Peaty protein bars. Why do these not exist?
-
I have eaten exactly zero (0) protein bars since I started Peating.
Why?
Turns out almost ALL of them are chock full of fat no matter the carb or sugar content. This is obviously an egregious violation of the Randle Cycle. The one bar I found that had very little fat but did have sugar was Built Puff, and they happen to have collagen too. However, those are pretty expensive, so I haven't had any for a long time.
Why are there no Peaty protein bars and what is stopping someone from cornering the market with them?

Well, to get a bar with peaty ingredients you would have to manage in this way:
- Fibber (veggie from corn salad for a soft touch): 50 g
- Coconut milk (200 ml)
- shredded coconut 2 tsp
- Macadamia nuts 3 (6 g)
- 1 mango (300 g) or one medium banana (150 g)
- Orange juice 500 ml
- Lemon juice ½ citrus fruit (35 ml)
- Ginger root 2 cm.
Put in a mixer 10’’
Pour into an ice cube tray and put in the fridge. It will go faster if the mango was from frozen cubes.
NB: It will remain a stick as long the temperature doesn’t go higher than 20° C.

@engineer Because no one even knows Peat outside a tiny, underground community.
Most people do not give a flying fuck about the details of what they are eating.
Welcome to the real world.

@LucH this sounds so good, I am going to have to try this as a smoothie first

Now, I would normally agree 100% with this, the same exact kind of ignorance happens in other technical subjects too, but there are these "David" protein bars heavily marketed to gym-type people. Their big claim is that they are only 150 calories for 30g of protein. This is because the "fat" they use isn't actually digestible by us. This COULD in fact be Peaty, since there is no actual digestible fat, but I don't like them because that "fat" doesn't just disappear and you know what happens next in our digestive systems. Plus, they're super mega expensive too. But David bars demonstrate the idea that you can have a "for technical people" product and not be a complete flop. The big issue remaining is how to market them. Keto/low-carb is all the rage right now and who wants something that is the opposite?

make your own, or market your own.
the only good finds in this area I've seen are granola w/ berries or chocolate baked in coconut oil with little pufa or extra junk. it's surprisingly good even though the base assumption is that oats and grains are too starchy for regular "bioenergetic" eating.gelatin and egg would probably be good bases for other flavors. sort of like those RX bars minus the nuts, pufa and weird additives.
