SHAKEOLOGY PROTEIN BAR

-1 cup oat flour, if you can't find oat flour just grind up oatmeal in your coffee grinder or food processor (that's what I did)
-1 scoop Shakeology, chocolate or greenberry
-1 tbsp ground flaxseed (if you can't find it or don't have it, omit it...if you have it whole, use your coffee grinder)
-1 tbsp wheat germ (if you can't find it or don't have it, omit it)
-1/4 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-2 tsp cinnamon
-1/8 tsp nutmeg
-3 egg whites
-3/4 cup sweetner, like splenda or some other sugar substitute (I used a generic brand)
-1/2 cup ricotta cheese
-2 jars of baby food carrots, find one that has the least amount of carbs

1) Preheat oven to 350
2) Spray a 8x8 backing dish or pan
3) In a large bowl mix the flour/oatmeal, shakeology, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, flaxseed, and wheat germ
4) In a smaller bowl whisk the egg whites and sweetener until foamy and disolved
5) Add the ricotta cheese and baby food and whisk until well blended
6) Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and whisk until well blended
7) Pour into prepared baking dish and bake for 20-26 minutes...or until it's set

Now next time I make these I'm going to try adding a tbsp of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients....feel free to do this.

This recipe will make 16 bars and you can have two as a serving....enjoy after your workout or as a healthy snack!
