    Yum!! These are great- I recommend covering the bottom of the pan with wax paper, as they come out soft and sticky. I love how versatile the recipe is- you can substitute whatever you have on hand for the sunflower seeds, etc. I added walnuts, dried cherries and a few mini chocolate chips. - 8/20/09

    I doubled the recipe and added some ground flax, bee pollen & almonds and did not have any dried fruit to put in.
    they are not hard yet but I"m eating it anyways.
    They are pretty good.

    I was thinking of buying some protein powder. Now I have a reason.
    The article on flax said not to cook it. - 9/28/10

    looks like just what I was looking for to avoid the high cost of protein bars in the store, can adjust by adding fruit to keep it different - 9/28/10

    Sounds good, but, for me - high calories and high fat. I really try to watch this in everything I eat. That's about half a meal for me. No thanks. The only thing I might use this for is to take as a snack on a long motorcycle ride. - 9/28/10

    It could be that there is more protein powder in my scoops than in the original poster's... but my batch turned out very dry and very protein powdery tasting. For the amount of calories I consumed, I want to at least 'like' it. Sorry for the bad rating, just my experience. I threw the rest away. - 9/28/10

    I just can't allow myself to eat so little volumne with so many calories and fat. I need and want to eat a larger volume of food to get those kind of calories... I would go for a turkey wrap with 45 calories where I can eat several of them. - 9/29/10

    I think it's an excellent protein bar. I mixed everything together in my food processor which worked well, but needed to add a little more water. They are very sticky so will try the wax paper on the bottom of the pan next time. - 9/28/10

    For those looking for protein powder, the one recommended to me from several sources and what I received in today is http://www.bodybuilding.com/st
    ore/opt/natwhey.html. Supposed to have a good Consumer Reports rating. This recipe looks easy and delicious. I will definitely be trying it. - 9/28/10

    Not easy to take on the run as they are so sticky. Good flavor but overall, I'll probably stick w/ a different recipe that is more travel friendly. :) - 5/19/11

    I want to try these - I love the convenience of the other store brands but I hate the soy derived proteins... this way, I can control for that - and maybe even try other healthful add-ins that my son might not notice (like flax seed??). - 10/26/10

    My husband and I both love this! I used hemp protein powder for more fiber and then added cocoa powder for the chocolate. You will need to add some agave syrup or honey to make it sweet enough(because of the cocoa powder) Adding lots of dried fruit helps too...I used chopped dates,dried blueberries - 9/28/10

    When you talk about protein powder, what does that mean? the kind used by body builders? Why so little fiber? Should be a way to bulk up fiber? - 9/28/10
