Protein Bar Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter “Gnarly Bars”

 

As trail runners we’re on the go a lot! We run a dozen miles in the mountains, change in the parking lot, and slip into work as most people are starting their first cup of coffee. These “gnarly bars” are a great pre-run, post-run, or mid-run snack to keep you moving when you’re on the go.

“Gnarly Bar”

 

Ingredients:

2 cups natural (unsweetened) peanut butter

2 1/4 cups Gnarly Nutrition chocolate whey

3 cups oats (blend into flour optional after measuring)

1 cup slivered almonds

1/3 cup ground flax seed

1/2 cup agave

1 cup water

 

Directions:

Add all ingredients except the water to mixer and mix. Slowly add in up to 1 cup of water. Press into 9×13 pan, cover and refrigerate.

Other Suggestions:

For a mid-run or pre-run version, use 1 cup of honey and 1/2 cup water instead of the listed agave and water for a higher-carb version.

 

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

    So would this work if I used whey liquid drained off of homemade yogurt? I have this on hand and it could be swapped out for the h20.
