Protein Bars

Grant and I have been trying to eat healthier lately, and this is one of the good recipes that I have found.  The pumpkin protein bar was my remake recipe that I had tweaked, but the others below were taken from here. I hope you enjoy, and on the link provided, Jamie shows you how to prepare with a video if you are confused on anything.
