==========================================
STRAWBERRY & BANANA MEAL REPLACEMENT BARS
Makes 6 bars
1 cup raw oatmeal
5 scoops of strawberry protein powder ( 90g of protein)
1/4 cup fat free cream cheese
1/2 cup non fat dry milk powder
2 egg whites
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 bananas, mashed
2 tsp. canola oil (this is the secret to moist bars instead of the traditional dry bar)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9x9 square pan with cooking spray & set aside. In a med.ium bowl combine oatmeal, Protein powder & dry milk. Set aside. In another bowl beat together with an electric hand mixer, cream cheese, egg whites, bananas, water & oil. Add the oat mixture & continue to beat until the two are combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan & bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

DESIGNER PROTEIN BARS
7 scoops Designer Protein (GNC), Chocolate flavor (2 1/3 cups)
122.5 P, 10.5C
1/2 cup melted butter
4 oz cream cheese, 8P, 4C
1/2 cup walnuts, 10P, 5C
**note: these are not very sweet, so add some Splenda (about a cup) or other
sweetener to your taste if you want them sweet. P= protein; C=carb. Melt
butter and cream cheese. Mix in the protein powder. This will be very stiff.
Stir in the walnuts. Press in bread pan, refrigerate, cut into 8 servings,
wrap individually and store in refrig. (**helps to spray hands with Pam and
I also spray the pan.)
I use a 7 cup shallow container instead of the bread pan, spray with pam,
chill, cut into bars about 1 1/4" wide by 2 1/2 to 3" long and approx. 1/2"
thick. I get more than 8 and have not figured the carb count for each bar.
They are plenty big and very filling. I also sometimes use 2 oz of
sunflower seeds (6 carbs) or chopped pecans (my personal favorite) instead
of the walnuts. I spray my container and hands with Pam to prevent possible
sticking. I chill the whole recipe, cut into bars, place on a tray and quick
feeze, then put the bars into individual zip lock bags and store in the
freezer.
**Note: Since they contain no artificial preservatives, they will not store
well at room temperature for more than a day or two. The bars thaw very fast
when I'm ready to eat and actually are good partly frozen too. I have
experimented with plain Designer Protein Powder and added Maple flavoring
and walnuts and they were very good. Carb count for the original recipe of 8
bars: total Protein 140.5, Protein per bar 17.5, Total carbs 19.5, carbs per
bar (at 8 bars) 2.43.
**Note: I have also used plain whey protein, and added some DaVinci syrup
for flavor. This reduces the total carb count. If you like soy protein
isolate, you could try that too. I don't like the taste of soy that well.
