  1. I love healthy bars and I know you need protein so that would be a good to eat for a healthy snack. I would add less chocolate so it would be healthier. I learned that we have 9 accentual acids that our body needs to get and does not make. I have not tasted it yet but I think it will be amazing.

  9. I can't wait to try this. Isn't it interesting that your body can make some proteins? Though, your body can't make all proteins, so you do have to eat proteins. I am soooo exited to eat it. I bet it will taste awesome!

  10. I've liked every food we've made so far except for the juices. Every food had something that wasn't the best ingredient though.
