Making your own protein bar is easy, and is considerably less expensive than the price you pay in store. Bars like these make excellent snacks and can also be used as a quick meal...

- 2 large, ripe bananas

- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

- 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

- 3 large raw egg whites

- 4 oz. nonfat milk

- 2 1/2 c. (200 g) old-fashioned rolled oats

- 1/3 c. Splenda

- 1 tbsp. olive oil

- 60 g chocolate Designer Whey (or equivalent brand/flavor)

Mix ingredients in a large bowl. Pour into non-stick cake pan. Bake at 300°F for 25 minutes or until firm. Let cool slightly before cutting. We have made these into 8 small bars, but you could easily make into 4 larger ones, with double the protein (e.g., 23 g protein per bar).

If you don’t want the fat replace the oil with unsweetened applesauce. It will taste just as good and still retain the moist but firm texture.
