Get_Swole · Jul 8, 2010

Been taking shakes to work with me etc. for a couple meals throughout the day and i usually sip on bcaa's or a shake just a little at a time throughout the day so im always eating something.

It's hard to find a bar that fits everyone's needs. Most have a lot of Fat and/or Sugar. One I like to keep on hand for emergencies is AST's Vyo-Bar still not perfect but not as bad as some either.

I LOVE NTBM's "better protein bars" its come in powder mixed bag that takes like 5 mine to make and no baking,(need to add the honey and peanutbutter though) was suprised ho easy it was and how well it tasted.
thats whay i use now, each bag is abotu 12 bars with broken down is like $1.25 a bar
I just cut then into 12 and pre wraped each oen in a sandwich bag and keep in fridgs gonna make a now bach tomorrow, gonna try adding in ground flax seed and some rasions

in case you curous heres a discrips from the store about them:
Protein bars are a great idea, but since their conception they have been flawed. High priced, full of sugar, loaded with additives and preservatives, disguised with sugar alcohol, and more often than not they are just a candy bar with added protein. Even the protein in most protein bars on the market is sub par. For decades no one has ever addressed the problems of today’s protein bars. It’s been nothing but more of the same over priced, fancy packed, tasteless bars. Until Now!

Needtobuildmuscle introduces better protein bars.

A high quality protein bar that is 100% natural with no additives, preservatives, corn syrup, or sugar alcohol. No gimmicks or sales tricks, just a fantastic new source of protein and nutrition that puts the power in your hands. Better protein bars are not bars that sit on the store shelves for years; they are bars that you make yourself, when you are ready. So not only are they 100% natural but they are 100% fresh.

Each better protein bar pack comes with all of the dry ingredients you need to make 12 fresh homemade all natural protein bars. What could be better than making your very own fresh protein bars? It’s simple; we took all of the work out of it for you. With the better protein bar pack all you need to do is pour it in a bowl, add in your wet ingredients and mix, that’s it. No long list of ingredients, no thinking, and no baking. In just 2-5 minutes from start to finish and you have 12 fresh, 100% all natural protein bars.
As if all of that wasn’t good enough here at Needtobuildmuscle we go one step further for you, the customer. Here at Needtobuildmuscle we have a mission statement “To provide body builders, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts with products tailored to their needs and designed to their detailed specifications” and we mean it.

We had this in mind when we created the better protein bars. Each protein bar pack comes with an original recipe which is printed on its label. But the magic doesn’t stop there. With a few simple modifications to its original recipe any better protein bar pack can be changed to fit any of your calorie needs or taste bud desires. All of the better protein bar protein packs original recipes, modified recipes, and calorie breakdowns are made simple, and listed for you right here at (needto’s kitchen) The options for the different flavors and variations that you can add in and try are almost LIMITLESS. Not only that, but the original bars have ALSO been made into two NEW pre-packaged flavor varieties that are now available as well, and those are chocolate banana and chocolate raspberry.

If you want bulk pricing on assorted flavors then just buy all one flavor and in the notes to shipper list how much of each flavor you would like. Thank you!!!

very good ones, tasty and 20g of protein as far as i remember.
I'm sticking with synthepure from our sponsor, not as tasty as a bar, but on the highest protein concentration (I think 96%)

Making your own is really inexpensive and easy... plus you get to control all the ingredients for as much (or as little) proteins/carbs/fats as you want!

Mix together all ingredients and drop by tablespoonfuls on cookie sheet, mush them down a little and bake for 20 min. at 350 degrees. Or you could just spread evenly and cut into bars after it bakes and cools.

Enjoy!! I made these a few years ago, but forgot the part about putting them in the oven, lol. I ended up putting them in cupcake wrappers in the fridge. They came out really good though... just super sticky from the PB. I actually NEVER liked PB until I made these for Jon and ended up eating most of them myself.

I added some craisins to it too for extra flavor... yummm (if diet permits!)

I wouldent bake it as it will degrade the protien a bit, i would add just bit of water, just nuff for it to be mushible "is it a word? i unno," and put on square cookie sheet (in a way you could make\cut out, about 10-12 bars) and throw in fridge for 1-2 hrs. the oats should soak up the water.
then cut into your 10 bars.

I mean bakin wouldent ruine it, but i would try to avoud it.

no protein bar is a meal replacement for a serious man, have a shake with oatmeal if you are in a rush
