Ingrediants
For the dough
- 40 g of egg white
- grated rind of untreated oranges
- 20 g of bitter cocoa
- 90 g of oat flakes
- 10 g of inulin
- 10 g of soy lecithin
- 50 g of honey
- 50 g of whey protein
for coverage
- 30 g of oat flakes
Materials Needed
- 1 large bowl
- 1 plum cake mold
- Film or parchment paper
- 1 rolling pin (if needed)
- 1 sharp knife
- 1 small bowl for the oat flakes
- 1 colander to sift the cocoa
Preparation
Making protein bars with your own hands is much easier than it sounds.
- In a bowl, combine the oat flakes, whey protein, soy lecithin, inulin, unsweetened cocoa and the grated rind of an untreated orange. Mix well to mix all the "powders".
- Then add an egg white lightly beaten in a small bowl and the honey. So mix well, first with the help of a wooden spoon, then with your hands.
The advice OK
If the dough is too hard to work, you can add a spoonful of soy milk to soften the mixture.- Transfer the mixture thus obtained into a sheet of cling film or wrap it in baking paper (the dough must be slightly sticky). Enclosed in food paper, spread the mixture with your hands or with a rolling pin, until you get a rectangular shape, with a thickness of about 1.5 cm.
The advice OK
To facilitate the operation, it is possible to transfer the rectangle of mixture obtained into a plum-cake mold.- Now it is therefore possible to proceed with cutting the "rectangle": with a sharp knife, cut many bars with a length of about 8 cm and a width of a couple of centimeters.
- Shape each bar with your hands and sprinkle them with oat flakes: this little trick, in addition to improving the appearance of the bar, makes it less sticky and easy to store in the refrigerator.
- The bars can be stored in the refrigerator, enclosed in an airtight container, for 7-10 days.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
Orange flavored cocoa protein bars are a great idea to have fun in the kitchen (as well as in the gym), and also save some money by preparing these specialties at home, since sports supplements are not so cheap. .Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
Protein bars with oat and cocoa flakes represent a valid alternative to the products commonly found on the supplement market. This home version, in addition to being very tasty, storable and totally free of foreign additives, boasts excellent nutritional benefits; the protein bars with oat and cocoa flakes are therefore suitable both for post-workout integration (thanks to the quantity of plastic and energetic nutrients), and for replacing a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack (since the glycemic index is moderated by of inulin).
