I attempted to make some homemade protein bars...I must say that the taste is delightful, but the texture...is goo. I am not sure why they came out so gooey and sticky. I will have to play around with the recipe next time. Instead of cutting these into bars, I rolled them into protein balls and rolled them around in a little flax to make them more manageable. :)
This is the Base Recipe that I used for the bars. I tweaked it a little by using chocolate protein powder, I left out the raisins and mashed up a banana. I wish I could say that is why it was gooey...but it was gooey before the banana. I added some oat bran in hopes it would absorb some of the moisture. No such luck. Maybe I should have added more protein!
I also made a new yummy lunch this afternoon! It's so simply, but man...it tasted really good! It could have been because I was STARVING! I heated up a whole wheat pita (from Trader Joe's) and topped it with 1/2 cup of lowfat cottage cheese, slices of avocado, pepper, and drizzled with EVOO. This was so good! Seriously! The pita was warm and had a little crunch, it just went really well together. I would encourage you to try! :)
