Vegeterian Tips: Eat a dark green vegetable broccoli, spinach, kale, collard greens at least three times a week. These nutritional powerhouses are packed full of vitamins such as calcium and iron. On the run or hate spinach? Try drinking your greens. I recommend Naked Juice s Green Machine its made with fruit juice as well as greens, so it tastes better than others.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 3 1/2 cups oats (quick or old fashioned)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered soymilk
- 4 scoops vanilla soy protei
- vegan equivalent of two eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup sugar-free vegan maple syrup (any vegan sweetener will do)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix together oats,
soy milk and soy protein. In a medium
bowl, whisk together remaining
ingredients. Pour wet ingredients
over dry and mix with a wooden spoon
until uniformly moist. The batter
will be very thick like stiff cookie
dough.
Dump into a 9X12 baking pan that has
been greased with non-stick cooking
spray (or marg, whatever you have) and
spread into an even layer. The dough
will be stiff and hard to work with
but effort will pay off 🙂
Bake in oven for 15 minutes or so, or
until lightly brown around the edges.
The dough will not change shape at all
during the baking process. Allow to
cool for 10 minutes before cutting
into 10 individual bars. Wrap each
bar individually and store in the
refrigerator for a quick snack anytime.
Note: This is a basic recipe that can
easily be altered. They are not sweet
so dried fruit and nuts will turn
these into a sweet treat. If you wish
to increase the protein content, just
replace some of the soy milk with
equal amounts of soy protein.
Additional water may be needed. The
finished product should be very chewy
and thick like a dense brownie. They
are very satisfying and very healthy.
Great for athletes. Enjoy!
