HOMEMADE PROTEIN BARS FOR KIDS - ANY RECIPES YOU'D RECOMMEND

[ukgirlatheart]

Need to refuel my DS age 10 2-3 times a week after his strenuous activity he does. He doesn't like the shop bought protein bars out there, anyone got any decent recipes please he likes flapjack and choc chip type things but not keen on nuts!

A 3cm piece of chocolate and a boiled egg (white only) would give him all the carbs and protein he needs. Less calories than a protein bar and certainly less chemicals.

I pulverise toasted cashews with dates and a tablespoon of cocoa powder in a blender then form into truffle shapes. Like naked bars only cheaper. Not sure that they taste very nutty either.

Have a look in Jamie Oliver's new book Everyday superfoods. He has a post gym protein loaf in there, also homemade breakfast bars.
