The Internet has done a lot of good for all of us, and has also done a lot of bad.\u00a0 There\u2019s also the occasional great thing on the Internet, and today, we\u2019re going to talk about one of those.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m talking about the fantastic \u201cNo Bake Peanut Butter Protein Bars\u201d that I found on the Bodybuilding Recipes Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"No<\/a>

Snack Perfection.<\/p><\/div>\n

Now the recipe calls for the following ingredients, however, longtime readers know that I only advocate using the metric system when measuring out ingredients \/ foods, and whenever possible, I use the mass measurement.<\/p>\n

The Original Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

1-3\/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter
\n1 cup organic honey
\n2 scoops Whey protein
\n1\/2 cup old-fashioned oats
\n50 grams raisins<\/p>\n

Now here\u2019s how I made it–\u00a0 It\u2019s worth noting that I\u2019m listing the ingredient list based on my second time making these–\u00a0 The first time around, they were a little sweeter than I\u2019d like, so I reduced the honey slightly and also left out the raisins.<\/p>\n

My Version of the Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

422g Natural Peanut Butter
\n305g Honey
\n41g Oatmeal
\n70g NutraBio Unflavored Whey Protein Concentrate<\/a><\/p>\n

So how do you make it?\u00a0 Get a big (and I mean big) microwave safe bowl and put the honey and peanut butter in it.\u00a0 Put the bowl in the microwave for 90 seconds.\u00a0 Fresh from the microwave, quickly put in the remaining ingredients, and mix it up thoroughly.\u00a0 When it is adequately mixed, pour it into a Pyrex, or some other container and allow it to cool in the refrigerator.\u00a0 At this point, I also add a light dusting of sea salt to them.\u00a0 When they\u2019re cooled, enjoy!<\/p>\n

Nutrition Facts, Serving Size, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When cooking, I treat my kitchen like my chemistry lab;\u00a0 I carefully measure everything at every step of the way to make sure that I have a precise measure of my yield, which I can then use to accurately calculate the nutrition facts. So, how do these stack up?<\/p>\n

Yield: 838g, which leads us to a basic breakdown of 3941.8 Kcal, 218.4g Fat, 360.1g Carbohydrates, and 164.3g Protein.<\/p>\n

Of course, I\u2019m not going to eat the entire thing in one go, so let\u2019s split these up into 45g servings.\u00a0 What are the nutrition facts for a 45g piece?<\/p>\n
