Okay, so I have mentioned before how we love energy bars and such. However it can be quite a costly endeavor to keep our stash at optimum.
Therefore, I have been experimenting with making my own to save my husband and I some money.
I decided to start simple by using the recipe posted by my dear friend and fellow fitness enthusiast, Khrystle at www.activeventura.com
Here are the ingredients I used:
As you can see these bars call for very few items. You can also add chocolate chips. Khrystle recommends whey protein-I went with Hemp which may not be as tasty.
The finished product:
So easy, so simple, so cheap, and so good!
Please check out www.activeventura.com for the complete recipe.
Off to start the day…….
MMM…
Ok – can we trade a bar? I would love to know what hemp protein tastes like.
Wow, that looks ahh-mazing! Inevitably these things always end up looking kinda like hamster food, but I’m sure it’s delicious…
Khrystle,
we can definitley swap bars. apparently hemp protein is more easily utilized by the body and it promotes an alkaline environment.
I haven’t made an attempt to make energy/protein bars at home yet.
I posted some stuff about dry brushing tonight in case you are interested.
I’ll bet the Hemp and Almond Butter go together pretty well.
I’m going to try these… I just need to re-stock my Hemp protein and I will have everything I need. I do have some Hemp seeds though, I bet I could add those instead and make it work… hmmmm.
And I’ve been meaning to tell you that I made your Vegetarian Chili last weekend and have been having it for lunch this week. It is SOOOO good!!! I left out the brown sugar and added cumin. Mmmmm good!!
