No Bake Vegan Lemon Slice

This no bake lemon slice recipe will rock you! We’ve taken a classic Aussie treat and made it into a high protein and vegan friendly snack. Made in no time, it’s simply delicious.

We’re passionate about food being guilt free. As a result, we added some protein powder to the base of this lemon slice and went with sweeteners that have a low glycemic index. That way, you don’t crash and burn after consuming this deliciousness.

You may need to make your xylitol powdered. You can do this in your Thermomix or blender on a high speed.

Whilst we can’t say this is gluten-free due to the main flour being oat, we can say that gluten intolerant individuals usually tolerate oats. The great thing about oats is that it is abundant in something called beta-glucans: a dietary fibre which forms a thick gel within the digestive tract and absorbs cholesterol, preventing it from being absorbed into the body. Oats are an excellent food for those with elevated cholesterol.

Our lemon slice is sweetened with rice malt syrup which has an incredibly low glycemic index, making it a healthier option.

The combination of protein powder and almond butter provide you with a blend of amino acids and trace minerals, as well as providing sustained energy by stabilising blood sugars.

Xylitol contains 40% less calories than table sugar. Xylitol is non fermentable and does not feed acid-forming oral bacteria, making it excellent for oral hygiene and preventing tooth decay. It has a negligible effect on blood sugar and insulin secretion, and has a low glycemic index. In addition, several animal studies suggest xylitol improves bone density!
