Protein Bar Recipe

If you have ever talked to me , been trained by me
or read ANY of my emails you know that I believe
Protein intake is the Most Important aspect of
Performance Nutrition!!

Here's a great little way to boost your Protein intake
and get your sweet tooth fix in too.

Ingredients

2/3 cup flax meal
2 scoops NeoGenixx Whey Fusion Protein
4 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Water
Stevia, to taste (approx: 2tsp)

Blend ingredients together in a bowl until it becomes
a blob of dough. It will be somewhat sticky.

Place the sticky dough into a small casserole or baking
pan and smooth out into a flat level surface.

Then put in the refrigerator to cool or you can freeze them if you prefer.

Once cooled or frozen you can cut them up into bars.

Makes approximately (4) 2in x 4in bars.

Nutrition Data per bar:

Calories: 205
Protein: 18 gms
Carbs: 7 gms
Fat: 11 gms

If you would like a lower calorie bar and maybe less of
a peanut butter taste you can modify the ingredients
by using 2.5 scoops of NeoGenixx Whey Fusion Protein powder,
2 Tbsp natural peanut butter, 1/3 cup of water and 2tsp of Stevia.

This will lower the calories per bar by approximately
35 calories, 3 less grams of fat, 1 less gram of carbs
and 1 extra gram of protein.

This recipe is also rich not only in natural monounstaturated
fats that can help lower total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol
,plus raise HDL (good) cholesterol, but rich in Omega 3 fats
because of the flax meal and Omega 3 fats that flax meal provides.

You will consume about 2.5 gms of Omega 3 fats per bar.

Work Hard - Eat Lots of Protein - Become the Dominant Animal in The Pack!!
