3.30pm
1 homemade protein bar

Hi Mermaid! I'm wondering if these homemade protein bars can go without refrigeration? I'm thinking of making some to take on my trip that's coming up this weekend. I will have a fridge in my hotel room, but between my home, the airports, the plane ride and the hotel, there is about 7 hours travel time there. Do you just use oats, whey & peanut butter for yours or do you enhance it with nuts, egg whites etc.?

Hey Roony ,

I've recently started making Caligirl's recipe for bars:

10oz silken tofu
1/2 cup applesauce
2 egg whites
2 tbsp honey
1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 cup oats
4 scoop whey
2tsp vanilla
1 cup blueberries

Make batter (like brownies) pour in a pan and bake for 25 mins. They are awesome! You can sub berries for ANPB.

I keep refridgerated overnight but leave them in a ziploc bag all day by my desk. They keep really well. An absolute saviour during busy times/meetings etc.

I've not made the other type before.....

Something is definitely happening to my body. GREAT FEELING

It's weird. I've seen no improvement for about a month, then suddenly I wake up and notice fat loss. My arms and legs are defining quite nicely but the torso hasn't moved much - this is always the case with me.
EVERY'BODY' HAS SOMETHING THAT IS HER OWN AREA WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE "LAST TO GO" IT'LL HAPPEN ...

In 6 weeks, I've only lost 2 pounds but lost 4% BF so the measurements say
ANOTHER TESTAMENT ON HOW THE SCALE CAN BE DECEIVING AT TIMES

AND people are noticing ANOTHER HAPPY MOMENT so I guess that's good. Clothes fit much better.
BEST FEELING IS THAT YOU ARE NOTICING WHEN OFTEN THE WAY YOU SEE YOURSELF IS THE MOST CRITICAL

So why aren't I happy about it? I know my progress could have been better if I didn't have that bad week in Sydney. Bugger. Hard work eventually pays off, just sucks that it take so long!!!!!
EVENTUALLY YOU WILL LEARN TO APPRECIATE THE PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION, B/C IT IS NOT A STARTING POINT & A FINISHING POINT YOU ARE AIMING FOR, ALTHOUGH AT FIRST IT SEEMS LIKE IT... IT'S THE JOURNEY & MANY DIFFERENT PATHS YOU CAN TAKE THAT MAKE IT ALL WORTH WHILE B/C YOU ARE ACTUALLY LEARNING WHAT YOUR BODY IS CAPABLE OF & WHAT A MAGNIFICENT MACHINE IT CAN BE WHEN TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY No quick remedy.
