I've been getting a powdered mix from Loma Linda Market. It tastes salty but not

too. I repacked it so I don't have the label now.

 

Here's the breakdown on cottage cheese. I've never seen the dry curd product --

and below that is another RECIPE for powerbars. (Can't recall if we've seen yet

or not).

 

 

fat-sodium-daily 1/2 cup cottage cheese

 

4% 425mg 18% ( " creamed " )

2% 459mg 19% ( " reduced " )

1% 459mg 19% ( " lowfat " )

0% 299mg 12% ( " nonfat " )

0% 9mg 0% ( " drycurd " )

Remove the pan from the oven and brush the top with apricot jam. Cut into bars

NOTES : Ever take a look at what you're paying for the so called " power bars " in

the stores these days? Ever see what's in most of them? Fruits and grains -

nature's simplicity. So before you shell out another two, three or four bucks

for an 8 ounce bar, whip up a batch of these. They're incredibly easy to make,

and are loaded with the whole grains and chewy fruits that make a power bar so

satisfying. Make a double batch, so you can keep some fresh in a plastic

container, and freeze the rest for later.
