Yummy Chewy Protein

So I am still amazed at what I can and cannot eat after surgery. For example, my husband can (and does) eat a chocolate bar right next to me. I can smell it. I can almost taste and I do not want any. I know!! It is crazy.
For me, it is important to keep some things always ready to go. One is a creamy protein drink, One is a nectar protein drink and last but most important is a protein bar. I have tried many a protein bar over the last 20 years and they just don't really improve with the time. My favorite bar isn't even that great and can be too sweet with all the chunks of chocolate in it. So here is my recipe for making a chewy bar using the only protein powder that I can tolerate at the moment! Syntrax Supplements!!




Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Vita Fiber
1 scoop protein powder (I prefer Syntrax Supplements, because of the absorbability)
2 teaspoons of almond flour

Directions:
Heat the Vita Fiber until it just starts to bubble. Once it bubbles, remove from heat and add almond flour and protein powder. I premix them together in a bowl for more even distribution. The mixture will look dry at first. Transfer the mixture onto a cutting board or kitchen counter, it will be hot to handle. I use ziploc type bags as mittens and knead it into a ball. (I am sure you can dump the mix into the bag and knead it that way instead and save yourself a bag) You can either add extras like nuts and knead again or just shape into your preferred shape.

In the picture above I made the following combinations:
Syntrax Peanut butter cookie with peanuts
Syntrax Perfect Chocolate with hazelnuts
Syntrax Vanilla bean torte with almonds

Oh so good! I now refuse to pay $3 and up for a protein bar when it is this easy to do it myself. I hope you enjoy this recipe and if you modify it or try it out be sure to let me know!
