Curiosity/Boredom Creates a good Bar.
Yesterday my only class was cancelled. When free days like that come along, I do what any other nerdy student does, I studied. I spent all day doing various things in various subjects. By 5pm I was sick and tired of looking at notes, chemical structures, and metabolic pathways. On a whim, I decided to attempt to make my own protein bar. I was really sick and tired of taking the smelly old shaker bottle to class with some powder in it, so I need a good portable meal. Being a college student on the meal plan and living in a dormitory, I dont have a lot of ingredients on hand. All I had was some rolled oats, whey, splenda, skim milk, and natural peanut butter. I figured will all of those things, I would be able to make a decent bar that would stick together. After a little playing around, I did it. I made a great tasting protein bar, that is stable at room temperature and is very nutritionally stable. If you want the ingredient measurements and nutritional values, then PM me. The only problem I can think of is that the whey I used might be heat labile. Im investigating further on this one. I’m very happy with my creation though. I have a good meal replacement bar to carry to class.
