Just wanted to share a recipe I've made a few times and the whole family loves... got it from Weight Loss SUrgery Cookbook for Dummies.

mix :

1/3 c instant oats

1 1/3 c Wheat Chex

2/3 c crispy brown rice Cereal (available in the gluten free section)

2/3 c sliced almonts

melt :

1/2 c natural creamy Peanut Butter

1/3 c honey in a saucepan... it doesn't have to boil, just get hot all the way through.

Remove from heat and add 1/4 tsp butter flavoring.

Pour over cereal mixture and mix well, press into an 8" square pan sprayed with cooking spray and let cool. Cut into 8 bars. Wrap each bar in saran wrap and they're good for a week... but they won't last that long in my house. I have the calories and everything else at home... I will update. I remember it's 6 g of Protein and I think around 200 calories. An easy and delicious way to get in your whole grains for the day and the kids LOVE THEM.

I've been using a little more peanut butter and honey as it just wasn't enough to make it all stick together well, maybe just an extra tablespoon or two.

They're crunchy and sweet, I haven't had any trouble getting or keeping them down. And I love having these on hand for a snack or Breakfast for the kids... no bad stuff in it!

Yum! I'm still in liquid pre-op so obviously anything sounds good to me These sound versatile like you could put anything in them - mini chocolate chips, other nuts, dried fruit, whatever! Thanks for the idea

These sound absolutely delicious. Do you happen to know what the carb count is?

Probably something outrageous. Lots of grains here. They sound yummy but I'll stick to something a bit-less carb filled.
