Quest Bar Protein Donut Recipe

Here a simple recipe for a high protein, low carb and all natural donut using a Quest Bar. I used the Quest Coconut Cashew flavor which you can get here: http://www.704nutrition.com/Dr-Oz-Quest-Natural-Protein-Bar-Coconut-Cashew-p/6340011.htm (use Coupon Code QUEST for $4 off).

Donut Ingredients:
- 1 Quest Coconut Cashew bar

Icing Ingredients:
- 1/2 Tablespoon Cream Cheese
- 1/2 Tablespoon Almond Milk (Coconut or regular milk would be good too)
- 1 Teaspoon Natural Sweetener (Stevia, Chicory Root, etc)
- Thickener as needed (Coconut powder, vanilla protein powder, psyllium husks, etc)

Toppings:
- Crushed Coconut Chips
- Decorative Sprinkles

Microwave Quest bar for 10 to 15 seconds. You want it soft enough to form into donut shape. Bake the the bar for 4-7 minutes at 350. While it's baking whip up the icing by combining all ingredients until you have the consistency of icing. Pull the donut out, let cool, apply icing and toppings, devour right away or put in the refrigerator for later. The crushed coconut chips were a great addition. They are addictively delicious but also provided a nice little crunch too.
