    These came out so good! The second time I made them I grated fresh carrots and added 1/4 cup coconut to add a little more texture and they were awesome! I brought them to work and my friends loved them. - 4/20/12

    Wow, just made this and it turned out a lot better than what I expected! Best protein cake ever, so moist! I used 230g of boiled carrots, mashed, 1 full egg=2 egg whites and added 50g chopped walnuts for some texture. Yumm!! - 3/14/15

    These are really good and sure beat store bought ones. I used fresh carrots. Shredded them cooked 1/2 until soft then added half raw. I used some quick oats and made flour in my food processor. - 2/26/15

    I made this the first time and baked it in 8 X 8 pan. It was OK but a little gummy. The next time I used a 9 X 12 pan and they were great. Topped with some crushed pecans. Even my husband ate them. He doesn't even like carrots. - 10/21/16

    They are a little rubbery and have a bit of an aftertaste due to the artificial sweetener. Still, they are good, and I like the amount of protein per bar. Good use of whey protein powder!

    I liked these a lot. I used 8 oz of pureed (in the food processor) carrots and it worked just fine. - 7/26/13

    These were really good! Next time I might try adding more carrots just to taste them a bit more. My vanilla protein powder overpowered them a bit. - 8/29/11
