Protein Bar Recipie

Spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Combine dry ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix well. Add peanut butter and mix - the mixture will be crumbly and dry. Add water & vanilla. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, everything until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky. Spread dough into pan using a clean wooden spoon or spatula that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Refrigerate a few hours (or freeze for an hour) and cut into 9 squares. Wrap bars individually (use sandwich bags or plastic wrap) or store in covered container between sheets of wax paper.

princesslodgey Posts: 1,748 Joined: 2004/02/21	2004/10/06, 05:51 AM Well, I tried the recipie last night...... Are you sure this is a recipie, and not a forearm workout, Justin? Admittedly I pre-exhausted myself with my arms/shoulders split yesterday, but I was really struggling to mix in the water, and actually achieved failure in my brachioradialis! Foolishly, I had just scribbled down the ingredients, and hadn't written down the bit about maybe needing extra water, I shall do this the next time :) They smell great, but due to me cutting at the moment I have not tried them yet, I have that to look forward to tonight.
