Protein Bars

What You'll Need

2 cup oats

2 scoops protein powder (I use Labrada Pro-V 60 Vanilla Ice Cream) 

1/3 cup organic brown sugar

1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

3 egg whites

1 tbs sugar-free honey

2 tbs pb2 (mixed to peanut butter form)

1/4 cup water

Instructions

1. Mix oats, protein powder, organic brown sugar, coconut flakes, egg whites, and sugar free honey in mixing bowl and set aside.
2. Follow instructions on the back of the PB2 bottle to turn the powder into the peanut butter consistency and add to the rest of the ingredients in the mixing bowl.
3. Fill your 1/4 measuring cup with water and only add half of it to the other ingredients.
4. Using a fork, mix and mash the ingredients together until they are mixed thoroughly (if it is too thick you can add the rest of the water little by little until it is the consistency you want it) it should feel like a thick paste.
5. Dump contents of bowl into a greased pan & cook on 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. The top should not feel wet/sticky anymore but also not be hard. 
6. Allow to fully cool before cutting into squares. 

I made these in both ball and bar versions. For our purposes the bars are better BUT the balls would be great for children or just to snack on during the day. You can also use whatever kind of protein powder you want. I am sure they would be great with chocolate flavored powder as well!
