Alternatives to museli bars?

[lovejoy76]

@joshstick Check with your local council, you may get allowed a couple of pet hens, a good sized rabbit run and your set.

 

[joshstick]

@lovejoy76 I've weighed up the costs, with the effort and feed costs involved, I might as well just buy eggs

@joshstick If you dont mind egg whites, try local bakery if they sell any egg whites they have in excess. I used to buy 2L (milk bottles) for $5 and last foreverrrr.

 

[in_jesus_i_trust]

@joshstick When you work out the $/kg excluding the egg, they're still cheap. Usually about $14/kg for large ones.

@joshstick They didn’t say chicken eggs

@ieltscertificates99 Seconded, I slap a slice or two of ham into a greased muffin tray and crack an egg into it. Top with whatever I have in the fridge or garden to use up.

Diced mushrooms, spinach, tomato etc with a generous pinch of cheese. Very nice and much more filling than a muesli bar!

 

[ieltscertificates99]

@undine I did it when I was on keto for a bit. They're fantastic and you can do all kinds of fillings. I liked to put a teeny bit of cream cheese in the middle

 

[undine]

@ieltscertificates99 Definitely trying that with my next batch!

@ieltscertificates99 Handy for toddlers too

 

[ieltscertificates99]

@zerokdegree Yeah my wee man will pull it into a million pieces and rub it into the carpet but he will eat it

@ieltscertificates99 Eggs used to be the way to go! I used to eat 6 cage eggs at first smoko daily just soft boiled and i put on weight after being trapped in a skinny body my whole life. I didn't get fat either just bulked up cause my job is very physical!

@corey7973 Nuts. Also there are good easy chickpea recipes where they turn like crunchy little chip type things.

 

[shiner222]

@gjr I’ve had dried chickpeas dipped in chocolate, couldn’t be too hard to recreate

 

[gjr]

@shiner222 Dipped in chocolate? Never tried that. I cover them with spices and sorta dry roast them.

 

[shiner222]

@gjr I was a bit taken aback as I see chickpeas as mainly savoury, but they weren’t bad, the nicer the chocolate the better the taste of course.

 

[uniquescreenname]

@shiner222 A few years back there was a chickpea chocolate brownie trend....it was actually really good and super moist.
I think we associate chickpeas aa savoury as they're often tossed in spices but they're actually almost flavorless

@gjr nuts are $$$ except for peanuts...

 

[m15riley]

@neyra_06 But you only need a small amount at once. Probably cost less for a handful of mixed notes that a muesli bar, and better source of protein

 

[kokopuff]

@neyra_06 Which aren't nuts. Lol.

 

[sherrine]

@neyra_06 What about deez nuts?
