Homemade protein bars

Hey boys. I found a recipe for homemade protein bars. I wanted to make some because I can control the amount of sugar that goes into them. Here is the recipe: Makes 2 bars 3 scoops of chocolate protein powder 2 packets of splenda 2 tbsp almond butter (I am gonna use peanut butter because it is the same nutrition but almond butter is $10 for a small jar) 1/3 cup flax meal 1/2 cup? of water My question is, does anyone know a replacement for the flax meal?  I have found flaxseed but it is high calorie and high fat. I was thinking of using oatmeal.  The original recipe comes out about 330 calories, 30 g protein, not sureon fat but it is managable. I figure if I use oatmeal I would save alot of fat.

Use the flax. It's chok full of Omega-3s and other great fats.

So...whad do you do...just mix it up and cut it?

3 scoops of chocolate protein powder 2 packets of splenda 2 tbsp almond butter (I am gonna use peanut butter because it is the same nutrition but almond butter is $10 for a small jar) 1/3 cup flax meal 1/4 cup of water Yeah you take all the ingredients and mix them together, I used my hands after it started to get mushy. Then split the dough in half and put it on plastic wrap and mold it into a bar shape. Put it in the fridge for an hour to chill or in the freezer and eat cool.  Here is the stats per bar when I used oatmeal and reduced fat PB: Calories 300 Fat 10g Protein 35
