When you are out of protein bars, here is how you make your own. Quest bar style!
I finally got my hands on some fiber syrup, which is pretty new here in Sweden. It contains 5% sugar and 70% fiber and it can be used as a replacement for syrup on your pancakes. But the main reason why I got it is because it's supposed to be the key ingredient in Quest bars (next to protein of course).
To make a really good protein bar it is important to have a tasty protein powder! The one i used for these bars is pretty dang delicious, and it comes from tyngre.
As in any Quest bar, the chunks are crucial! You can basically put any kind of chunks you like inside the bars when you are shaping them. Get creative! I used goji berries for some chewiness & pumpkin seeds for some crunch.
