Healthy Hero Bars
TGIF Friday January 21, 2011
Just a reminder to enter my GIVEAWAY!
I saw this recipe on my Oxygen Women's Fitness newsletter & had to share cause it sounded yummy to me & a nice snack or "to take with you mini meal". I have not tried it but looks easy to modify if you want to do that with flavors and/or ingredients. The pic above is NOT these bars. There was no pic but I thought these looked good & maybe YOU want to add a little shredded coconut or even some nuts or dried fruit. Remember whatever you do to change this up, the stats at the end will change.

After my blechy experience buying a premade protein bar this morning I think I'll definitely try ane make these. They look yummy and WAY better than the chocolate filled junk I tried.
Seeing as I'm allergic to OJ, do you figure they'd taste OK with apple juice instead?

I think any juice you like should be fine. I have a couple recipes on my blog for homemade protein bars & protein cookies if you search under recipes....

I love just about anything chocolate!

Those bars look good! I would probably sub mashed banana for the sugar free syrup since I don't do SF. Or maybe pureed dates!
I also want to try subbing the protein powder with peanut flour (since it is my new obsession!).

Thx Lori! I was going to specifically ask about the SF syrup & what to replace it with & love the suggestion of the PB flour since I have that in the house too! You are great!!! I will wait for your test on the PB flour though!

These look tasty. I'm headed out of town later this week, and these might be a nice little take-a-long snack in case the hotel doesn't have anything decent for breakfast. Thanks, Jody.

When I hungry I go directly for the chips or anything that is easy to grab. This usually means unhealthy. I am definitely going to try this. Thanks for sharing.
