TVP or TSP (textured vegetable protein or textured soy protein) is my new favorite thing. Here's a little video on what TVP is, why it's great, where you can find it, and how to use it. And here's the recipe for those bars I mentioned: *Sweet & Chewy TVP Bars* - 3 cups fortified unsweetened almond milk - 6 tbsp maple syrup - 4 tbsp ground flax - 12 tsp Splenda (or other low-calorie sweetener)* - 4 tsp vanilla extract - 3 cups dry TVP - 2 cups chopped walnuts - 2 cups dried cranberries - 1.5 cup rolled oats - 1 cup whole wheat flour 1. Warm the almond milk in the microwave for about 90 seconds. 2. Mix the milk, maple syrup, flax, splenda, and vanilla in a large bowl. 3. Add the TVP and mix until it has soaked up some of the liquid (about 1 minute). 4. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well-incorporated, adding more almond milk if it is too dry to spread onto a baking sheet. 5. Spread evenly onto a greased nonstick lipped baking sheet. (parchment paper should work instead of oil if you prefer). 6. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes. Let cool and cut into bars.** Makes 16 huge bars at about 300 calories each. Store in the fridge. *These aren't super sweet so you may want more sweetener. **If you like a chewier texture, flip the bars and bake for another 30 minutes.
