Serves: 16
Total Calories: 3

Ingredients

1 package (1 pound 0.5 ounces) lemon bar mix
juice of 1 whole lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
1/2 cup vanilla-flavored protein powder
1 8-ounce container fat-free, cholesterol-free egg product
powdered sugar, if desired

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°. Press dry crust from lemon bar mix in bottom of square pan (8 x 8 x 2 or 9 x 9 x 2 inches). Bake 10 minutes.

2. Add enough water to lemon juice to equal 1/2 cup. Place filling from lemon bar mix and protein powder in large bowl. Stir in egg product and lemon juice mixture with wire whisk until smooth. Pour filling over hot crust.

3. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until top just begins to brown and center is set. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. For bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.

Anne R. shares her Recipe "The best diet for me includes small meals and enough protein to help me heal and feel good during treatments. I use protein powder to boost the protein in foods that I can eat, as in these lemon bars. For a zestier lemon flavor, I add grated lemon peel to the filling."

A NOTE from DR. GHOSH
These bars are a great snack or mini-meal when you are on the go! A daily dose of light exercise for 30 minutes can help combat your fatigue and lift your spirits.
