Suz, I want to make these but I'm not on either one of those ways of eating. I just need to replace egg sub. and protein powder or the Atkins bake stuff. So, if I replace egg sub. with 2 real eggs, (or shoud it be one) that would work, right? What do I replace the protein powder or Atkins bake mix with?

Do the Atkins version with the 5 eggs. Then you can just use regular jello and maybe add another a half a cup of regular sugar unless you like them tart. For the crust you can substitute the Atkins bake mix with a yellow or lemon cake mix.
