I've been looking for the right weight loss program or healthy eating plan to add to my practice. I want to offer something easy, attainable and realistic. I found a program that really works: meal replacement, low carb, high protein. There was just one problem. The meal replacements were loaded with additives and artificial ingredients. These foods would be ok for a once and a while situation, but I could not advocate for daily use. So, back to the drawing board I went.
One thing I really enjoyed about the meal replacement program, was the ease of use. I ended up in a routine of eating a breakfast bar with my black coffee every morning. There was no meal prep and no thought. I would just grab a bar along with my coffee in a travel mug to enjoy while I brought my kids to school. In a busy world, this is great. But I've always recommended real food to my clients. This was the complete opposite.
My idea: homemade meal replacements. For the next few weeks I will be trying out different homemade bars. There is some meal prep but you can make a bunch of these in advance, store them in the freezer and then grab and go.
Here is my first attempt and I must say these bars are absolutely delicious. I started with a google search and thought these bars looked interesting. I made slight modifications to increase the protein content. I store the bars in the freezer and thaw about 10 minutes before I want to eat.
