I'm not sure what to think about this bar...what do you think? At first glance it seems as if it is a healthy bar and for the most part it is, there seems to be healthy, pure ingredients in the bar. I guess my concern is the first two ingredients are sugar. My second concern is the amount of fat in the bar, seems a bit high to me. The sugar content could be better, but it also could be worse with grams in the 20's. Lastly, there does not seem to be very much protein if this was to be used as a meal replacement or maybe even a more filling bar. I guess when I look at this bar I say to myself...this is a healthy CANDY bar. My suggestion for a bar is to make your own bars and you can adjust the recipe to add addition protein, or take out some fat, etc. There are several "bar" and "ball" recipes on line that are super healthy!

I made these for my daughter as a healthier snack before gymnastics and she likes them. They are not overly sweet...which I like and they are more on the healthier side of some of the other bars out there. More important...they are made with LOVE!

ZOATS
A client passed this recipe on to me. When I heard what the ingredients were I wasn't too sure about how that would all come together, but it is very delicious and satisfying. It is also a great combination of protein, carbs and fat. I did not put fruit on mine, but the nut butter surprising brings all the flavors together!

Ingredients:
5 Egg Whites
1/2 Cup Oats
1 Shredded Zucchini
Combine ingredients in a bowl, stir and microwave for 2 minutes. Remove from microwave, stir and microwave for about 2 more minutes. Top with 1 tablespoon nut butter and blueberries.
