My daughter, age 13 years, is a vegan/vegatarian. She is also lactose intolerant. As she is a competitive swimmer, she needs a lot of protein supplements. They have to be soy based. Most of the protein powders do not taste good in a drink, but the she would like to try protein bars. Would anyone have a recipe for a protein bar, using vanilla flavoured soy protein powder? I would really appreciate it.

Soy Based Protein Bar 3 cups rolled oats 3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten 1 cup trader joe soy protein 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons fructose 1/2 cup pecans or sunflower seeds chopped 3 tablespoons canola oil 1/3 cup chopped dried fruit or raisins 1/2 cup water or apple juice 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 cup flour, oat or rice flour; as needed to thicken 1 cup or more additional liquid to achieve texture (varies, depending on additions) Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease a cookie sheet. Mix everything but the flour, let it sit a few minutes, then beat with a fork until it begins to thicken. Add enough liquid or flour to make a stiff dough. Roll or pat out on the cookie sheet, about 1/4 inch thick, cut 20 pieces. Cut with cookie cutter or roll out a rectangle on a greased cookie sheet and separate into 4x5 rectangles for 20 biscuits or bars. Bake 12 minutes. The apple juice adds additional carbs, but nice flavor, and some folks enjoy a little cinnamon. If you are NOT vegan, you can beat in some eggs and reduce the water or apple juice for a little better texture and protein.

I usually eat regular protein bars, but there are recipes for vegetarians that would like soy. I have never made this one, but it seems pretty standard, like all the other bars, here is the link. http://www.solae.com/soyproteinrecipes/recipes/peanutplusbars.jsp you could also try looking online for recipes that use that type of vanilla powder...

The best protein bar recipes I've found are on the WeBeFit.com website. They list the EXACT caloric breakdown (including sugar that most leave out) and you can substitute their whey protein for soy protein. They also include pictures of what every bar looks like when it's finished (something else most other recipes leave out.) http://www.webefit.com/Recipes/recipe_bars.html
