High Energy Homemade Food Bar
I’m not a big fan of food bars or “protein bars.” Most of them on the market today have a high sugar content, trans fats and other junk and simply don’t taste good. And one more thing, they are way over-priced.
So, I decided to take things in my own hands and create my own food bar. This way I can control which ingredients I use and know I am eating a healthier food bar. Yesterday I spent my evening creating my own recipe for a food bar with the help of my 5-year old daughter, Alicia.
The results were fantastic! My wife thought it was better than any other on the market. Give it a try! Here’s the recipe:
2 cups of raw oatmeal
1 cup of whey or soy protein powder
1/2 cup of flax seed
1/2 cup of wheat germ
2 cups of nuts (almonds are good)
1/2 cup of ground walnuts
1/2 cup of frozen blueberries
1 cup of honey
2 cups of peanut butter
3 ounces of soy milk
a few sprinkles of cinammon
Stir and mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Then, place in large plate and flatten and much as possible with a spatula. Cut into small pieces. Keep refrigerated. Enjoy!
