All right, kids, let's see those ideas and recipes for making the most delicious and/or healthy protein bars you've got!
The directions on the Better Protein Bars are pretty straight forward, simple, and make amazing tasting protein bars. However, there are still different ways we can all whip these up to meet specific macro requirements or different taste bud preferences, too.
The only flavor I've still tried (because I love it so much lol) is the sour apple. I just whipped up another batch last night, and let me tell you what I did different from previous times. I previously only used half the amount of honey that is called for in order to cut down the sugar content a bit. However, while my body is in a state of being screwed up (lol), I'm going to enjoy taste a little more, so I went with the full 3/4 Cup of honey. I added a bit more water, too - probably double the amount called for. After I got it mixed up in the bowl to a texture I liked (using a butter knife), I had a couple bites just to make sure it tasted up to par (delicious) and then, rather than scoop it into the square container I use to cut the bars up, I left it in the bowl and stuck it in the refrigerator. Yep, I'm just going to munch on a bit here and there that way lol. And it's super delicious.
What I've found amazing in the past, too, is using just a bit of sugar free or fat free (your call) Cool Whip to dip the protein bars in afterward - gives an amazing synergistic taste with the sour apple.
I've got some original peanut butter that I'll fix over the weekend. I may experiment with some other options when making them.
I've seen some great ideas in other threads discussing using agents to thicken, cut down on calories, etc. Let's see those all here - in one location for users to make the most out of their Better Protein Bars :yumyum:
