Hey Cookieguy, I don't know how long it's been around but I've been noticing in the news lately that there's something called the "cookie diet". They say it consists of 5 high protein cookies which are to be eaten throughout the day when you're hungry. Which got me to thinking, have you ever tried to make a trail mix style cookie or a dense "clif bar" style cookie that you could use as a meal replacement?
Hey...that's a pretty good idea! I'll have to do some research on what high-protein stuff would have to go into a meal replacement bar. Nuts, certainly. But I wonder what else... Stay tuned!
That "cookie diet" has been around for years and I've tried it. The cookies are HORRIBLE! It'll be easy to improve on them!

Probably a protein powder or additional egg white in the batter.
I would use whey powder over soy.

Ground flax seed would be good addition.
