Sounds like a very good recipe to me. But I have questions about the brown rice syrup. I've never heard of it before. More info and suggestions about using it please. Thanks. - 2/26/09

Brown rice syrup is the texture of honey or corn syrup, but doesn't taste quite as sweet and it has a lower glycemic index. You can find it in natural foods stores or sections of large groceries.

This sounds really good but what is stevia extract? I have never heard of it and I am pretty new to the healthy eating thing. - 11/14/08

Stevia is an herb, and the extract is very sweet. 1 tsp of stevia extract is approximately equal to 1 cup of sugar for sweetening power, so a little goes a long way. It can be found in many health markets or the health foods sections of major grocery stores.

The brown rice syrup and stevia are from a local bulk foods store and can probably be found at most health food stores. The protein powder can be found at GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, etc. I modified other recipes that I have seen to replace honey or sugar, and the protein is just there to add protein. :)
