Grandma would approve of this bar. In fact, she could have baked
it. The moist, homemade quality of this cakelike treat shot it
to the top of taster's lists. Made with soy flour, malted corn
and barley, and sweetened with honey and grape juice, the bar
boasts a whopping 58 grams of carbohydrates and 16 grams of protein,
enough for two power-packed snack breaks or lunch. One tester
enthused that it's the only bar that "truly suffices as a
meal replacement."
