Pumpkin Spice ViBars



2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Honey
1 Cup Pumpkin
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Cups ViShape Protein Powder
1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour (I used rice flour)
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Pumpkin Spice
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cloves
1/2 Teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix all wet ingredients then add the dry. Pour into an 8x8 oiled baking pan, bake in a 350* oven for 25-30 minutes.  Let cool.

*Pictured with maple flavor cream cheese icing
mix 6 Tablespoons cream cheese, 2 Tbsp Vanilla NF Greek Yogurt and 1-2 Tablespoons SF Maple syrup.  Add confectioners sugar until a drizzle consistency reached.  You can make less at first, I have way more "drizzle" then I needed--AND the bars are moist and delicious with no drizzle too :)

BANANA MAPLE WALNUT VISHAKE


I decided to make this shake after an experiment the evening before when someone I know on Facebook was talking about a picture of some havalina and a comment about a bacon shake.  I made the bacon shake but was thinking that I love banana bread.  So here is what I came up with the next morning.  Adjust the syrup and pudding mix to your sweetness and creaminess/thickness preference.  Enjoy!

  • 1/2 frozen banana  
  • 2-3 scoops ViShape
  •  a few squirts of sugar free maple syrup
  •  1tsp or 2 of sugar free vanilla pudding mix
  • a couple walnut halves
  •  1 cup of nonfat milk or nondairy liquid of your choice
  • ice and blend
