Best Protein Bar & Best Protein Bars Recipes

Crispy Peanut Butter Protein Bars

This recipe mimics Peanut Butter Cliff Bars.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup BulkFoodsDirect.com Whey Protein Isolate

  • 2 cups crunchy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup honey
  • mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:

In food processor, process oatmeal, rice cereal, coconut, and protein powder until mixture becomes coarse meal (if some of the ingredients are still whole, that’s fine – don’t keep processing and make a powder). Transfer to large mixing bowl. Stir in protein powder. Set aside.

Either on the stove top on low heat or in the microwave heat the peanut butter, butter, and honey. Add peanut butter mixture to dry ingredients just until fully combined.

Pat mixture firmly into a well greased 9” x 13” glass pan; let cool complete for 2-4 hours. Cut into bars and individually wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap or store in air tight container.

Homemade Low-Carb Chocolate Bars

These are quite rich and creamy chocolate bars that melt in your mouth. No glycerine or maltitol, no hidden carbs.

Ingredients:
  • 3 Tbsp. BulkFoodsDirect.com Wholesale Whey Protein
  • 3 Tbsp. Soy Protein
  • 1 square bakers unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 Tbsp. psyllium husks
  • 1 Tbsp. unsweetened coconut or almond meal
  • 1 Tbsp. SugarTwin brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Splenda
  • 5 drops Stevia
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1 Tbsp. peanut butter
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. mint extract (optional)
  • 1/4 cup crushed pecans (optional)
Directions:

In a microwave-safe plastic dish, microwave the chocolate square for 1 minute on high. It should almost be melted or half-way through. Add peanut butter on top and microwave for 1 minute on high. Add cream and microwave for 1.5 minutes on high (make sure the cream starts boiling, it has to be hot, or the bars will become powdery).

Sprinkle the psyllium husks first on the hot mixture, this helps solidify the bars. Add the rest of the ingredients on top. Use a hand mixer to mix the entire mixture until uniform. This will be a hard mixture and may get stuck inside the mixers, just scoop it up with a spoon.

Use a square non-stick plastic plate (I use the top of a ziploc disposable cover), about 5×5 inches, but any non-stick surface should do. Spread the mixture on top of it, and press with the bottom of a spoon to make it evenly spread.

Freeze for an hour, and then place in the fridge until ready to use. I cut it into 4 bars.

Note: If you don’t have all the above sweeteners, use any sweetener you have to taste. Mixing different sweeteners intensifies the sweetening effect, and requires a lesser amount of the sweetener.
