going to keep this as short as possible because you basically only need to know the variables.
the requirements to make a good protein bar are as follows.
coconut rasp with white chocolate (the chocolate is inside, as well as the coating), these are made with coconut oil and coconut milk.
without coating.
buckwheat and milk chocolate.
puffed rice + marshmellows + strawberry flavoring.
for these I blended dried banana chips, and mixed them with dried gojiberries and chia seeds.
chocolate caramel and puffed rice.
muesli white chocolate and currants.
also currently I've got bars made from those haribo bananas mixed with puffed rice.
the amount you use of each of the ingredients is personal preference for the most part, after you add the whey it should have a mortar like consistency, use an electric mixer to blend it with the filler with the dough hooks.
almost all of these bars have around 7 to 20 grams of protein.
the requirements to make a good protein bar are as follows.
- fat, any oil or butter will work, without this the bar will be dry.
- liquid, milk works, yoghurt also works, skim milk also works, water probably works too but I haven't tested that, you need this to dissolve the protein powder.
- sugar, you can use any candy you want for this, this will also be the flavoring so choose wisely.
- protein powder, whey works best, casein probably works too but you'll be able to use less because it absorbs far more moisture.
- filler, pretty much anything works for this, and this is largely what controls the volume of the bar and the calories it holds, for lower calorie options you want something airy like puffed rice or buckwheat which has a lot of volume, muesli works, rasped coconut works, just about any cereal will work like cornflakes.
