I used strawberry protein powder, 60% dark choco chips, I used 1/2c walnuts, 1/4 c flax seeds, and pumpkin not banana. Melted the rest of the chocolate poured half in the pan froze 10min then the bar mix then the rest of the melted choco. 276 cal/bar Hoping the melted choco keeps the bars together! - 1/6/13
I'm IN LOVE with these bars! I used Light Agave, chunky PB, dried mangoes and pineapples, and dark choc chips...SO GOOD!!! Definately keep stored in the freezer...didn't do that last night and they were gooey (still yummy) this morning. I would suggest adding 1/4 cup more oats maybe? THANK YOU!!! - 6/28/12
I used a raw, dark honey made from buckwheat, it added a strong flavor to it. Probably won't do that again. Not bad, but not exactly delish either. I would not add cinnamon again, didn't quite go with the other flavors. Other than that, pretty good. I'm also going to omit the coconut next time. - 1/29/12
though you may not find this bar totally amazing in flavour, look at the protein vs. carb vs. calori... the rest of these recipes have high carbs( SUGAR = FAT, look at info in choco bars,I bet it's not far from those other bars).Want protein - this is the only bar! try using sugar free syrups maybe - 10/17/11
I loved this recipe. It was easy to make, tasty, and didn't fall apart as badly as many other homeade bars I have tried. One thing though, It is certainly not vegan. Whey protein is most often an animal product making it vegetarian but highly off limits to vegans who avoid animal by products - 4/6/11
Thanks for the heads up! I am not vegan, but adapted the recipe from Avery's blog using vanilla whey protein, since that's what I have on hand; she uses a Brown Rice Raw Vegan protein powder in the original recipe- easy substitution. Thanks!
Oh my goodness! I feel like I am eating a candy bar when I consume these bars! They are amazing! I have to keep telling myself it is made of health! I will be making these time and time again! Thank you for posting this recipe.. - 3/1/11
