*1/2 cup Instant Oats
*1/4 cup Natural Peanut Butter
*1 cup Skim Milk Powder
*1/2 cup Seedless Raisins
*1 1/2 cup Optimum Nutrition’s 100% Whey Protein (Chocolate flavour)
You need to mix all of the above ingredients together in a bowl and add just enough water to make a stiff mixture. Too much water, and you’ll end up with ON Whey Porridge, and your protein bars are screwed - so go slow when you knead the water into the mixture. Use your hands, and yes - they’ll get real sticky but you need to if you want to mix it well. Spray a cake pan or a tray of some sort with some cooking spray and flatten the mixture on the tray evenly.
Refrigerate for a few hours and then you’ll be able to cut into bars. The recipe supposedly allows for up to 12 bars to be cut, but I only managed to get 9. He he. My cutting skills suck.
For storage, you could wrap the bars in clingwrap, or foil, and store them in the fridge. When cut up to 12 bars, you’re supposed to be getting about 16 grams of carbs and 16 grams protein, 3g fat, and approx 166 calories. But since mine came up to 9 bars.. I’ll just eat them knowing I’m getting AT LEAST 16g of protein per bar. :)
By the way, they taste pretty alright. Nothing to really shout about, but fun if you’ve got the spare time to mess around in the kitchen. Plus, for those of you who work in the office and find it difficult to include additional meals into your diet, here’s an option you could consider.
Cosmetic surgery is very expensive and there are other ways to remove unwanted hair. With the help of science, thermage is something commonly used by different companies while lasik eye surgery is one method for getting rid of glasses.

dude…how about putting in durian and market it as Dura-Bar (hehe…maybe can out sell powerbars ;-))
:)
me and friends are finding way to mix condensed milk with durian to make Dura-gel, as opposed to powergel ;-) (LOL, that’s what we think powergel are anyway, sweet condensed flavoured milk!)
stupe: You’re kidding right? :P
we once ate a dozen durian after a 10k run…instant carbo reloading ;-)
i’m kidding about the condensed millk thingy, but powergel sure taste like them, no?
Stupe: I’ve always been curious about the nutritional breakdown of durians. I bet there’s lotsa fat in them too.. just unsure how much. You can pretty much tell when the fruit you’re eating has a creamy/fatty texture to it, like avocados too. I’ve never tasted powergel before, so I wouldnt know.
DM - :) only 5.33% fat ;-)
the powergel was given free, i almost choked the first time i took it, it has to be taken with water. I’ve also seen ppl in gym snacking on powerbar as if it is some miracle food. also those ORS(Oral Dehydration Salt) where some racers take as if it will help them prevent cramp…duh!!!!
anyway, as per requested (i’m a lulian lover)

avocado has 4.6gm of fat per serving(and a whooping 13.8g/100gm)…making it less favourable compared to lulian!!!

I going to try making these protein bars and see how good they taste. I got some Optimum protein powder just sitting around collecting dust.
stupe: Wow! I was actually thinking that durians would have about 20g of fat/100g. I never realised I was so wrong! Durians anyone? :D
Avocados suck. heh heh. Thanks.
Nature Boy: Collecting dust? Eh.. dont want means give me lar. We can have a protein party.
DM, no wonder u ate 10 durians last nite..
oh..btw..HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY!!
Manju: Yeah.. but those durians weren’t that sweet lar. Nowhere as sweet as u.
happy belated bday to you too. so, how many years young?
did you see biggest loser yesterday? i seriously believe Andrea should had won…the fact that she’s female and it’s ahrder fot them to shed fats compared to male!
stupe: I’m 27 and loving it. Ah, no I didn’t catch yesterday’s episode. Poor Andrea.
DM - :) Many more years ahead! I’m old, almost creaking. Now worrying about PD Tri in July. Got to step up the cardio and cycling…
I love durians, esp those bitter and sweet one.
Well i tried this recipe but turn out kinda weird more like thick paste but atlest it have a shape just that it not solid type. BTW DM why do u get your natural peanut butter, i use those regular type mostly selling in all store cant find any store selling those natural PB unless u go to organic shop but it cost way to expansive for a pnatural PB and if i grind it myself the texture whould not be the say. Just wondering where do u get ur natural PB. BTW i’m from PG couldn’t find it around here.
