  3. I am allergic to wheat and coconut and lactose intolerant. Every recipe I like calls for coconut like these granola bars (which I have missed) Any suggestions for an alternative to actual coconut? Did you know the new quinoa granola bars all contain wheat. I was hoping they could be an occasional indulgence but no such luck. The quinoa was a tasty alternative. Any recipes for quinoa granola bars? Love your stuff and am passing your website to the people I know who are looking for healthy alternatives.
