What was the author thinking? This book uses a strange font and tiny print. It isn't very good. To read on an iPad, I had to enlarge and shrink each page. The author also posted the ingredients (for each recipe) in a light-brown tint. This made the ingredients virtually unreadable for my older eyes.

Another issue was the large number of unique ingredients needed for these protein bars. To make them, the reader must buy a new selection of ingredients. Does your home already have -- almond butter, almond milk, liquid stevia, almond flour, coconut flour, oat flour, peanut flour, organic brown rice protein powder (a must), organic grass-fed whey protein powder, psyllium husk powder, etc.? This is only a partial list of the ingredients needed. In other words, these treats require a hefty investment in products the reader may not like after making the protein bars.

On the plus side, the author offers dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan substitutions. That is amazing. The author also proves that her protein bars are significantly less expensive than purchased bars. There are lots of photos to show the construction of the treats. There are also nutritional facts for each recipe.

I don't eat protein bars often. Because of the long list of ingredients needed, I decided these were not worth my time to make.
