I often get emails asking how to boost protein intake throughout the day, so I wanted to share a quick low-tech/high effect recipe that takes less than 2 minutes to put together that address this problem directly. One bite of these apples and you’ll slap yourself for going through life up until this point without them.
Now on to the free stuff!
My review of the Quest Protein Bars (check it out here) was a big hit, and for good reason: they taste like love feels. I don’t want to keep all the yum yums to myself though, so I’m going to randomly send readers a bar from my own private stash until they’re all gone – my loss is your delicious gain!

Let me know what you think of this recipe!
Great recipe Rog – gonna try it out later today!
Thanks Matt!
The recipe looks great, if only there were a way I could figure out how to eat an apple on this crazy diet my trainer has me on =)
Man, your trainer sounds like a real turd muffin, but I can also tell by your description of him that he most likely is one of the most handsome men on the planet.
Awesome video Roger. Love the bars too, waiting to place an order haha.
I highly recommend that you try out the mixed berry flavor – it reminds me of captain crunch!
Thanks for the post Roger. Gonna whip some of these up later for a little snack.
Whip it…whip it good.
Sounds good – going to give this a try!!
Warning: Highly addictive and if left to your own devices you may spend 100% of your income on apples, cinnamon and protein powder. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you!
Great recipe Rog, can’t wait to try this…love how you demonstrated the major yum on the nom noms.
I try to do what I can do when I can do it =)
Great idea, Roger! Now I have something to do with all those apples I picked this month…
If you have any left overs, you know who to call.
Which Quest bars have you tried? I’ve tried chocolate and PBJ and they’re pretty awesome.
I’ve tried apple pie, vanilla almond crunch and mixed berry. I’m going to be doing a review of the cinnamon roll flavor they’re developing very soon. If it follows in the trend of all the other bars, this might be the last post you read because I’ll die from awesome overload.
Hey I already commented on the YouTube vid of this but luckily I got to use this trick tonight and it was BANGIN!
Of course I also added splenda to the mix to satisfy my inner (chubby) child ;D
NOMNOMNOM
NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM!
LOL! I love that video! I can’t believe that isn’t something I’ve tried before, it seems like a great thing to grab on the go.
I tried Quest bars once before and I was really surprised! They were a lot better than I anticipated for a commercial protein bar.
They’re an awesome tasting snack, and they keep me away from the Cinnabons so that’s a big plus.
What flavor bar did you end up trying?
I like apples. I like cinnamon. I like protein. win, win, win!
And there you have it, folks, the first documented case of Tri-Winning.
Hey Rog,
simple yet delicious, nice !!!
why you cut of the top of your head in the vid?
you need a haircut ???
No way im gettin a bar sent to Scoland anyway LOL
Keep up the good work, cheers Mark
My barber sucks!
You never know…that bar might survive the epic trip to Scotland.
I’m going to try that big bag of awesome tomorrow. And I can do the two apples since it’s high calorie day. Double win!
You’re gonna love the hell out of these!
Good idea!! I’m always looking for ways to include more fruit and protein in my diet.
Great recipe!
So simple.
So smart.
Aaaand can’t wait to try the protein bars
Free or not
Thanks for stopping by, Tami! The names go into the hat tomorrow, so that bar might be coming your way sooner than you think.
Rog,
I love it. Sometimes I get so sick of eating pretty, much the same thing every day. This is one of the most inventive ways to increase your protein intake that I have seen. Nice work.
Niko
Glad you love it, Niko. I wish I weren’t a creature of habit, but I can eat the same things forever and ever until the end of time (as long as they taste good), so I’m glad to have something delicious to add into the mix.
Apple slices I will be doing this Nom Nom Nom Nom and if you get in the way it’s your own fault.
Tried it with Pink Lady apples in Australia, the sweetness of the apple with the m
Pink lady apples…this sounds like a very class and refined apple. I like it!
Awesome idea! I’m going to get apples tomorrow on the way to the gym I work at – I’m going to call a little staff meeting to try these out. Great idea man!
Thanks, Matt!
Lemme know the results of this most important of meetings. If anyone doesn’t approve, you must slay them.
Hey Rog,
I shared your link on the FB page for my dorky fashion blog (I update the FB page, but haven’t actually blogged since I started grad school… I am a bad blogger, I am shamed)….
I thought that I recognized a familiar face wearing all this trendy clothing =) Thanks for sharing!
Rog,
I tried those quest bars and I have to say they were DELICIOUS and not full of all that crap you find in the others that you can’t pronounce…
Word up, John. But don’t you love a little trisexapsycholipatoids in your protein bars?
Rog Law is loved by my funny bone. No homo
Can I have it?
i would never have thought of doing a shake-n-(no)bake with apples… well done! can’t wait to try it.
Love this recipe idea! I’m going to try it this week. Thanks for sharing!
Man, you rock.
I’m at work right now but I’ll give it a try when I arrive home. Looks very delicious.
I’m considering to try this with black grapes and watermelon also, as I like this combination better (black grapes and cinnamon rocks)
I’ll drop a comment in the evening.
I literally watched that with my jaw on the ground and drooling at the same time.
Looks like a pretty good snack to try out for sure though. Oh, and it’s obvious that you’ve done that quite a few times with the way you were shaking the bag. I was waiting for you to drop it but it never happened. =P
My shaking skills are unmatched in this sector of the universe!
I hope those delicious sounding apples were from New Zealand.
I would like to see a re-make of that video that
a) enables the top half of your head to be seen, and
b) employs your kiwi accent.
Christine!
You know what? I think they were =)
In one of my future videos, I will definitely meet not just one, but all two of your requests AND I might just wear a funny hat.
That is the best news I have had all day.
OMG!! This sounds so wonderful that I am going to buy some apples tonight! You got the magic, MFP. For sure. I was getting bored with my protein shakes and this should be a nice change or an added boost of protein to my day.
I’m glad you like it =)
