Protein bars are available in most places that sell other types of food. They are designed with weightlifters and bodybuilders in mind but are popular among many people trying to lose weight and build muscle mass. You do not have to rely on the store-bought selections. You can make good-tasting protein bars in your own kitchen for a lot less money. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Spread this sticky dough-like mixture into an 8-inch x 8-inch baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and spread the dough into the pan to form a level surface. Place the dish in the freezer for an hour, then remove it and cut the bars into nine squares.
Wrap the squares individually with plastic wrap and store them in a covered container. This recipe will produce great tasting protein bars that contain 197 calories, 21 grams of protein and 7.2 grams of fat, according to LiftForLife.com.

Make a protein bar with more crunch, but no glycerin, preservatives or added sugar with this recipe.
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Mix 3 1/2 cups of quick oats, 1 1/2 cups of nonfat dry milk and four scoops of chocolate protein powder in a bowl and combine thoroughly.
In a separate bowl combine two egg whites, a quarter-cup of orange juice, a quarter-cup of natural applesauce, 1 tsp. of vanilla and one cup of sugar-free pancake syrup and blend them together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix them thoroughly, making what appears to be cookie dough.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and spread the mixture on the surface, making a sheet that has a consistent depth. Place the baking sheet in the pre-heated oven and bake until the edges are browned and crisp.
Use a knife to cut the recipe into 10 equal-sized crunchy bars. Each bar will contain 200 calories, two grams of fat and 44 grams of protein, according to DietPulpit.com.
