a non-disastor in the kitchen!

Ok, so I am usually not super excited about food, as I am generally a VERY bland eater.  I don't like a lot of spice, I like my protein, my veggie, and (sometimes) my rice.  Sounds fun right??  Luckily, I'm a big veggie lover otherwise I would get very bored very quickly.  Well in my new, eat 6 times a day life...I know, all I do is eat...well, and pee because I drink water ALL day...tmi?? :)  So, buying things like protein powder, protein bars, etc gets VERY expensive.  Genius idea...make my own protein bars!  OK!  So I did...last night.  I just enjoyed my first one, and I'm not gonna lie it's kind of awesome!  And a LOT less carbs than the ones I was buying before.  Now, I know exactly what's in it too!  hooray!

Ingredients

-4 scoops chocolate protein powder -2/3 cup flax seed meal -4 tbsp natural peanut butter -1/4 cup water -honey to taste

Directions

-makes 4 servings

-mix all ingredients in a large bowl and stir. At first it may not seem like it is enough water, but keep stirring and it will eventually become a sticky blob of dough. Add 1 tbsp of water at a time if needed.


-divide mixture into 4 equal portions and place in separate pieces of plastic wrap placing them into bars. It's easier to shape them by lying plastic wrap on one side of a small casserole dish, pressing the dough into the natural shape of the dish.


-store the bars in fridge or freezer. Once solid, enjoy.

I will enjoy, thank you!
