Or could I use Quest protein powder? That’s the only one I have at home right now.

Unfortunately I don’t think they would keep that long unfridgerated. I don’t think they’d even last that long in the fridge either. Would have to be frozen.

I’m trying to find some good bars that I can send overseas to my beloved.

I usually eat mine right out of the freezer…maybe that’s why. Or perhaps your whey protein is reacting a bit different. I’d just add slightly less liquid next time.

The weight per scoop is 30 grams.

Yes, they are fine for kids to eat. They won’t need a whole one. Half would be sufficient protein for them.

I’m trying to find something for my kids to have as a snack that is good for them.

Thanks for the quick reply 🙂

Probably 2 packets 🙂

Thanks!

Your modifications sound great! I typically double this recipe, or even triple 🙂 I’ve also used different flavors of protein, and that works well to switch it up too.

I used fresh cherries in place of the raisins because when I first glanced at the post I thought it read “Cherry Protein Bars” and I couldn’t get that out of my mind LOL. I put some chopped chocolate into the bars, then melted the rest w/a bit of coconut oil and put it over the top. Skipped the stevia but used regular honey so it was still plenty sweet. I could just eat it out of the bowl, or even roll them into little balls to snack on throughout the day. I think I’m going to end up making these a few times a week for the family!

Mine are a tad soft, but I used agave instead of honey so that might be why. They were huge, so I made twelve snack sized bars instead of 6. I used carob chips and cranberries. Super yum. Might throw I’m some unsweetened coconut flakes next time, and there WILL be a next time! 😉

If you’d like to try PB2, I’d use half and half. It may work with all PB2, but I haven’t tried it. Don’t want to tell you yes, and it turn out horrible.

Was wondering if I can use PB2 here in this recipe or maybe half an half? It doesn’t work too well with cookies without a lot of added fat so perhaps not. Would love some recipes for using up my PB2 LOL. Thanks!

Yes, you could totally use stevia powder. If its a super concentrated one, I’d start with 1/4 tsp (or even 1/8 tsp) and go from there. Doesn’t have to be a specific amount, you’re just sweetening it enough to your liking.

I bought mine online, as I haven’t seen it in stores. I’m in Canada. Not sure if you can find it in stores in the US. If you’re in the US, you can order directly from the Nature’s Hollow website.
