Protein Food bars for the trail
In preparation for a upcoming trip I'm going through my gear and getting everything squared away. One concern is the food that I will bring for a 10 day hike. In this video I'm going to make Protein Bars from a recipe I found on instructables. Here is the Link: http://www.instructables.com/id/Backp...
The great thing about making them yourself is you know exactly what the ingredients are and you can tailor them to the things you like. These bars are protein packed and high calorie per ounce. Each of my bars are 3oz. each a rough estimate of nutritional figures are 325 calories and 12 grams of protein. Best of all they taste better than the commercial bars available that I have tried.
The Basic ingredients are:
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup glutinous Rice Flour
1 cup Nut Butter
1 cup Whey Protein powder
To the base mixture you can tailor the bars to whatever flavor you like. I split it into three flavors
Peanut butter M&M's
3.4 oz. M&M's
Almond Cranberry ( my Favorite) 1/3 dough
1/3 chopped Almonds
1/3 cup Dried Cranberry's
Almond Granola Blueberry
1/3 chopped Almonds
1/3 cup Dried Cranberry's
1/3 cup Granola
