Hands up: who else has a problem with how bloody expensive it is to care about aesthetics? While a Dairy Milk or a Mars Bar are, what, 70p these days? And then you’d be lucky to buy a single protein bar for less than two quid. It’s madness.
So I propose a solution, ladies and gents: let’s do it Blue Peter style and make our own. No sticky-back plastic or pasted-on grins required (well, the latter is optional).
I took both these recipes from the Optimum Nutrition “Protein Powder Cookbook” – of course, the recommended whey protein to use in these recipes would be Optimum Nutrition’s own brand, but really you can use any you like. Just make sure it has a high yield (a high percentage of protein per serving) – and you’ve already tried and tested it for taste!
