Got Protein? Easy Step by Step Survivalist Protein Bar

Before You Get Started…..

… Remember what the purpose of these protein bars are for. We're not licensed dietitians, nor are we telling you how to live your life – that's not our style! But we'd like to preface this recipe with an FYI. As delicious as these protein bars are, please keep in mind that they should be consumed in emergenciey situations or when you do not have any other source of food. They are high in calorie in order to sustain a person in these situations.

So in other words, if you taste these and decide you want them to be your new breakfast bar, that's completely fine. Just know that unless you're working out like a mad man (or mad woman) you will most likely gain weight. If you're one of those people who can't seem to keep weight on, then these might be a dream come true for you! Anyway… on we go:

You will need

  • Flax seed (optional)
  • Frosted Flakes (Or un frosted. 1 handful)
  • Oatmeal (3 cups)
  • Protein Powder (1 cup)
  • Peanut Butter (Creamy or Crunchy)
  • Olive oil (Or virgin/extra virgin olive oil. Regular olive oil does have more carbs)
  • Maple Syrup (Almost 2 cups)
  • Honey (A few teaspoons)
  • Peanuts (A hand full)
  • Raisins (A hand full)

[Step 1]

Fill the measuring cup with syrup and pour into the sauce pan. Fill the second one almost all the way to the top and add honey until full. Add to saucepan.

Add 1/2 cup of olive oil to saucepan

Turn saucepan on lowest setting

After mixture is warm (Just a bit more than room temperature), begin stirring slightly for 5-10 seconds every 60 seconds until it is warm enough to melt the peanut butter

Add 2 massive spoonfuls of peanut butter (Continue to stir)

Stir until it feels like very soupy caramel (continue to stir for 5-10 seconds every 60 seconds to keep it from “Crusting” on the top)

 

[Step 2]

Combine your dry foods

 

[Step 3]

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

[combine dry food with mixture from Step 1. Bake for 20 minutes]

 

[Step 4]

Cut into 2 inch x 2 inch squares
 
Place cookie sheet into freezer for about an hour

Place 6 squares each into 3 vacuum seal bags for a total of 18 squares

6 squares = roughly 3 days of food @ 600 calories per square. 2 squares per day = 1200 calories per day. (1200 calories per day is not healthy but will keep you alive in dire situations. If you are planning a camping trip, plan and pack at least 2400 calories per day)
