Hmmmmm, protein bars in the VM?? I'll have to look for a recipe for that...and be careful not to melt my spatula.Ginny From: Tony Szpara <tszpara@...> Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2012 3:39 PM Subject: Re: Vitamix Spatulas

I like mine except when I am making protein bars.

It melted it and the spatula had a curve in it at the end.

Yum! Those sound great. Thanks for the link! Think I'll try and make those this

week. I've never heard of Lara Bars.

Here is another super easy way to make protein bars. You can use the pulp left

in your nutmilk bags after you strain juice, or just chop op some fruits and

veggies for the sole purpose of making the bars. Just put the pulp (or chopped

stuf) in a large bowl after straining off as much liquid as possible (salad

spinner works great, with the contents tied in the nutmilk bag to keep them from

going through the small slits in the spinner) To the pulp, add a scoop of greek

yogurt (Fage brand is wonderful) a bit of cocoa powder,, some honey or agave

nectar and some seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, flax, chia, etc) crushed nuts, and

shredded coconut, if desired (pretty much anything goes here) Blend this all up

well (I find a large fork works best-then mash like a dough with your hands)

Roll the " dough " into a log, similar to " slice and bake cookies " , then wrap in

freezer paper and freese JUST until firm enough to slice-about 1/2 hour. SLice

it in to rounds like you would slice and bakes. You can eat these " as is " , or

dehydrate them for about 8 hours (I do mine overnight) so they are crunchy.

They can be individually wrapped in freezer paper and stored in the freezer-I

just grab a couple on my way out the door and tuck them in my purse. By the

time I am ready to eat them, they have thawed to just the right temp.

Most at the gym use them since we don't use soy, sugar, processed foods or legumes (peanuts)
