  • Protein bars

    A friend tried to tell me how to do this. he took oatmeal and mixed it thick, layed it down in a pan. Of course a nonstick greased pan, then warmed up peanut butter, creamy but i prefer chunky smoothed it on top of the oatmeal, then mixed protein powder (optimum) with some milk, just enough to make it a thick pudding almost fudge look, smeared that on top of the peanut butter and put it in the oven for a few minutes on like 200-300 degrees somewhere in there. watched it to see how it looked and then removed, cut into sections the size of snickers and syran wrapped them. said they were good. i am going to try when i get the motivation. anything to add go ahead. just thought i would run the idea by a few people.

    Would the protein be broken down by the heat?

      Yes amino acids denature under extreme heat, but have the ability to reconfigure once cooled, so you're fine using the oven for such things.

        sounds like a pretty good idea

          Proteins do break down in heat. However, they do not completely reanneal once cooled or even reanneal correctly. But when you think about the metabolic pathway the proteins are broken down in the GI tract and absorbed in the intestine. In that case you will have some amino acids and proteins in the bar when consumed.

          sounds like a cheap alternative the prot bars that run $1-$2 a bar.
