... you don't buy them in boxes?
Also, I started making my own. Awesome, easy to do. If you're interested, I can send you some recipes I came across and have been using (and modifying).
Edit: Wow! Went away for a few minutes.... tons of replies.
Ok give me just a few to grab them
Edit 2: You can grab the few I use the most here. As you can see, I like peanut butter and chocolate. A few things to do to make things even healthier...
Add in chia seeds - awesome stuff.
Swap out maple syrup for agave syrup. I tend to use the dark agave.
Use agave instead of butter for binding the all oat recipes. Butter binds okay, but agave works great. Comes out super chewy.
Use parchment paper - this is not the same as wax paper!! Parchment paper can be used in the oven at higher temperatures, something wax paper isn't good for. You'll melt the wax. When you're done, you can use the parchment paper to twist and wrap up the bars for sticking in your jersey.
When it comes to the protein powder additions, use whey protein isolate or whey protein hydroisolate. Its more expensive, but substantially more effective. Isolate has less fats, less lactose, and is absorbed easier. Hydroisolate takes things a step further, reducing the amount of digestion that needs to be done. Since you're making a batch, WPI and WPH will last a long while this way. They also usually taste like shit, but since you're making delicious fudge brownies (in healthy form) and oat bars, it works out.
If anyone has anything else to add, please do so!
Dry goods seem like they'd go a long way. What does your access to beans, nuts, and oats/other grains look like? What does your spice selection look like either near you or in Edmonton?
A couple of amazon staples: Wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, sesame oil, herbamare, bullion/broth powder, dried mushrooms, chia seeds
