  • Bulk powders vegan protein bar, yuck! Like eating chocolate sawdust. Sorry planet... back to my whey ones again next time.

  • The only 'good' bar I've found is Vive. Minimal artificial shit, too.
    But you should not be using the bars in any case as they predominantly seem to contain a 'fibre' which is actually a relatively easily digested long chain starch, alongside all that sweetener crap.
    Its way better just to have a high protein yog instead.
    When I got lean- I cut them out of my diet and the difference was almost absurd...

    I'm going back to the absurd diet for 1 month now, and we'll see what I can acheive.

    Sadly- I put the weight back on and have been essentially on a bulk pattern recently.

  • So I now have a recipe for you to try if you should wish.
    Makes a large amount of 'clean' protein bars- you decide sizing, but calories based on what I have here.
    Ingredients:
    2 x large bananas (350g with skin on) [175 calories, ish, 50g carbs]
    350g smooth peanut butter (Excess oil removed from initial opening of pot- reserved for cooking ftw) [2100 cal, 130g Fat, 35g Carb, 105g protein]
    40g Coconut Oil [40g fat, 360cal]
    150g Vegan Protein without artificial sweeteners (again I use Vive or Amazing Grass- vive chocolate works best) [ 525 cal, 110g protein]
    2 egg or chia replacement [120 cal, 6g fat, 6g protein, 10g carb -ish]
    Cinnamon x lots.
    Vanilla extract
    Pinch of salt
    (optional: 1 desertspoon of cocoa powder).
    Mush bananas, mix everything together. You want a batter thats not dry nor wet, kinda like gingerbread mix.
    Divided into Tablespoon cookie size:
    Bake at fan 17o for 8-10mins on a lightly sprayed baking sheet/ foil. Let cool.
    they should hold together and pop off the pan easy.
    Total macros: (roughly and rounded up
    2900 cal. 100g Carbs. 180g Fat. 220g protein.
    I tend to make 25-30 little tiny cookies:
    120 cals, 10g Protein, 7g Fat, 4g Carb.
    Divide it how you like, I think I could reduce the PB- swapped for almond/coconut milk- and will try in the next batch and post results.
