I really like having energy bars on hand for when I don't feel like eating breakfast or I need to eat before a run. I only like to run on a mostly empty stomach but I don't want to be hungry. Perfect fix for when I don't want to eat a meal. This homemade mix and match version I found is even better than store bought. I found this mix and match chart here (page 69) for making your own bars. The link is to the online version of Hy-vee grocery stores magazine. Sure they make the magazine so you will go to their store and buy all the ingredients to make the recipes but it totally works on me. The recipes are great! I picked my ingredients based on what I already had in my cabinets. They turned out great so I'm planning on trying out different versions.
Energy Bars
2 cups oats
3/4 cup honey
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup ground flaxseed
1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup almond slivers
1 cup chopped dates
Hmm sounds like a good idea, those store bought bars have so much extra stuff in them. I just checked the magazine, I don't have any of the ingredients in 3 of the categories.. You have a well stocked kitchen.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I need some of those to sell at the old drum coffeehouse and bakery this summer :).
