High-Fiber, High-Protein Breakfast Bars
"I came up with this recipe when my doctor told me I needed to eat more fiber, and I was sick of eating store-bought protein bars for breakfast in the car between the gym and work. Ingredients such as wheat germ, flaxseed, protein powder, peanut butter and oats make this a healthy way to start the day!"
