I do not know about you all, but my life has been crazy the last few weeks. I have missed blogging and talking with you all. This last week has reminded me how important it is to have time for yourself. Have time for yourself to stay healthy, happy, and sane. Sharing my tips with you all makes me you happy and I hope you are all continuing to maintain your healthy and fit lifestyle.
I have had the pleasure of getting this recipe from my good friend Becci! She gave me this wonderful healthy "bar" recipe for a great healthy snack on the go!
I hope you love it too! and BIG thank you to Becci...You ROCK!
Becci’s No Bake Energy Bars
Dry Ingredients:
· 1 ¾ C rolled oats
· 1 C crisp puffed brown rice cereal
· ¼ C pumpkin seeds
· ¼ C sunflower seeds
· ¼ C chia seeds
· ¼ C unsweetened coconut
· 1/8 C finely ground flaxseed
**You can also add ¼ C of dried fruit if you like (cranberries, blueberries, cherries, etc.)
Wet Ingredients:
· ½ C brown rice syrup (you could also try pure maple syrup, agave or honey.. they might not bind quite as well, but you can try)
· 1/3 C peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
· 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions:
1) Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix together.
2) In a separate (microwave safe) bowl, mix together the wet ingredients, then microwave them for about 20-30 seconds. This will make it easier to mix and add to dry ingredients.
3) Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix. Keep mixing until all wet ingredients bind to dry. Use your muscles!
4) Put the mixture into a shallow pan and flatten down with the back of a spatula.
5) Refrigerate and then cut into bars. You can store in the pan or in individual containers/wrapping.
