			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Being a personal trainer keeps me up and moving on my feet all word day long. All the activity and high energy gets me HUNGRY. I often need to eat something quickly between clients to keep me going! <a href="http://bringingyoufitness.com/blog/category/tips-on-nutrition/the-perfect-protein-bar/">Protein bars</a> are great for this. I wanted to come up with my own protein bar recipe for fun. And man, these protein bars are delicious, satisfying, and OH- SO- GOOD- FOR- YOU!</p><p style="text-align: left;"><strong>No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Bars</strong></p><p style="text-align: left;">5 tbsp natural peanut butter (chunky or smooth)<br />1 cup dry oat meal<br />6 scoops chocolate protein powder<br />1 teaspoon vanilla<br />1/8 cup (2 tablespoons) flax seeds<br />1 cup non-fat dry milk<br />3/4 cup water (depending on what type of protein you use, you may need to add more or less)</p><p style="text-align: left;">Combine dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix well. Then add peanut butter and mix &#8211; the mixture will be crumbly and dry. Then lastly, add water and vanilla. It should look like this:</p><p><a href="http://bringingyoufitness.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/266355_10150388781912501_757787500_10463180_7055027_o.jpg"></a><a href="http://bringingyoufitness.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/266355_10150388781912501_757787500_10463180_7055027_o.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-875" title="266355_10150388781912501_757787500_10463180_7055027_o" src="http://bringingyoufitness.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/266355_10150388781912501_757787500_10463180_7055027_o-e1311553595727.jpg" alt="" width="343" height="205" /></a><br />Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix everything until a dough forms as seen above. The dough will be sticky. Spray an 8&#215;8 pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the dough out evenly using CLEAN HANDS as seen below:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bringingyoufitness.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/280235_10150388781682501_757787500_10463176_1892822_o.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-874" title="280235_10150388781682501_757787500_10463176_1892822_o" src="http://bringingyoufitness.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/280235_10150388781682501_757787500_10463176_1892822_o.jpg" alt="" width="490" height="293" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Refrigerate a few hours (or freeze for an hour) and cut into 9 squares.
