Sweet Potato Protein Bars

 





     What do you get when you combine power with the perfect tuber!?  May I introduce Sweet Potato Protein Bars, thank me later…or right now works too.  These all natural single ingredient wonders are waiting for any breakfast, any day of the week.  Not to mention, pre or post workout fueling.  Each of the 9 pieces are only 140 calories, 6.7g carbs, 1.6g fiber, 5.1g net carbs, 11.4g protein, and 7.2g fat.  A hint of sweetness in every bite, followed by a punch of protein to round out this super food.  :)

Ingredients for 9 servings~

1 medium/large Sweet Potato (at least one pound)

2 extra large Eggs

3/4 cup Egg Whites

2 scoops Quest Vanilla Protein Powder

1/2 cup Almond Flour

1/4 cup chopped Walnuts

1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

1 teaspoon Vanilla

     Rinse and remove any dead spots off your Sweet Potato, prick a few times with your knife or fork, wrap in aluminum foil, rest in aluminum foil covered pan, bake at 375 for 90 minutes, remove and scrape out one cup of flesh, add to mixing bowl along with rest of ingredients, reserve a few of the nuts to garnish on top if desired.  Add batter to 8x8 or 9x9 parchment lined pan, sprinkle with reserved nuts, bake at 350 for 25 minutes, remove, slice in 9 pieces, store leftovers in fridge.  Enjoy. :)
