I make my own protein bars. I eat them as a meal replacement sometimes more so than a snack. They're very filling.

Dry ingredients I mix in a bowl:
2 cups oatmeal
6 scoops whey protein powder (you can use less scoops I just want more protein)

Wet ingredients:
4 tablespoons peanut butter
1/4 cup milk of some kind - I use almond
1/4 dark chocolate chips - I use ghiradelli 60% cacao cause it's healthier
1 individual cup of apple sauce
1/8 cup of honey/agave - I've only used honey

Put all your wet ingredients in a bowl and pop it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds until it's melted and you can mix it all together. Then you mix it into your dry ingredients. It takes a while and seems like it's not wet enough but if you use the exact recipe then it will. You just gotta keep mixing and cutting the mixture until all the protein powder is "in" and not just sitting on top.

Then I take a container and pack my mixture down flat and stick it in the fridge for a few hours to harden. I cut mine into 8 bars and it's about 18 grams of protein from the whey alone and 300 calories maybe? Oh I also throw coconut shavings into mine but you can add whatever you want. It takes me 15 minutes start to finish and I eat one a day so it lasts me just over a week.

Like I said I cut mine into 8 bars so they're maybe an inch thick and 4 inches long give or take so they're not that big but they're very dense. I can eat just one and be full for hours. I like that there's no cooking involved.
