Changed a few things for convience as well as personal preference, but not enough, I think, to change a great tasting bar! I used the regular protein powder I had on hand, omitted the blueberries (although I had them) & used 1/2 cup of dried tart Fuji apple chunks, as well as 1/2 cup of dried pineapple! Everything else was as listed! Thanks for sharing ~ Your bars are OUTSTANDING! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's Pick-A-Chef]
