Since I've joined and made my first couple posts, I've been lurking around a bit a noticed that there are not many topics about our diets. I have candida, (or some type of bacteria in my mouth, not sure if it's yeast or something else), so I really have to watch my carb/sugar count. I've recently gotten hooked on these things called Quest Bars. They are gluten free, sugar free, low carb protein bars, that just taste HEAVENLY. I can't get enough of them. The amount of protein in them also fills me up and keeps me going for a while. The catch is that they are about $2.50 per bar. So I found a homemade recipe for them. Here are some links...

Quest Website : www.questnutrition.com/protein-bars/

Homemade Verson : www.busybuthealthy.com/homemade-quest-protein-bars/

I usually buy a box of the bars, and make them last a long time by eating only 2 or 3 a week (when I'm in a crunch of time). Then on other days when I have time, I'll just make the homemade version, they taste just as good.

You can even make cookies out of these bars! /snapguide.com/guides/make-quest-bar-cookies/

I can't even explain to you how good these are, my first bite of one almost brought me to tears. :-)

A great idea! Thank you for posting, Necer!

People are following such a wide variation of diets, that it's hard to keep up with posting recipes - but that sure doesn't mean that when we find a really good one - or are really stuck and in need of some - we can't post about it!!

I made homemade version of Lara bars when I was on a very strict diet to determine what foods I was allergic to. They can be very tasty! The main ingredient in Lara bars are dates!

I had never heard of this VitaFiber. Thanks for the recipe.

Super high in protein and what a good way to start off the day.

Thanks again.

I used to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Quest bars and bought them by the boxes! They were terrific for getting my protein and fiber in, especially when I was too exhausted to make food.

Sadly, they changed their formula last year and do not taste the same. I quit buying them. (I guess that was a good thing since I can use the money for Lyme tx now, lol!) I've seen the homemade recipe before and would love to try it, but I still don't have enough energy to make anything in the kitchen cry If I do, it's this "cheesy" kale chips recipe that I put in the dehydrator. minimalistbaker.com/30-minute-cheesy-kale-chips/
