This recipe looks amazing in the photos on Sin or Slim. There are also several positive comments there, so I’m not quite sure what went wrong with mine.
It may have been my poor culinary skills again, or perhaps it was the whey powder I used. Whatever it was, mine turned out to be a great big sticky mess. I could hardly shape the mixture into protein bar shapes, and even after freezing the bars they were still difficult to eat without getting them everywhere.
The taste was quite good though, so I’m disappointed I couldn’t get the texture right. I keep meaning to try making them again with a different whey powder but just haven’t gotten there yet.
Ingredients:
- 1 scoop (17 g or 0.6 oz) of chocolate whey powder (I used Horleys)
- 2 Tbsp of coconut milk
- 2 Tbsp of peanut butter
Recipe:
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
- Form the mixture into two rectangular protein bar shapes on wax paper.
- Cover with another sheet of wax paper and stick in the fridge for about 2 hours.
- Take out and enjoy.
