Sesame-Almond Protein Bars
Source of Recipe
unknown
List of Ingredients
1/4 c. cream cheese (2 carbs/4 protein)
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. tahini, from roasted sesame seeds (12 carbs/10 protein/5.6
fiber)
1/4 t pure stevia powder
1 t vanilla extract
1/4 t almond extract
1 ¼ c. Twinlab VegeFuel (isolated soy protein)(0 carbs/200
protein)
1/3 c. Naturade N-R-G vanilla protein powder (3 carbs/32 protein)
1/2 c. DaVinci Vanilla Syrup w/ Splenda
2 T. DaVinci Maple Syrup w/ Splenda
2 ounces finely chopped almonds (12 carbs/12 protein/7 fiber)
Recipe
Melt cream cheese and butter, mix in tahini, stevia, and extracts.
Mix
in protein powders. Add syrups and mix well. Mix in chopped almonds.
May need to add more or less syrup to get texture you like. Place in
9x9 square pan & put in refrigerator until firm.
Cut into 12 bars (or size you want). I store mine in freezer and eat
frozen. My co-worker stores in fridge because he likes his softer.
These are very flexible. I think you can use whatever kind of protein
powder you want, and could use any kind of artificial sweetener you
wanted in greater or lesser degrees, or any flavor of syrup or
extract. For example, I've made with DaVinci's macadamia syrup and
added chopped roasted macadamia nuts, and with Davinci's butter rum
syrup and added roasted pecans. I also made w/ 2/3
VegeFuel and 1/3 Naturade N-R-G, added a higher proportion of vanilla
syrup, plus vanilla, coconut, and almond extracts, and a little
Stevia
powder, and whipped it up, and it was close enough to fudge for my
taste. For 12 bars: 2.4 grams carbs per bar (1.4 carbs per bar if
subtract fiber) and 21.5 grams protein
