You don’t have to resort to THIS to get your protein!
If you’re looking for a healthy alternative for some of the high-sugar granola bars out there, this recipe is a perfect choice. Packed with whole grain oats, raisins, a good dose of protein, and a small amount of olive oil to get your healthy fats in, it’s a great snack for when you hit that low during the mid-afternoon.
Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats
8 scoops vanilla protein powder
1 cup raisins
1 and 1/3 cups unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup skim milk
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp maple extract
1/3 cup artificial sweetener
First blend one cup of the rolled oats until fine. Next, add the remaining oats along with the raisins, protein powder, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt. Once combined, add in the applesauce, milk, vanilla extract, and oil.
Next, cut out 8 squares of aluminum foil and spoon equal amounts of the mixture onto each square, pressing to form into a bar shape. From there, roll the edges of the foil inwards slightly and place them in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
