low fat cheap protein bar recipe You can make tasty, healthy protein bars that are much cheaper than the commercial ones.

This recipe makes an absolutely DELICIOUS protein bar.

High in Carbs
Low in Fat

This can be consumed as part of a 40/30/30 bodybuilding diet or on the carb-up portion of a carb-cycling diet.

It won’t take you more than 5 minutes to make and you probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen right now.

How To Make A Protein Bar

The ingredients are simple:

40 grams Rolled Oats
35 grams Whey Protein (Chocolate is great for this recipe)
20 ml Honey or ‘Set’ Honey
20 ml Water

Instructions

(1) Add your oats and whey into a bowl and mix together by hand.

(2) If using ‘set’ honey, put into the microwave for 30 seconds to soften

(3) Drizzle honey onto oats and whey

(4) Add water to the mixture

(5) Get your hands in there and mix together thoroughly

(6) Add more water if necessary but you want to keep this from going to gooey

(7) Now just shape it into bar form and either eat straight away or refrigerate for an hour or so to harden.

Most commercial protein bars supply around 20 grams of protein and are loaded with sugar. This bar packs in around 35 grams of protein and it won’t cost you nearly as much. Did I tell you it was GORGEOUS!

Enjoy It Guys!

I used vanilla Allmax Isoflex protein powder and also added 20ml of Kraft natural peanut butter to the recipe. Obviously adds some extra calories etc, but tastes great!

Thanks
