Hi,
I made these last weekend from a recipe I found online and was so awesomely surprised! These are amazingly good, moist, and low calorie, carb, sugar, but packed with protein! I am listing the original recipe found at: http://www.naturalandbalanced.com/2011/10/21/pumpkin-protein-bars-low-carb-sugar-free-grain-free/

I think the calories will vary depending on which protein powder you use, mine ended up being only 65 calories apiece. They come out a little more cake-like than bars, but so so good. Enjoy!:drinker: :flowerforyou:
