whats up fellow meat heads,
you guys ever try and make your own protein bars instead of buying those expensive, overly sugary ones from the store?
i’ve seen a few recipes here and there, but was hoping if someone had some of their own personal experience, and could share.
thats all.

ive seen a bunch or recipies, but ive never tried to make anything. i usually only consume those bars when bulking anyways, so i dont care about the sugar.
TOPS had Metrx bars 3 for $5 on sale last week, not sure if the sale is still going.

Yeah. I’ve seen them too, if you google the topic you’ll find a million recipes. I was just hoping someone knew of one that wasn’t too shitty.
I think using natty peanut butter and honey is my preference, or hope it to be

Dude I did some interval sprinting this morning and barfed up some water in the parking lot :tup:

I had to edit for you. 😃
ALL processed bars/MRPs are that way though. :shrug: Maybe Clif’s are the best of them all… hell Wegmans has a huge wall full of different flavors. Not that Wegmans is the be-all/end-all of nutrition. But they sure do have a lot of them, so someone must be buying them.

This is the way I look at it -
I don’t drink anything sweet - eat anything sweet - I’ll be ok with eating one of these bad boys when I need to.

No one is saying you shouldn’t eat them, haha. They have their place, and if I didn’t have the sugar beef with them, I’d have the price problem to overcome.
I have some time to cook, whereas others may not, so I’m trying a cheaper / potentially healthier alternative.

More sugar than protein? Isnt much of a protein bar.
