Protein bar recipes

I was perusing many recipes for homemade protein bars and this one seemed to have very good nutritionals so I thought I'd share. I double-checked them and found that the nutrition info was different than what was listed on the recipe. These are the most accurate as far as I can tell.

The nutrition breakdown:
EACH (1/6) SERVING
248.7 calories
6.5g fat
54.8mg cholesterol
132.7mg sodium
24g carbohydrates
3g sugar
3.5g fiber
24.7g protein

1 Packet Instant Sugar Free Vanilla Pudding (Or chocolate)
1 C. Oatmeal (like Quaker 1-minute)
2 Tbsp. Natural PB
5 Scoops Vanilla Whey (Or chocolate)
3/5-4/5 C. Skim Milk

Mix the dry ingredients together then add the PB. Mix it as much as you can with just the peanut butter. It should end up as a dry mixture with an even distribution of the peanut butter. Slowly add the milk (1/5 cup at a time) until you get a moist mixture. How moist you let it get will depend on how you plan on finishing it somewhere between 3/5 and 4/5 is the sweet spot.

Refrigerate / freeze these and cut and eat them that way.

As some may know, I'm really sticking to a budget, and so a little research shows me that these bars will cost around 50-60 cents each before any discounts or sale prices.

These are good bars due to the whey and nut butter proteins and fat, the low sodium, low sugar, and high fiber compared to most commercially made bars, and a nice split of 24/24 carbs and protein. The carbs are oats, which have a relatively low GI.

I haven't made them yet, but many people attested to them tasting great. If you try a batch, let me know how you liked it!

Here's another one:

• 1 lb of no fat cottage cheese
• 4 tablespoons of natural peanut butter
• 2 cups of whole oats
• 3 scoops of chocolate-flavored pure whey protein powder

Calories = 245

— Trans Fat = 0
Cholesterol = 23 mg
Sodium = 40 mg
Carbs = 25 g
— Fiber = 4 g
— Sugar = 4 g
Protein =27 g
Servings: 6

This one is really protein mush, but it apparently tastes really good. I'd probably opt for the top bar since I already am planning on having cottage cheese regularly, but who knows? It's nice to have the option available.
