Karma swears by Nature’s Path Organic Smart Bran Cereal it is a subscribe and save staple on Amazon for years. With 17g of fiber it is an important part of her GI protocol. But not every one is a fan of eating fiber cereal every day, so making alternative muffins or bars can be a helpful offering for other family members who may want to increase their fiber intake. These moist bars have a soft brownie consistency but are low fat and minimal sugar. By placing a few chocolate chips on the top before baking, it gives the look and feel of something decadent and your taste buds hit the sweet morsel first making it a delightful mouth feel. We cook these on a 16″ x 24″ baking pan. With one serving being 4″x6″ square.

Place your egg whites, banana and apple slices (removing the core, but keeping the peel) .. in your vitamix or food processer and blend until smooth. Our vitamix was big enough to add the four cups of milk also. Add your wet ingredients to your dry and mix with a wooden spoon.
