My daughter and I made lemon protein bars today, and they are sooo good. I am usually not much of a baker nor do I really like cakes all that much but this recipe is really healthy and super moist. I got this recipe from Jamie Eason, a fitness model and spokesperson for bodybuilding.com, and I think it will feel any cake "void" you may be having:) It makes 16 bars and 2 = 1 serving.

I didn't think to take a picture until after Ivy and I ate one for our snack:) Try it and let me know what you think. I know it is made with Splenda, but if you eat these types of desserts every once in a while that will kill those cravings and still be loaded with nutrition you will be okay... far better than a candy bar or soda!
