This makes a 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.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 20 Minutes
Here's How:

- In separate bowl, combine eggwhites, orange juice, applesauce, and the sugar-free syrup and blend well.
- Stir liquid mixture into dry ingredients until blended. The consistency will be thick and similar to cookie dough.

Tips:
- If you find you want a moister bar, use 1/2 cup of natural applesauce.

- 1 1/2 cups powdered non-fat milk
- 4 scoops low carb chocolate or vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup sugar-free maple syrup (Cozy Cottage, Cary's or Howard's)
