High Fuel Energy Bars

11/10/2014

This one may take a few extra minutes to prepare, but it is super easy to make. The bonus is that it provides a boost of healthy energy along with a generous helping of protein and fiber. These are great before or after the gym, when you are on the run or when you have to skip a meal but don’t want to miss out on your healthy nutrients. These can be a meal replacement.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup crunchy granola cereal
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup flax seeds
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup wheat germ
  • ½ cup bran
  • ½ cup protein powder
  • ½ cup walnuts or pecan
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 cup peanut butter (natural is better)

Directions:


Oil 9X13 pan and set aside.  Mix all the dry ingredients.  Ina saucepan over medium heat, stir the peanut butter, honey, maple syrup, till smooth and hot.  Do not boil.  Quickly pour contents over dry mixture and thoroughly mix.  Place into oiled pan and press down to mold pan.  Let sit for 24 hours in the refrigerator.  Cut into bars. Great protein and fiber! Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite snacks. Over the next couple of weeks I will share a few more healthy winter recipes and also provide some other tips on “winterizing” yourself for the cold months ahead.

To your health!

    Welcome to my Blog!

    Thanks for checking out my blog. I have had a life-long interest in all things related to health and wellness, which is part of the reason I became a massage therapist. I am constantly on a mission to increase my knowledge and I like to share what I learn with others. My hope is that these posts will be interesting and provide you with information and tips that can improve your health. If I can ever answer a question or if you think you might benefit from therapeutic massage, please give me a call or send me a note.
