Hi Andrea. Cool, I just bought some coconut milk recently, delicious!
@ Williams. Heavy cream or double cream is not sweetened. Has about 1 or 2 grams of carbs per 100ml.

Mark I always see you saying use Heavy Cream? What is that? Isn’t that cream sweet? And spike insulin?

Make these just as decadent (but not as “creamy”) and dairy-free using coconut milk or coconut oil instead of the cream. Yum!

@ Jack. 50 grams is fine. It’s best to use a low carb Whey.

@ Andy. Great to hear mate!

hey Mark

This is the 1st protien bar i have tried to make…the thought of oats and honey and heating this and baking that always put me off

i have literally just made 3 smooth and 3 crunchy ones in 10minutes…its so easy

and taste great…and ive tried many processed ones…from budget to designer…they all have a bulky…not natural taste in my opinion though

anyway just wana say thanks….ps i use a bulking protien powder from nutrisport and it works great in these…also gives me the carbs i require

Hey Mark,
I was wondering whether the kind of protein powder makes a difference. Right now i have protein powder which packs some carbs, unlike the one that you take. If I use this protein powder, will it still be effective? And another question, instead of keeping the <30grams carb a day, is it ok if its <50grams? How will it affect me?

Regards,
Jack

It adds to the fat content for sure, that’s the point. There are almost no carbs/sugar in cream though.
Cheers,
Mark

Does the whipping cream not add to the sugar and fat content?

Hey Mark, did you figure out the nutritional count for these bars? (fat, calories, fibre, protein per bar, or ball?) Thanks!

Hey Mark how many tablespoons of nut butter are you using?
Are you going by the weight of the nut butter of the fat grams. Same question for protein powder. Thanks Love the sight!

Hey Mark dying to try this recipe. Do you mean 50 grams of nut butter by weight or is the 50 grams measuring the fat content?
Love the sight. Thanks!

Hey Mark thanks for this site! I just started a CKD today, thanks to the information on your site… and its not as rough as I thought. So I decided to make one of these protein bars. My God man, these things are amazing. The taste was between a brownie and a cake. Thanks man and I’ll be looking forward to your future articles.

These are great.
Took 3 mins to make. doubled the mix and made two. Popped them in the refridgerator for 5 mins and they firmed up and lost the shine. Taste awsome. Thanks.

Hi Mark I was so excited to see this recipe after spending so much money on protein bars! I made it the other day and made it x 4 then rolled into little balls and put in the freezer. Now I just take out a little protein ball each day and it is a yummy snack!! Thanks for your great website as well. Very inspirational!

I might stop by the store on the way home and get some heavy whipping cream so I can make this. There are so many things you can put in a protein bar, I never even thought of using cream.

Here’s another recipe I made that uses oats:
