That would be a very generous serving of a 1 inch by 9 inch bar. I’d probably cut the serving size almost in half, but I was guessing around 24 servings. But I’m sure many people would go for 2 helpings

Thank you very much for plugging the info in for us.

Nice recipe and I make something similar. Except I don’t use wheat flour or sugar or honey. I do use raisins, chopped unsweetened prunes and dark chocolate chips. Also I add protein powder to it to increase the protein content.
You can even try replacing sugar and honey with stevia!

Thanks,
Sasha

Yes we used raw honey, but not everybody has that in their cupboards. Next time we will see how it is with less brown sugar. Raisins are high in sugar, but there are such a small amount that it’s not bad at all.

Do you avoid fruit because it has sugar in it?

I don’t promote perfectionism. I am always taking steps to improve my nutrition. I follow my friends who live a raw food lifestyle and adopt some of what they do, but I’m not anywhere near the point of going 100% raw or even 80% raw.

This is not a complete meal. It may not have a lot of protein… but there is protein in it.

Will this recipe do nothing for fat loss? If that’s all that I ate all day long and didn’t exercise, and consumed more calories than I burn… No it wouldn’t do anything for fat loss.

But this is a snack. It’s an alternative to some of the packaged crap that’s much worse, and yes it is a healthier alternative. Are there healthier alternatives. Yes. But I bet that if you were to post a recipe someone else could come along and find an even healthier version.

We can’t have a total dogmatic approach and shoot down all other approaches that may not fit into our lifestyle. Once again, I’ll reference Mary’s wonderful response. That was a great approach and we can work together to spread other alternatives because she didn’t build a wall between us and say it has to be this way of the highway.

If you haven’t noticed, my wife and I have 6 pack abs, yet we can consume snacks like this and enjoy a chocolate bar and pizza. You’ve got to look at the entire picture and this snack is just a small piece of the puzzle and a much healthier alternative to commonly consumed snacks.

When I’m preparing healthy snacks I don’t obsess over protein, carb, and fat ratios. I eat incredibly well throughout the day and I will not stress over the natural sugar that’s in the small amount of raisins in this snack. I’m also not going to stress over the healthy fat in avocado’s in my salad.

I see where you are coming from Nicole, I just don’t care for your approach. That’s not the way to make a positive change in the world and encourage people to make a healthier choice. You need to work together with people, help them, and encourage them, not shoot them down.

I’m certainly open to hearing some healthier snack options from you that we can share with our readers. That would be awesome!

The nutritional value of this snack will be posted soon. By the way, the pan was 9 x 13 not 9 x 6.
