Try turmeric, that seems to have a light savory flavor.

Most things use a sweet-sticky binder, like honey or brown rice syrup or something. What could one use as a non-sweet binder? I make a curry snack mix that's *almost* savory, but it still uses a wee bit of honey to adhere the spices to the cereals. With curry, it works, but if there is a savory binder, I'd love to know what it is!

I guess you could always use the recipe and try some new flavors out. Let us know what you come up with : ) I may even try this myself. I already made the original recipe and it worked out great and they do taste just like cliff bars. The hardest part is shaping them into the bar while its still soft before they go in the fridge.

My favorite flavours are the Black Cherry Almond and the Oatmeal Walnut. But I still wish that they had some SAVORY flavours, because when I'm replacing a meal I don't usually want something sweet. Thanks for the link, I'll go check it out now. Maybe I can invent a savory version.

I love Cliff Bars. I have never noticed any funny aftertaste with them at all. Luna bars, however, have an odd taste I find.

And there is that funny medicinal aftertaste in some of the varieties... is that the soy? But I LOVE no bake cookies! So, I'll have to give this recipe a try before we go on our Redwoods camping trip in 10 days... Whoo Hoo, I'm so excited to be getting away! Hopefully, we won't drive 4 hours and arrive with all our gear to find the park closed and the bathroom/showers locked with no one to service them. Thanks alot, guvernator.

Read this report, particularly the second half. www.cornucopia.org (click on reports and then the soy report) Lynn Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:44:11 GMT http://herbalmedicine.tribe.net/thread/bcfb9663-cbcf-4ad4-a3c9-7acbbcdefa08#47e9cd87-ccc5-4909-81d9-c66084b32a59 Lynn 2009-07-02T15:44:11Z http://herbalmedicine.tribe.net/thread/bcfb9663-cbcf-4ad4-a3c9-7acbbcdefa08#4983e0bc-66de-4912-b314-b5c330e317b0 There's no wheat in Clif Bars.

Worth a try. These would make a great meal replacement if there is a lack of meat in your diet, there also portable and do not require baking.
