Homemade Protein Bars

I made this one this morning.....LOVE IT! This is one of my favorite recipes. It tastes like No-Bake Cookies only its LOADED with protein!

2 1/2 c. peanut butter (I like the natural kind because its runnier- i.e. Adams brand)

2 c. honey (I like the raw kind taste better) or agave

2 c. protein powder or powdered milk (I like the chocolate protein powder-makes it taste like no-bake cookies)

3-4 c. oats (i ground up in blender)

1/4 c. wheat germ

2-4 Tbsp. ground flaxseed

chocolate chips (optional)

Mix in bowl. Press onto a cookie sheet. Stays together better if placed in the fridge. Great healthy snack for the kiddos too!! Enjoy!

Have you heard of this?

Am I the only one who has never heard of Capella flavoring? They can be used in protein shakes, baking, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. They basically make any flavor you can think of! Check out their website at http://capellaflavordrops.com/. I think I am going to have to give it a whirl.

Here is a recipe, for exampIe, I found using these flavoring drops...

3 Creamy Swiss Laughing Cow cheese triangles (only 105 calories!)
3 drops New York Cheesecake Capella flavoring
1 drop Sweet Strawberry Capella flavoring
Any sweetener of your choice. (I like Truvia or Stevia.)
6-8 Strawberries (or berry of your choice)
Dip strawberries in the cheese mixture, but you could mash the strawberries and combine all the ingredients as well. Capella makes a Graham Cracker flavor drop as well and that could be yummy too! What a great way to eat well and have your treats too!!
