First recipe in the Zone section, these homemade zone bars are a whole lot cheaper and in my opinion a whole lot tastier than the commerical ones. Really simple to make, I made a double batch of the recipe here and ended up with around 28bars @ roughly 2 blocks each. Ill do some calculations and put up exact block counts for recipes for those being tight with numbers.
Zone Bars
Ingredients
- 250 g rolled oats
- 120 g crunchy peanut butter
- 150 g honey
- 240 g protein powder (chocolate flavor works really well)
- 120 ml water
Worlds simplest recipe, mix the rolled oats and protein together in a large bowl. Put the honey and peanut butter in the microwave on medium for approximately 60sec to soften them up, add the peanut butter, honey and water to the oat mix, get in there and mix it all together thoroughly. Line a lamington tin or similar with baking/non stick paper, put the mixture into the tray and press it flat, place in the fridge for a couple of hours until mixture sets firm. Cut into squares and store in the fridge or freezer. If freezing them just allow a bit of time for them to soften before eating.

i want to make these! but ive never bought protein powder before… wheres the best place to get it?
Discount supplement warehouse, Harbortown
Mr Supplement at Harbortown, down near the Woolies end. Did u hit up Mr Supplement or the Warehouse when u were there Jason? Mr Supplement is as if not cheaper than internet prices. For this recipe I used Musashi WPC Chocolate flavour, around $80 for 2.5kg
Okay, I tried the sample and I can confirm they are the densest form of energy known to man and also quite delicious.
Discount supplement warehouse is what is printed on the shaker he gave me so either way, the shop at the Woolies end is the shiz.
Did a batch of these yesterday using vanilla flavour Musashi 92 . Taste pretty good, and form an indestructible brick in the stomach. Had one, I’ll probably need to eat again in the spring.
hahaha, they are the most energy dense food stuff known to man. how is the vanilla 92? Im ticking along with the chocolate, I havent been able to bring myself to sample to vanilla delights
Vanilla 92 is gold, actualy tastes like vanilla, as opposed to the it’s-brown-so-it-must-be-chocolate flavour of the choc. Surprisingly good combo with the nut flavour in the bars, too.
Too much carbohydrates I think
