I made some substitutions, so am not rating. I substituted Oat Bran for natural bran, agave nectar for the brown sugar, oat milk for the skim and rice protein for the soy protein. As suggested, I added some dried berries. The texture was a little mushy; maybe I need to use a little less milk next time. Flavor is good.
