Hey Jamie! Thanks for the recipe, I am excited to try it! Do you have any more natural replacements for splenda? Have you heard anything about whey low? http://www.wheylow.com/ I was just looking around for a replacement and I stumbled upon it. I was curious about what you thought. Thanks!!
For all you guys living in the UK that are struggling with sugar issues! I have been buying xylitol from holland and barretts no problem. It tastes great in all Jamie's recipes !!! Mmmmmm
I have made this recipe twice now and the results are TRAGIC. It turns out really spongy and LOOKS like a sponge. When I went to the grocery store and was trying to look at the baby food applesauce it was really embarressing because there was a couple there with a baby shopping (and I have NEVER stepped foot down that isle before...) and the dad just kept looking at me. Thank god I had a shopping list and I realized he was staring at me (with NO baby...looking at baby food) and I made it look like I was on a quest for someone else or looking for something REALLY specific on my list. I was pretty mortified.... Second time around making this, I decided to do natural applesauce with no added sugar without the added embarressment as well. I think these are supposed to look fluffy but mine were nasty! Had to throw them away...Also, I agree with jacie244 about the Splenda and Crystal Light. I am not going to lie, I have used Splenda for a few months in some recipes because I live overseas and I was not able to purchase anything else. Now the United Kingdom is selling Truvia (just recently, as the Stevia Leaf was illegal here) so I was finally able to join that bandwagon!
okay, i'm a newbie on the site, but even i know *splenda* is not "clean". it's a bad, very bad, nasty, chemically-altered, manufactured ingredient.
the only thing i know about it, is that it causes all sorts of health problems for people, so that's not something i want to put in my healthy body.
what are other people's experiences?
Maybe my def of 'clean' is a little different? I've never heard of anyone refer to splenda as 'clean'.....but again...i come from a different nutritional and natural background.
I'll have to look around here some more to check out some other recipes, but i'm just kinda surprised, that's all.
I love the idea of these, and they look great, but they sure don't sound 'clean'....lol!
and....crystal light? that's not clean, either.
why not just use fresh-squeezed lemon juice and some zest -- yum!! all natural and the flavor from mother nature!
not sure about the "baby food" applesauce either!
most health-conscious moms who care about what goes into their babies bodies make their own 'baby food' -- so applesauce (which is for both babies and adults...lol)...again...should be homemade -- i mean -- it's just apples - nothing hard about that! chop 'em up, cook 'em up, add some FRESH lemon juice from a REAL lemon and viola! applesauce -- super clean! lol!
don't know of any moms who use store-bought 'baby food' actually. ;)
the rest looks fine....and i'm looking forward to trying it -- but making it truly "clean" and healthy. Real lemons and Real apples and Real clean from mother nature.
again, i'm new to this site in particular -- but have been eating what we call 'clean' for a very long time. so, this is kinda interesting. i am looking for some great new recipes and just happened upon this site, so i will look around some more. was just caught off guard by this one, using splenda, baby food and crystal light....lol!
i wonder if other fairly new folks to the site have the same sort of questions.
i'd be interested to hear...and i'll keep looking around in the meantime.
Jamie, these are AWESOME! However, I must admit that my "guilty pleasure" is the pumpkin protein bars omg those are amazing!! I also LOVE the cinnamon swirl bread and the carrot protein squares are great too. Thanks SO MUCH for devoting your life to learning such useful information and sharing it with us!
So glad you guys like them!! I've actually started adding 1/4 cup fat free cottage cheese or the non-dairy cottage cheese and it tastes amazing that way! Hope you'll try it sometime!

strawberry lemonade crystal light :)
actually cook and not fail at. They really help.
nutritional info is per serving, not for the entire
batch right?
