I found this recipe for Peanut Butter Protein Bars and thought that they tasted pretty good.
Peanut Butter Protein Bars
Makes 4 bars
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons no-sugar peanut butter
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ teaspoon liquid artificial sweetener
¼ cup Splenda
1 scoop Vanilla Praline Designer Whey protein powder*
Melt peanut butter and butter in microwave or double boiler. Mix in the sweeteners thoroughly. Add protein powder and stir until it forms a ball. (You may need to use clean hands to aid in the thorough mixing.) Roll up in ball and knead a bit; then separate into even portions, shaping as desired.
Refrigerate until firm.
Note: It’s best to use the “scoop” that comes with the package, but in case it’s lost (or you use another brand), this is approximately 1/3 of a cup (I have this measuring at 1/3 cup and it works fine!)
