I didn't include it my made-up recipe, but you could certainly experiment with it and add the soy protein along with the dry ingredients. Let us know how they turn out.

I had one and made my morbidly obese husband eat one with a large glass of water 1/2 hour prior to dinner. So far, so good. He thought they were really good and loved the idea of dessert before dinner. Then I served chicken noodle soup. We both ate about 1/2 of what we would normally eat for dinner, leaving out the standard bread, crackers and beverage. Weird. The bars were very tasty, and I will definitely try adding combinations of ingredients to keep them interesting. I cannot wait to see if they make a difference in our eating habits and overall weightloss efforts. Stay tuned!

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:15:27 +0000 http://portion-control-diet.com/weightloss/?p=22#comment-36 GREAT RECIPE!!! Thank you so much! I have never had a full bar so I don't know how this compares but this recipe is awesome! I found your recipe while searching for unbiased reviews on the actual "full bar". I decided I would try your recipe and if it worked possible buy a full bar to compare...that's not going to happen! I am not going to waste money on a full bar when I can make your recipe that tastes wonderful! I am an avid baker so I am always looking for good tasting treats...this not only is good tasting but it fills me up like I had an entire meal! I couldn't believe it! I followed the recipe almost completely. I added less honey and I added a cup of dried cranberries which only added about 16 calories a bar. The cocoa is a great addition and I would suggest using it though it is optional. thanks again! GREAT RECIPE!!! Thank you so much!

While I don't have diabetes, being obese, I would like to keep it that. Agave Nectar is considered a low Glycemic Index food in that it does not spike your blood sugar. I used it in the first bars I made rather than using honey. I am researching alternative protein powders or liquids as I understand even whey protein "isolates" contain hidden MSG. Trying to do this all natural as much as possible. If I ever get something down pat that tastes good...HAS to be edible...I will share. Trying to match the 5 g of protein in the real Fullbars. Take care! Tammy Hi Katie and Jonni-
