The Bodybuilders Thread: Circuit II

Main bar:

* 160g Protein Powder (I used Nutritech Chocolate Powder)
* 1 x tablespoon cocoa
*1/4 cup peanut flour. I made these by just pulsing raw unsalted peanuts in my blender. Careful not to chop them too much as it will release the oils and turn to peanut butter. (As you can see from my photo, I could probably have blitzed it a few seconds more)
* 70g unsalted butter
* 75ml cream
* 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
* Optional: 2 tablespoon sweetener of choice

1. Mix the protein powder, cocoa and peanut flour in a bowl. (You can add the extra sweetener here if you want it a bit sweeter. The peanut butter and protein powder already contains sugar/sweetener so I didn't add anything extra)
2. In a separate bowl, melt the butter and peanut butter in the microwave. About 30 seconds. Stir until combined and smooth.
3. Add cream to butter mixture and stir until completely combined.
4. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix until it is fully mixed and smooth. It will be a very stiff and sticky mixture so don't worry.
5. Spoon the mixture into an approx 20cm x 20cm over tray or glass dish lined with baking paper.
6. Smooth it out with a spatula.
7. Set aside

Topping:

* 30g Butter
* 1/4 cup Peanut Butter
* 3 or 4 tablespoons cream
* 2 tablespoons sweetener (I used sucralose sweetener)

1. Melt the butter and peanut butter in the microwave. Stir until combined and smooth.
2. Add the sweetener to the cream and dissolve.
3. Add cream to butter mixture and stir until combined and smooth.
4. Pour mixture over the bottom mixture in the tray and spread evenly.
5. Put in the freezer for at least 1 hour to set.

I cut mine into different sized bars and popped it in the fridge for consumption later.
 
So who is going to try this? :D

those bars look great apoc! The ones we make is usually just a mixture of protein powder, peanut butter & oats :p
 
Any good suggestions for protein bars? I know generally speaking though they are a waste of money and calories.

Waste of money for me. I bought a couple of the USN Tornado shakers which have a screw on cup on the bottom to put in your protein powder so your ready to go.

Wasn't planning on eating them regularly, only when it's not convenient to have protein powder and mix up a shake. Along the lines of attending a seminar or all day event where access to protein might not be so easy.
 
Only good Protein bars are Quest Bars. Rest of them have lots of hidden sugars and additives.
I had heard they are good, sucks that they are like R26 per bar at todays exchange rate :(

Anyone want to mass produce Apoc's recipe or anything else good? :)

That reminds me of a friend of mine who use to compete in bodybuilding competitions. He would walk around with a ziplock bag with steamed chicken breasts, it smelled awful.
 
Yeah, i dont want to be *that* guy

That video of Furious Pete, scoffing on potato chips and soda pop.... I ate a bag of chips on the weekend and that junk definitely goes straight to ones belly :/
 
I'm thinking we may see whey and other supp prices go up even more. I notice all of Takealots pricing *seems* to be on the increase.

Might be good to stock up on whey etc... before it gets worse?

Yeah I used my R100 off voucher on Takealot to buy whey and casein even though I still have full ones at home.
 
Ive cut down on my Whey intake. Used to take 3-4 scoops a day now down to 2.
 
Fudge :mad:
Nutritech Premium Pure Whey 3.2kg is now R679 at Xtreme Nutrition Canal Walk, as of yesterday!

edit: Going to order from Takealot.
edit2: Went with Choc Mint. Cost me R649 after applying App50 discount code.

So like a sucker I bought Nutritech's 'NuWay High Protein Energy Cereal'.

The protein percentage is the same as Pronutro, Jungle's Bfast and FutureLife.
FutureLife's High Protein cereal is double the protein percentage.

Dude...... But protein aside it seems like it has a good balance of vitamins and minerals also, so thats a plus. Just 500g box right?

That Chocolate high protein futurelife is delicious!
It is I suppose, only thing is I overdid FL a wee bit too much a couple years ago so now I really can't eat it too much without tiring of it.

It helped me drop quite a bit of body fat (well 2 to 3kg in my case).
