I am a sucker for berry smoothie. If on restricted eating plan I will have whey and frozen berries smoothie.Just chuck slightly thawed mixed berries in blender and add whey and tadda!! Then I mix some flax oil in. If I am allowed I make it into desert..I just add yogurt or cottage cheese

protein bars:
Meal Replacement Bars (Cutting)
Combine in Large Mixing Bowl
8 Scoops Whey (Vanilla is very good)
3 Cups Oats
1 Package Sugar Free Fat Free Pudding (Any flavor is good)
2 Cups Skim Milk
Mix until a sticky batter is formed (may take a few minutes)
use a large spoon to spread out the mix into the bottom of a Pam-sprayed glass or metal cooking tray (spread until even)
put in the fridge overnight and cut into 8 equal bars that yield:
3g fat
28g carbs
29g protein
257 calories
These bars taste amazing, and are perfect for: breakfast, pre OR postworkout
Low Fat "Majmum" Protein bar
ingredients:
8 oz fat free cream cheese
4 scoops protein powder ( i use chocolate)
3 cups whole oats
1/2 cup splenda
Dash of cinnamon ( to taste)
Combine splenda, cream cheese, protein, and cinnamon in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer on high til its smooth.
add the oats and mix with the mixer until you have a fairly homogeneous mixture.
note if it is too thick add a 1/4 cup of milk or water
spray an 8x8 pan with PAM. spread the mixture in the pan. sprinkle some additional splenda on top and place in the fridge for an hour.
I cut mine into ten bars for a breakdown of
154 cals, 17.8g carb, 15g protein, 1.8 g fat
Homemade Protein Bar recipe - 8 servings
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 1/2 cup protein powder
1/4 cup natural peanut butter (NO SUGAR ADDED--fat drained)*
1 cup skim milk powder
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and add enough water to make a stiff dough
--you will have to get your hands dirty to mix it up; it's sticky.
Spray an 8x8 inch cake pan with Pam and press in dough evenly.
Refrigerate a few hours to harden, then cut into 8 - 12 bars, depending on requirements.
Wrap bars in plastic wrap & store in fridge.
You can adjust to your portion needs by cutting into larger or smaller bars.
I cut mine into 8 bars and that works out to approx:
28.5g protein
22.5g carbs
6g fat
245 calories
