About a month ago I had one of those ugggh moments. A good friend of mine had excitedly shared a new idea for on-the-go protein bars -- something low in sugar, high in protein, and satisfyingly kid-friendly. Yet, I snubbed her idea, passing it off as having too much sugar. The next week, when she visited again to pick up her milk share at our home, she brought me a sample of her newly concocted protein bar. Boy, was it good! So, I ate my humble pie, asked for forgiveness, and requested to borrow her idea and share this wonderful creation with you all.
