You might look into PB2. It's powdered peanut butter, can add nice flavor and some protein without being sticky in your recipe, and it's low-fat compared to regular PB. Probably not enough protein on its own, but maybe a nice ingredient for your bars.

Just some info re: Protein Powder. My DH was using it in his morning VitaMix drinks. He had some lab tests done & one of the tests came back with a concern. When he told the Dr. he was using Protein Powder, she told him to stop. He did & redid the test which came back in normal ranges. She told us you can get the same amount of protein, vitamins etc. in a regular glass of milk. Hope this helps. Just because it says Protein Powder, does not make it the best thing for you.

I agree with powdered milk as the simplest cheapest, but all that work seems complicated for what is basically a candy bar?
Why not drink a cup of milk or eat a hard boiled egg before you sit down with your coffee? Cut out the middle man so to speak

You can purchase protein powder at Walmart in the drug store area & Meringue Power there where they have the Wilton cake supplies or any craft store in the same area . Two Tablespoons of Meringue Powder equals 1 egg white . It is also used to make Buttercream icing . Haven't heard anything negative about egg whites yet .

I use whey protein powder. I chose it over soy only because at the time I had mold in my house and it helps kill the mold that could be in my system. I talked to my specialist and he said either soy or whey were good. If you have a health food check with them. I buy mine at the military exchange, so much cheaper than the health food store. I'd just research them. I try to only buy vanilla because then I can change the flavor to anything that I want. They didn't have it this time so I got cookies n cream, close enough to vanilla
