You could substitute carob chips. Carob chips are made out of carob powder. They are similar in appearance and texture to chocolate chips, although the taste is distinctly different from that of chocolate.

I use the light olive oil for cooking and it does great. You can also use sesame oil.

I agree about the website. Most frustrating I’ve encountered.
I’m looking for a healthy whole food protein bar. i’ve yet to find one I think would be considered ”legal”. Any suggestions?

I found the a small bottle of the flax oil at our local Harris Teeter. I don’t know where you live, so don’t know if you have that grocery, but it compares to Kroger and Lowe’s.
