Pumpkin Protein Bars

Today's Mid-Morning "meal" was QUITE DELICIOUS!

Vanilla Chai tea with (4) Pumpkin Protein Bars. There were 4, but as soon as I put them on the plate, I couldn't help myself and devoured the first one immediately!

1 15oz. can of raw pumpkin

This nutritional fact sheet isn't exactly correct, The Daily Plate didn't have the exact ingredients that I used, but it's close enough and gives you an idea of the protein and calories-ish. I calculated it on my own and I got the squares to equal about 65 calories/square, as opposed to the 76 calories estimated in this nutritional sheet. But 10 calories off isn't THAT BIG of a deal. So just take that into consideration.
