PEANUT BUTTER & OATS
16 oz. natural peanut butter
protein powder (I used 2 packets of vanilla Met-RX)
raw oats
skim milk or other liquid
Protein Bar Instructions:
1. I put the peanut butter in the microwave to melt.
2. Added the Met-rx and stirred
3. Added oats to thicken
4. Added the milk so that I could get more protein powder in there.
5. Let it sit overnight to set (or eat immediately for a gooeyer bar).
6. You could add MCT oil, raisins, powdered egg white, dry milk, flax seeds, nuts, or whatever. I'm still experimenting, but it's pretty good.
Nutritional/Other Info:
The whole batch has 200 grams of protein and 3300 calories, not including the skim milk and oats. If you divide it into ten servings, that's a pretty large, filling serving at 20 grams of protein, 330 calories. (That's about as much protein as women can absorb at one time, so the count is pretty good for women.) The recipe could use some tweaking. With the addition of more liquid and/or less oats, one could probably get more protein powder in there. This would give more protein per calorie, and more servings per batch. You could also pour the oil off the top of the oatmeal and substitute MCT. Wouldn't change the count, but it would be a better oil.
