        As somewhat of a health-nut I looked at many of the recipes and found that I was disappointed in their content as their protein sources were often singular. While some may argue that as long as the protein is complete it should not matter, but I feel as though reliance on a singular source of protein is foolish and so I sought to create a recipe that contained multiples sources of protein. Included was whey, pea protein and soy in addition to the protein in the oat flour. A consequence of this is that the iron and manganese are elevated. However it should be noted that most of this is from food based sources. There are no documented cases of manganese toxicity from food sources. The iron in this recipe is also exceedingly high for my purposes, but iron is not 100% absorbed by the system and the presence of soy diminishes iron and manganese absorption so it seems doubtful that these inflated numbers will be of any consequence. 
        Many of the recipes I have found on here have used soybean oil or canola oil as their primary sources of fat. However, I find both sources to be overly processed and not conducive to a health-oriented lifestyle. I have been a huge fan of hemp oil for years now as it has a nutty flavor and an idea ratio of Omegas 3-6-9. It is considered to be one of natures perfect oils and while it does drive the price up, I consider this to be a worthy expense. 
        As you can see the start up cost of this recipe is incredibly high, but that is because in order to off-set the cost of the varied ingredients I needed to benefit from buying in bulk. At $6.38/day it is easy to see that this is a cost-effective source of calories in a 40-30-30 ratio of macros.
