Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Jenni, have you and David found anything that was to your liking? I found a few recipes on a website and one from someone who says the ones she made weren't bad. I will post them below. Sounds like David is getting his system working. I've had my weight training system (what lifting exercises, how many reps, how many sets etc.) for a few months now and I'm just starting on the food plan (when to eat protein and carbs). I haven't had time to weighttrain this week but Friday is always a must (or else I get pissy). I usually try to workout twice a week (you have to let your muscles rest properly for a day or two for full potential develpment) but I've only trained once last week. Argh! Good luck to the two of you. Here are the recipes (just in case these weren't the ones that you found)... ( " easy and not so bad " - recipe poster) Grape Nuts Bars Ingredients: 4 cups Grape Nuts cereal 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/2 cup tahini 1 cup maple syrup wheat germ (optional) Directions: Mix together the peanut butter and tahini until well blended. Add the maple syrup and heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Add the Grape Nuts and mix thoroughly. Spread evenly in a lightly oiled 13 " x 9 " pan. Sprinkle wheat germ on top if desired. Chill until firm and cut into bars. Variation: Instead of the tahini, use another 1/2 cup peanut butter. I probably would've done this myself, but I had some tahini that I wanted to get rid of :-) ---- (4 votes - ended up 3 out of 5 stars) High Protein Oatmeal Bars Ingredients (use vegan versions): - 3 1/2 cups oats (quick or old fashioned) - 1 1/2 cups powdered soymilk<http://www.nexternal.com/shared/affiliates/?CS=vegane & AID=9 & Target=http:\ //www.nexternal.com/vegane/%3FTarget=products.asp%26RowID=920> - 4 scoops vanilla soy protein - vegan equivalent of two eggs - 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce - 1/4 cup water - 1 teaspoon vanilla - 1 cup sugar-free vegan maple syrup (any vegan sweetener will do) Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together oats, soy milk and soy protein. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour wet ingredients over dry and mix with a wooden spoon until uniformly moist. The batter will be very thick like stiff cookie dough. Dump into a 9X12 baking pan that has been greased with non-stick cooking spray (or marg, whatever you have) and spread into an even layer. The dough will be stiff and hard to work with but effort will pay off Bake in oven for 15 minutes or so, or until lightly brown around the edges. The dough will not change shape at all during the baking process. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into 10 individual bars. Wrap each bar individually and store in the refrigerator for a quick snack anytime. Note: This is a basic recipe that can easily be altered. They are not sweet so dried fruit and nuts will turn these into a sweet treat. If you wish to increase the protein content, just replace some of the soy milk with equal amounts of soy protein. Additional water may be needed. The finished product should be very chewy and thick like a dense brownie. They are very satisfying and very healthy. Great for athletes. Enjoy! Approximate nutritional info (per bar): 175 cal, 3 grams fat, 27 carbs(3 grams vegan sugar), 4 grams fiber, 11 grams protein Serves: 10 Preparation time: 20-25 mins ---- (8 votes - ended up being 4 out of 5 stars) Protein Bars Ingredients (use vegan versions): - 3 tablespoon Peanut butter - 2 tablespoon vegan maple syrup - 4 tablespoon Dark vegan brown sugar<http://www.nexternal.com/shared/affiliates/?CS=vegane & AID=9 & Target=http://\ www.nexternal.com/vegane/%3FTarget=products.asp%26RowID=836> - 3 tablespoon ground soy nuts - 12 tablespoon vegan soymilk<http://www.nexternal.com/shared/affiliates/?CS=vegane & AID=9 & Target=http:\ //www.nexternal.com/vegane/%3FTarget=products.asp%26RowID=920> - 1 tablespoon cocoa powder - 3 tablespoon Flax seed meal - 3 tablespoon oatmeal - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon - 1 teaspoon Vitamin cup powder - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Directions: Heat the soy milk, peanut butter, maple syrup and brown vegan sugar in a small pan on the stovetop. Slowly add the remaining ingredients into the pan. Pour the mixture into a shallow 9x6 pan lined with plastic wrap, smooth out the mixture evenly by pressing down with another piece of plastic wrap. Place in the freezer for about one hour. Cut up into small individual bars. Makes about 6 - 10 protein bars. Preparation time: 5 minutes On 9/13/05, Jenni Billings wrote: > > that' would be awesome..
