A chewy, gooey, chocolatey, no-bake, dairy-free protein bar.

Warning! These bars are definitely gooey. I recommend having a napkin close by to discreetly wipe your hands after you finish it. When mytoddler ate one his whole face and hands were covered in a sweet, sticky mess afterwards, which he delighted in, of course.

You could use powdered egg whites to reduce the stickiness but the cost is expensive in comparison to a carton of pasteurized egg whites. So I think it’s worth putting up with a bit of gooeyness. Speaking of egg white, make sure to use a carton of pasteurized egg whites since this recipe is no-bake. You don’t want to risk food poisoning anyone with raw eggs!

a true copycat recipe

The front package of the RX bar gave me a good starting point since they pretty much spell out the recipe right there. Using that as a starting point and then tweaking the ingredients to match the nutrition info, I nailed the copycat! Check this out:

why this RX bar copycat recipe a smart choice

The protein in egg whites is high in what we call “biological value.” First: a little primer on proteins. Proteins are composed of different building blocks called amino acids. A good comparison is the alphabet. Words are composed of a specific order and combination of letters. Likewise, proteins are composed of a specific order and combination of amino acids. During digestion, proteins get broken down to amino acids. The body then uses these building blocks to make the proteins it needs: whether that be muscle tissue, hormones, or immune cells, etc.

So when a protein has high biological value, it contains a similar proportion of essential amino acids to what our body typically needs to use.

Additionally, each bar provides 2 tbsp of nuts. In the nutrition world, we are realizing more and more how much a daily serving of nuts can help prevent heart disease and other chronic conditions. If it were up to me, I’d consider includingnuts and seeds as a separate food group with its own daily recommendation!
