I haven't tried to make a protein bar, but I do make healthy home-made breakfast musli. It consists of different nuts, dried fruit, oat-flakes and everything is fried in honey. Healthy and tasty. You should give it a try. Good recipe.

Fructose has a lower GI than other sweeteners because it doesn't cause an insulin release. But fructose is a very damaging sugar--much more so than glucose. It increases triglycerides, increases uric acid (causing hypertension), screws up the liver, etc. The huge rise in fructose consumption over the past coulple of decades is probably the root cause of our obesity problems. Here is a pretty good discussion about the varous sweeteners: http://tinyurl.com/yf9jg26 Honey is about 50/50 glucose/fructose. Agave nectar can be as high as 90+% fructose. Avoid it. The glycemic index is irrelvant. @Mark: It’s nto the Glycemic Index that’s the issue. Fructose has a lower GI than other sweeteners because it doesn’t cause an insulin release.

I don't know where you live but I get the flax seed in a shop called SuperValu (Irish franchise) and Tesco do the agave nectar. @Bas. Honey has a GL of 16 for a tablespoon compared to GL2 for the nectar. To be honest I can't think of a natural alternative. If you're in the US, Walden Farms make zero calorie syrups sweetened with splenda. @Budgie.

Can you think of sth. to replace the Agave Nectar while having a comparable effect (I thought of honey, also for the taste but is this actually a good idea??) Can't get this Agave stuff around here:/ Would be great to get some suggestions how to modify this protein bar. Keep going with this blog! Very inspiring and motivating!!! Hey Marc.
