Eating snacks during the day can help control hunger levels preventing overeating at meal times or later in the day.
Making sure to eat small amounts during the day (every 3-4 hours). Just like a machine we need to fuel our bodies in order for them to burn/run efficiently.
Try these homemade protein bars as snacks or for a quick breakfast on the go. Be creative and mix up the recipe a bit. Let me know what you think and what new recipes you developed.
Homemade Protein Bar Recipe:
3 Cups Oatmeal ( Any variety, I used an apple cinnamon one that was good)
1/2 Cup Natural Peanut butter (Look for a PB without hydrogenated oils)
1 cup Skim Milk
4 Scoops Protein Powder (Whey protein is always a good choice)
Dash of cinnamon
Mix until a sticky batter is formed (may take a few minutes)
Spread into the bottom of a Pam-sprayed glass or metal cooking tray (spread until even)
Top/drizzle with sweetener of choice (stevia, agave, honey)
Refrigerate overnight and cut into bars
ENJOY!!!!
These look awesome Kristi. I can't wait to try the recipe.
