10 Bars (each)

Optional
8 Tsp        Fibersure
1 cup         Flax Seed (milled)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix.  Using your hand to mix will be easier than a spoon.  Fold the dry ingredients over the sticky ones.  Make sure the mixture has a stiff consistency, like cookie dough.  If you choose to add the optional ingredients you will need to add more applesauce to offset the dryness.  Cover the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking dish with plastic wrap and spread mixture in evenly.  Refrigerate for 30 minutes then cut into 10 equal pieces.  Wrap individually and store in the refrigerator.

**To make chocolate bars, substitute chocolate protein powder for vanilla and 1 cup of mini chocolate chips for dried fruit.    You can also substitute milk for the applesauce to change the nutritional value.
