 155 kcals.) Comment: Oats are a complex carbohydrate which offer a slow and sustained flow of energy. Oats also have high fibre and great nutritional value. they make an excellent pre workout meal.


Brownies

Ingredients:

60 grams chocolate protein powder
3/4 cup oat flour (if you don't have any just put some oats in a blender and chop them until they are powder)
3 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
a dash salt
2 egg whites
3/4 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
3 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp. water
1 tsp. vanilla extract ? optional
Preparation:
Mix the ingredients together and pour into a greased 8x8 pan.
Bake at 350 degrees farengheit for 18 min.
Makes 9 brownies. Each brownie is 30 40 40 balanced.


Chewy Protein Bars

These are not quite like the ones you buy in the store, but I like them. These bars are also balanced 30-40-40 or zone friendly.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp. oatmeal (you can either grind it up into a powder using a blender or just use rolled oats)
3 tbsp. milk
35 grams protein powder
2 tbsp. peanut butter (you could use almond butter or olive oil as well)
2 tbsp. + 3 tablespoons of sugar
2-tbsp. hot water mixes the oatmeal with the milk.

Preparation:
Add the protein powder and peanut butter. Mix until it looks crumbly. If you have big chunks, then make them smaller by mashing them with a fork or whatever.
Mix the sugar with the hot water. Stir until dissolved.
Add the water with sugar to the oatmeal mixture and use your hands to combine everything (dig into them) You really have to use your hands because a spoon or fork just doesn't mix everything properly.
Place the mixture in a wax paper lined container.
Cut into 6 bars and place in the fridge to cool.
Oatmeal Protein Bars:

Ingredients:

3 cups oatmeal
140 grams protein powder
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk
2 egg whites
1 cup apple sauce
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
You can also add fructose or sugar, I dont because my protein powder is sweetened enough.

Preparation:

Combine the above ingredients and put in a oiled (use pam) 9x9 pan.
Bake @ 350 for 35 min.
Makes 8 bars. When they are cool, put them in the fridge or they will go to shat in a few days.
These are great for breakfast. I use chocolate protein powder and I don't always put apple sauce in (I usually don't have any). I just put more milk in. Make sure that the mixture is not too dry, but it shouldn't be watery like soup either or it will take forever to cook. You can also add cinnamon. I do that when I use vanilla protein powder.


Bulking Bars!!!

Be warned, though. Kinda makes, um, defecation rather enthusiastic.

Ingredients:

300g Oats
25g The Ministry of Fitness Vanilla Whey
40g Crunchy Peanut Butter
2 (60g) Eggs
1 Banana (120g)
1 tablespoon Honey
100ml Regular Milk
Pinch salt
Generous pinch Cinnamon
Preparation:

Add Oats to mixing bowl.
Add whey, mix briefly.
Add pinch salt, and cinnamon.
Add Peanut Butter. Mix, trying to break peanut butter up into small lumps. Mix briefly.
Gradually add lightly beaten eggs, while mixing.
Add (mashed) banana, mix well.
Add honey, mix.
Gradually add milk, whilst mixing.
Place in lightly oiled or greaseproof paper lined square baking tin (I used a 7"x7"x1.5" tin)
Bake at moderate oven temp. (180 deg) for 20-25 mins, or until golden brown.
I have just made these for the first time. They smell nice, are slightly soft-centred due to the banana, and taste quite good, although very oat-ey. I got 8 slices out of the mixture. Each slice is :

135.5 kcals
7.5g Protein
14g Carbs
5.5g Fat
..based on the ingredients used. These bars were made with the intention of convenient food while bulking. I would have preferred more protein in the bars. Next time, I will add more whey, another banana and egg, and possibly less oats. They are great for bulking phase, and if you can change the recepie, prob cutting as well! Enjoy
note; another 50grams of whey would put the Protein to Carbohydrate ratio at 1:1 and this would be good and the bars would still retain their moist, rich texture.

----------------------------------
Protien Nutrtion Bar

A great protein nutrition bar at a mere fraction of the cost of packaged protein bars but none of their glycerin, preservatives, or sugar! These easy-to-make low-fat protein bars are high in fiber content and taste great with a spread of natural peanut butter across the top. with a protein drink, they make a well-balanced meal.
8 minutes to prepare
1. Preheat oven to 325°. Mix all dry ingredients in bowl and blend well.
2. In separate bowl, combine eggwhites, orange juice, applesauce, and sugar-free syrup and stir until well blended.
3. Stir liquid mixture into dry ingredients and mix well. The consistency will be thick and similar to cookie dough.
4. Spread batter onto a baking sheet coated with non-stick spray. Use a 9x12 baking dish if you prefer thicker bars. Bake until edges are crisp and browned (about 15 minutes depending on bar thickness)
5. Cut into 10 bars and refrigerate in airtight container.

TIPs

1.If you find you want a more moist consistency, add a little more applesauce to the recipe for softness.
2.Baking with applesauce: Did you know you can replace the oil in a recipe with an equal measure of applesauce? Applesauce will add the same moisture but not the added fat and it won’t alter the flavor.
3.Bars may also be frozen and thawed in microwave before eating.
4.Per Serving: Calories- 140 Carbs- 23g Protein- 15g Fat- .5 g Fiber- 4 g

Well done for finding it. Looks like some great ideas and I'll definately be giving them a go! Keep it up!
 
I just made the "CHEAP to make" bars. They arent too bad. I used cookies n cream protein. and put some chocolate chips, cinnamon(spelling) and a little sugar on the top. Should these bars be kept refrigerated at all times??...thanks for the recipie.

protein 20g, carbs 30g and fat 20g of which only 3g are saturated.

When I followed this recipe to the letter, the bars were a little crumbly so, I've tweaked it a little. I only use 5 tablespoons of honey and I add an egg white while mixing in the oatmeal. Oh, and I use more like 2 cups of whey. I don't know exactly what this does to the nutrition but, if I had to guess I would say - more protein, fewer carbs. They actually look like proper protein bars!! :D
 
NOt a bar, but most definately a weight gainer:

The Orgasmatron: Ed, Edchap
Ingredients;

80g (1 cup) rolled oats

1 large banana
2 scoops Optimum Nutrition 100% whey, chocolate flavour
1 tablespoon honey
1.5 cups 2% fat milk3) Preparation;
Put 2 scoops of ON chocolate whey into the shaker bottle (must go in first) Add 80g of oats
Chop up the large banana into small slices and add to the shaker bottle
Add a tablespoon of honey
Pour in the 1.5 cups of milk
The trick is NOT to blend this, add the ingredients into the shaker bottle, put the cap on, and shake it, this means that the ingredients mix but the oats and banana slices remain relatively in tact.

Once the ingredients are all mixed up, add water until you reach the desired consistency. Once you’re happy that the shake is mixed and has enough water simply drink the sweet, chocolate, milky liquid. Once you’ve drunk the liquid get a spoon and eat the rest like a cereal.

Yeah, everyone I know has freaked out about the numbers on it, but those who've tried it, liked it.

Hmm relatively nice numbers for carbs and protein, low on fat, sounds good to me!
