     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

     Pretty good flavor but really high in carbs! - 9/28/10

     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 see some people posting about the high fat/carbohydrate content of this Protein Bar. You have to understand that there are good fats and bad fats, as well as good carbs and bad carbs. They are not all created equal. The bars will only be as good as the quality of the protein powder you buy. - 1/6/14

     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 can't wait to try these. Maybe I will finally get all of my protein in daily. - 9/28/10

     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/store/opt/natw

     These are really good. I love making these with other bars for Hubby when he goes on the road for Trucking. - 8/23/19

     I probably won't make these as I am trying to hold back on the carbs and calories. But they do look good. - 6/6/19
