Before I started eating clean my favorite candy was Sour Patch Kids and if you are like me and crave that "sweet & sour" taste...try these protein bars!
Lemon Protein Bars

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 5-6 oz lemon juice (I usually squeeze fresh lemons. You can use more or less depending on how "lemon-y" you want them.)
- 4 egg whites
- 1/3 cup Stevia in the Raw
- 8 oz applesauce baby food
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix the following together in a large bowl:
- Oat Flour
- Salt

3. Mix the following together in a small bowl:
- Lemon Juice
- Egg Whites
- Stevia in the Raw
- Baby Food
4. Combine the ingredients from the small bowl into the large bowl & mix together.
5. Spray an 8X8 dish (I use Pyrex) with non-stick spray & add the batter to the dish.

He & She Tips: Jamie Eason has suggested to take out half of the applesauce and add fat free cottage cheese instead. Another variation is to use all quick oats instead of oat flour. Store these in the refrigerator or freezer since they do not have preservatives & will spoil if left out.
