Awesome Pumpkin Protein Bars



Recommended Posts

Heres my criteria for Protein bars:

- more grams of protein than carbs

- no added sugar

- low in fat

- under 150 cal

- gluten/grain free

- 17 grams protein per bar

pumpkin Protein Bars

makes 9 bars

gluten/grain free, sugar free, low in carbs and calories, and of course high in protein!

4 TBS coconut flour

3/4 cup vanilla Protein powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice to your preference [i used 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 t of p.p spice]

1 teaspoon baking powder

pinch of salt

6 egg whites

1 cup pumpkin puree

1.5 t vanilla extract

stevia to taste [ I used fresh vanilla bean]Mix dry ingredients in a bowl (flour –> salt).

Mix wet ingredients in separate bowl (egg whites, pumpkin, vanilla, stevia).

Add wet to dry.

Spray 8×8 pan, and bake for 30 minutes at 350F

Love it!! I know whats going into the bar, and I can control the sugar amount. In this case: none!

After cooling in the pan, I cut into 9 bars, wrapped them up and put them in the fridge so they last for the week. If you try these let me know how they come out!

Love this. Will be trying soon. I made lo-carb crepes last night. Whoa, buddy. Also made them for the family & put jelly on top of theirs! My son said, "Mom, these are as good as IHOP!" Guess he couldn't tell they were healthy!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
