Pomegranate Bars with Lemon Icing

Serves: 8

Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a nice relaxing weekend! I wanted to share with you a simple dessert that would make a great addition to your holiday dessert spread! This is perfect for those crazy wonderful relatives who, for some strange reason, are not a fan of pumpkin or apple desserts! Pomegranates are such a sweet fruit and do not get as much recognition as they should! I remember first eating them when I was a kid. My mom would bring them home from the store and I would watch her take out all the seeds so we could eat them! (Thanks for doing all that work mom!) However, now a days you can walk into the grocery store and buy packages of seeds! No mess! These beautiful seeds have a tangy, yet fruity flavor that is unlike any other fruit! If you haven’t tried them, this recipe would be the perfect way to try them out!

The verdict?! DE-LIC-OUS!! It had a great vanilla flavor from the protein powder that was balanced with the sweetness from the pomegranate seeds and the tang of the lemony icing! Sooo delicious! It was soft and really hit the spot on getting rid of my sweet craving! The recipe is so healthy you can eat it as a snack or even a sweet treat at breakfast (like me ;))!Plus the nutrition stats are so great you don’t have to feel bad if you decide to go back for a second third bar! ?
