Chocolate Protein Bars
by Lisa Rodger
Ingredients
* 1/4 cup pepita seeds
* 1/4 cup dried cranberries
* 1 1/2 cups Organic Rolled Oats (I used Red Mills)
* 1 1/4 cups Sprouted Brown Rice Chocolate Crisp Cereal (I used One Degree Organic, Veganic Sprouted Cacao crisps)
* 1/4 cup almond butter (I used Crazy Richard's)
* 1/2 cup brown rice syrup (I used Organic Sweet Dreams)
* 1/2 serving BSN Syntha-6 protein powder
* 1 tsp. Cinnamon
* 1/4 tsp Himalayan Pink Sea Salt
* 1 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
Recipe
1 - Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2 - Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spread finely chopped pecans in an even layer, and toast them in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
3 - In a large bowl, combine oats, rice crisp cereal, pepita seeds, cranberries, cinnamon and salt. Stir in the cooled, toasted pecans.
4 - In a small saucepan, stir together the brown rice syrup and almond butter until well combined. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture softens and bubbles slightly. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
5 – Pour the almond butter mixture over the oat mixture, using a spatula to scrape every last bit out of the pan. Stir well until all of the oats and cereal are coated in the wet mixture. The resulting mixture will be very thick and difficult to stir.
6 – Transfer the mixture to a 9 inch, rimmed cookie sheet that is covered with parchment paper, or prepared with non-stick cooking spray. Spread mixture in an even layer, about 1/2 inch thick. Lightly wet your hands and press down on the mixture to even it out. You can use a rolling pin to compact the mixture firmly and evenly. This helps the bars hold together better. Press down on the edges with your fingers.
7 – Place the pan in the freezer, uncovered, and chill for at least 10 minutes, or until firm.
8 – Lift the oat square out of the pan, using the parchment paper as handles, and place it on a cutting board. With a pizza roller, or serrated knife, slice the square into 6 rows and then slice them in half to make 20 bars total.
9 – Wrap the bars individually in plastic wrap or foil and store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can store them in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Gummy Roll-Ups
by Rebecca Capodici
Ingredients:
- 1 scoop BSN Strawberry Dragonfruit AminoX
- 1 envelope of unflavoured Knox Gelatin
- 1/2 cup Walden Farms marshmallow dip
- 1/2 cup water
- nonstick cooking spray
Recipe:
In a bowl mix aminoX and gelatin. Pour water over it and mix. Put in microwave for 1 minute. Mix again until fully dissolved.
Spoon marshmallow dip into bowl and mix a little.
Microwave for 20 to 30 seconds (do not over microwave if you want a more gummy texture..If you want a more fluffy marshmallow almost like taffy texture microwave for 45 to 1 minute). Mix until everything is fully dissolved.
Very lightly Spray a small rectangle baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Take a napkin and spread the oil on the bottom and on the sides.
Pour mixture into baking Pan. Then place in refrigerator for about 45 minutes until firm or if you can't wait like me place in freezer until it's firm. Take out and run knife around the edge. Roll "long ways" to form a long log. Slice with dental floss to make roll ups.
Notes: Fruit Punch aminoX creates a darker red colour. You can also make them look like pinwheels. You have to do it with two scoops of the BCAAs and make sure you only microwave the marshmallow dip for 30 seconds.

Yogurt Filled Protein Cakes
by Krys Suzuki
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup multigrain baking and pancake mix
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2 tbsp water
- 1-2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 scoop BSN Chocolate Milkshake Syntha 6 Edge
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- water (add as needed for desired batter consistency)
- 1/2 container vanilla coconut yogurt
- 1 tbsp softened vegan cream cheese
- 2 tbsp beet juice (optional for color)
- 1 packet aminoX dragon fruit
- OPTIONAL: Sprinkle coconut flakes (1/2 tbs - Plus 18cal)
Recipe:
- Preheat oven to 350
- Blend all cake ingredients in a blender, add water in small amounts as needed to make cake batter like consistency if too think
- Divide between 2 small baking dishes sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking (or make one large cake to cut in half later)
- Bake for 15-20 min until it rises and a knife comes out clean
- While it is baking, prepare the yogurt filling.
- Soften a tbsp of vegan cream cheese by microwaving it for 10-15 sec
- Mix all filling ingredients together.
- Refrigerate while the cake finish baking
- Take out cakes, let them cool.
- Once cooled, remove cake from baking dish, and poke a hoe through the centre with a chopstick, knife, or other pointy object.
- If you don’t have baking tools for inserting filling into pastries, do what I did! Make it yourself! Poke a hole in the corner of a plastic baggy, then stuff that corner through a small funnel. Secure it so it doesn’t fall out then fill the bag with the yogurt mixture.
- Stick the funnel tube with the plastic baggy into the hole you made in the cake, and squeeze out half of the yogurt mixture into the cake.
- Use the remaining yogurt mixture to top the cake like frosting.
- Optional: Make it fancy by adding a bit of coconut flakes on top! (Or sprinkles, or chocolate chips, whatever!)
- Enjoy! But make sure you cut it down the middle before enjoying it so you can see your awesome handiwork of the filling
