So well I recently posted if someone could help me get my hands on recipes for protein bars. So I was helped in that case (thanks everyone!). Then I found a good recipe, and I fine tuned it to my needs. Then I tried it tonight, but it doesn't seem to work out.
Here the recipe:
For Cutting:
Combine in Large Mixing Bowl
8 Scoops Whey (Vanilla is very good)
3 Cups Oats
1 Package Sugar Free Fat Free Pudding (Any flavor is good)
2 Cups Skim Milk
Mix until a sticky batter is formed (may take a few minutes)
use a large spoon to spread out the mix into the bottom of a Pam-sprayed glass or metal cooking tray (spread until even)
put in the fridge overnight and cut into 8 equal bars that yield:
3g fat
28g carbs
29g protein
257 calories
These bars taste amazing, and are perfect for: breakfast, pre OR postworkout.
I followed the recipe step by step, but it doesn’t seem, that the stuff is getting anyway near “hard enough” to cut and make bars out of. Can someone help me here please?

i just tried something out this morning: I just put the whole thing into the oven at about 300F. look slike it really worked and I have really good bars.
Low-Carb Metabolic Drive - chocolate
1% Milk
Oats
Smart Balance Peanut Butter (Has extra omega 3 at the price of some trace amounts of molasses) I like it because it’s less oily.
Unsweetened shredded coconut
Mix together, spread in a glass cooking dish, and chill overnight, then cut into bars. Comes out like sort of a chocolate peanutbutter fudge. The coconut helps hold it together and provides a great flavor and texture. The main problem is trying not to eat too much since it tastes so good.

could I use yogurt instead of pudding? if it will i’m gonna do it tonight.
would you be able to taste the peanut butter…curious because I’m using berry flavored whey[/quote]
i haven’t tried it with yoghurt, and I don’t think it’ll work, since pudding is different than yoghurt. yoghurt probably can’t take the heat of the oven like pudding can.
i don’t know. would be new to me. anyone ?[/quote]
It denatures the protein which makes it faster to be absorbed. This may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the timing and purpose of why you’re eating it.

if it is faster absorbed it should be a good thing, don’t you think? since fast protein aborbation after or before a workout is nice its a good think?!
walnuts
almonds
chocolate protein powder of choice
egg whites (for baking reasons stick with whites)
use like 3 cups of nuts (1.5 of walnuts and 1.5 of almonds), 1 cup of powder, 1 cup of whites … mix the powder with the eggs first, then add the nuts … bake at 350 for about 25 minutes … I usually take peanut butter and top the bars or spread the mixture thin in the baking sheet and make like a sandwich with the peanut butter in the middle … tastes great

At that time, yes it would be a bonus. Breakfast or peri/post workout should be fast, pretty much all other times you want slow, especially right before bed.
