Ok, here's a protein bar recipe that I've tried. Ends up being kinda chewy, and a touch dry (I might have overcooked it a bit), but pretty tasty, easy, and nutritional:

[WeirdAl]

Makes 8 bars

1 c. raw oatmeal
1 ½ c. chocolate protein powder; [96g. of protein total][vanilla
powder can be used instead]
¼ c. reduced fat creamy peanut butter
½ c. nonfat dry milk powder [dry form do not add any additional water
to this]
2 egg whites, beaten
½ c. raisins
¼ - 1/3 c. water
Mix all ingredients [except water] together in a bowl. Gradually add
water to mixture [mixture is very gooey]. Spray a 9x9" square pan
with cooking spray. Pour batter in pan and spread as best as you can
[I use wax paper to press it down so it is evenly distributed]. Bake
in a preheated 325 degree oven for about 15 minutes .Let cool
slightly; cut into 8 bars.

no, but I've been working on it.... folding egg whites, protein powder and ground nuts -- it works, but no where near refined and not worth the effort -- yet!

Still working on it, I've had limited sucess, but they just don't taste right or have too much fat. Simply blending protein powder into eggwhite ain't getting it. I'm looking for a chewier product -- going to try grinding nuts with protein powder, skim milk and egg substitutes and flavorings.

Later

what about using some of the flax bread recipes they sell, or the low carb muffin mixes they have to add consistancy?
