TRY THIS MEAL REPLEACEMENT ITS SO GOOD
Makes 10 bars
A nice meal replacement bar at a mere fraction of the cost of packaged protein bars and none of their glycerin, preservatives, or sugar, these low-fat bars are rich in fiber and taste great with a light spread of natural peanut butter across the top. Served with a protein drink, they make a well-balanced meal.

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups quick oats

1 1/2 cups powdered non-fat milk

1 cup sugar-free (diabetic) pancake syrup (Cozy Cottage, Cary's or Howard's brand)

2 egg whites, beaten

1/4 cup orange juice

1 tsp Vanilla

1/4 c. natural applesauce*

4 scoops chocolate or vanilla protein powder

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325°. Mix all dry ingredients in bowl and blend well. In separate bowl, combine eggwhites, orange juice, applesauce, & the sugar-free syrup and blend well. Stir liquids into dry ingredients until blended. The consistency will be thick and similar to cookie dough. Spread batter on baking sheet coated with non-stick spray. Use a 9x12 baking dish if you want a thicker bar. Bake until edges are crisp and browned. Cut into 10 bars and store in airtight container or freeze.

*If you find you want a moister bar, add a little more applesauce to the recipe for softness.



**The brand of protein used in this recipe contained 200 calories, 4 g carb, 44 g protein, 2 g fat, and 2 g fiber. Use your low-carb whey of choice.

Kitchen Tip- Lowfat Baking: Did you know you can replace the oil in a recipe

with an equal amount of applesauce? Applesauce will add the same moisture of fat but not the added calories and it won’t alter the flavor.
