Ingredients: ricotta cheese (part skim or fat free) 1 envelope Splenda French vanilla flavor blend (or other flavors such as mocha) Note: You can also use other artificial flavors such as extracts and sugar free flavor syrups.

Directions: 1. Combine PB, honey and milk in a pot. 2. Warm over low heat. 3. Add the protein powder and mix well. 4. Add the oats. 5. You don't want to cook it, just warm it through so you can stir it. 6. Add more milk if it is too thick to stir. 7. Press in a 9" x 13" pan. 8. Let the bars sit until cool, and cut into 16 equal sized bars. 9. Wrap each bar in foil or Saran wrap and store in plastic baggies. 10. They do not need refrigeration.

Nutty Fudge Protein Bar
|
Ingredients: 2 1/3 cups chocolate protein powder (I use Champion Whey Stack) 1 oz square unsweetened chocolate 1/2 cup butter 4 oz cream cheese 1 oz chopped pecans 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 teaspoons peanut butter 1/4 cup Splenda |
Directions: Melt butter, cream cheese, peanut butter and chocolate in bowl in microwave and mix together very well. Add Splenda and vanilla, mix well again. Add pecans and protein powder and mix. Place in a baking pan, press down and refrigerate. When cooled and hardened, cut into 20 square bars. This does not get baked but the mixture will be warm from heating the first five ingredients in the microwave. Makes 20 bars Nutrition counts: (Based on using real butter and cream cheese, could be lower if diet butter, low fat cream cheese, or if applesauce is substituted for the butter.) I am sure these would be good using sugar free chocolate but I prefer not to have the extra calories or manitol. Grams Per big bar: Calories 123 Fat 8 Carb 1.5 Protein 7.5 |

Author's Note: Protect them. They tend to disappear. My family loves to snack on them.

|
Ingredients: 1 cup peanut butter 1 cup Splenda 1 tsp vanilla 1 egg and 1 serving of protein powder |

Dip your fork in Splenda and do a crisscross on top of the cookie. Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes. Let cool. *If you eat them while they are still warm, they will crumble in your hands. I guess they just need time to set? |
Protein Ball Recipe #10 "Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls"
|
Ingredients: couple of ounces of cream cheese (fat free) couple of large tablespoons of peanut butter couple of large tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa 1/4 to 1/3 cup Splenda |
