Protein bars are actually really easy to make on a budget. You just need four basic ingredients: oatmeal, nut butter, cream and protein powder. That’s it - you combine all four, chill overnight and slice into bars. It works out a lot cheaper than buying readymade and it’s a lot healthier, too.
Quick tip: use disposable gloves in the last stage of mixing (when you add oatmeal) – it’ll make the process faster and less tedious. Foil or baking paper can be used for the pan lining. We often cover the bars with baking paper as well to prevent them from drying out.
Ingredients:
4 x 1/2 cups (400g) uncooked oatmeal (quick oats)
1 x 1/3 cups (340g) peanut butter
1 cup (250ml) coconut cream or milk
5 scoops (150g) whey vanilla protein powder
This will be enough to make around 14 bars

Step 1: Pour the coconut milk (or cream) into a large bow, whisk until smooth if necessary.
Step 2: Add protein powder and continue whisking
Step 3: Next, add peanut butter and mix everything together with a spoon.
Step 4: Add uncooked oatmeal and mix everything together - you may need to use your hands at this point.
Step 5: Line a dish with baking paper or foil, tranfer the mix in and flatten it until smooth.
Step 6: Chill in the fridge overnight (or minimum 2 hours), then cut into 12 or 14 bars.
