These are SO easy! I am always on the look out for high protien, high fiber foods. I created this recipe on a whim and was incredibly impressed with the outcome... Good for you AND tasty!! Practically perfection in my book! It's made from Kashi Go Lean cereal which has 10g of fiber, 13g of protien and only 1g of fat per serving. There is lots of room for variation so have fun adding your own favorite fillers.

PROTEIN GRANOLA BARS WITH KASHI GOLEAN

Protein Granola Bars With Kashi Golean image

This is my compilation/adaptation of many granola bar recipes. I tried to make these low calorie and high protein, but non-splenda products (syrup and brown sugar) can be used. Any type of dried fruits can be used, but I highly recommend using cranberries, raisins, and dates. I want to attempt using a jam either on top or in the mixture, but I haven't tried yet. Let me know what you add/substitute so I can give it a try too. Recipezaar doesn't have all the ingredients in their database, so my calculations are: calories 171.4 per serving, protein 10 grams per serving.

Tips:

For chewier granola bars, use less liquid and press the mixture firmly into the pan.
For crispier granola bars, use more liquid and press the mixture loosely into the pan.
If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the oats and nuts by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
You can use any type of nut butter you like in this recipe. Some popular options include peanut butter, almond butter, and cashew butter.
If you don't have any honey, you can substitute maple syrup or agave nectar.
Be sure to store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
