    Yes, you can! It will change the taste and texture but it should work.


  • Jessica Andreasen

    Low would be a speed 1 or 2 and we used old fashioned rolled oats but you can also use quick oats. Happy blending!

    Can I substitute Dates for the honey?


  • Alice

    Can I substitute Stevia for the honey in the Almond Joy bites. I can’t do all that much honey. or sweetener. Any thoughts?


  • Terry

    Can I use almonds instead of cashews in the Lemon Blueberry Bites? Or peanuts? I generally avoid cashews…
    Can’t wait to try them!
