Need assist calc macros for homemade protein bar
Hello,
I just started making protein bars at home. They're simple and easy, but I am not sure what the macros are. I don't usually use the "scoop" when measuring the whey, and I am not sure about the grams/cup ratio . . . bascially, I am clueless.
And maybe you have a similar/better, recipe. I am up for that too! I just love these because I feel like I am cheating eating choc/pb. MMM~
This usually makes about 12 bars - 3 x 2 I'd say - maybe smaller.
MM is VERY sweet (for me anyway), too sweet to drink, so I added it in. I figured I have it, might as well use it.
1cup ON choc whey - 1scoop/32g 180cals PCF = 24/4/1.5
1/4c Muscle Milk Lite - 2scoop/70g 195cals PCF = 25/11/6
1c natty pb - 2Tbsn 180cals PCF = 7/8/15
1c oats
10tbsn honey
water as needed for consistency
Thanks!

Taste great!
They are very peanut buttery, but you can taste the chocolate too. It's a nice indulgence for me . . . my own little "dessert."
I added a bit too much water the last time, so I have to keep them in the fridge. But, the batch before turned out great. I squirted just a touch of honey on the top and spread it out, like a glaze. I kept those in a baggie in my desk all day and they were fine.
This last batch I made w/honeypb (JustinsNutButter.com) It actually had less cals/fat than the classic version. I think that may have added a bit more sweetness too.
Any idea how these might break down? I've been accounting for the pb/oats/honey in fit day, or at least trying to. I am just not sure about the whey.
