30 Days of Snacks: Day 23 Nut Butter Protein Bars

September 12, 2013 by Chandra Filed Under: Blog, Recipes Leave a Comment

Day 23 Protein PB Bars Blog

Nut Butter Protein Bar
1 Cup  Shaklee Instant Protein Soy Mix  
1 cup  Old-Fashioned Oats – uncooked
2 Tbsp Ground flaxseed (for variation use wheat germ)
1/3 cup Honey
1 Cup Peanut Butter or Almond Butter
2 1/2 tsp Vanilla
2/3 cup    Nuts, raisins, dried apricots, cranberries or chocolate chips

Combine oats, protein & fiber in large bowl.  Set aside. Bring honey to a boil on stovetop.  Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Immediately add honey mixture to dry mixture until well incorporated.Stir/knead in dried fruit and press into an 8 X 8 square pan. Refrigerate 20 minutes or until firm.  If you want the quick version just mix all ingredients together without melting and refrigerate {this is what I do}.  You’ll need to get down and dirty like you do meatloaf and use your hands to mix all the ingredients.  We prefer the dried cranberries in ours, but the options are endless.  You could even top this with some dark chocolate for an added treat.

Cut into 12 bars or smaller bite-size squares and serve. Store bars in airtight container. {these are also freezable}. This recipe makes 15-20 servings, so even though you will want to eat the whole batch – don’t!!!  Each serving is about 212 calories so divy up the batch so you know when to stop.

TESTIMONIALS

Vitalizer, vita-strip is my go-to for daily health. I’m a busy, working mom and it’s so nice to know my supplements will come right to my doorstep. Some days are so hectic that I don’t have time to cook a healthy meal or exercise, but I know I’ve done something great for my body by taking Vitalizer. I even took it as a prenatal vitamin (along with some extra B complex) knowing it was safe and healthy for my baby and myself.

What an absolutely fun and educational class!  My daughter loved getting to control her veggie selections but also have the opportunity to try things she hadn’t before.  This class is an amazing perspective for kids to learn how to make healthy food choices.  She loved it so much that she made it at home and was so proud to pick the ingredients.  Thank you Chandra for making food fun!  My daughter can’t wait for the next class!

I have been eating pretty healthy for a while now, but typically get derailed by the end of the week due to being overwhelmed and under prepared.  I was lucky enough to be chosen to test pilot the Unjunk Your Diet program for the last 3 weeks and I love it!  I found that it was easy to follow, the meal organization tips helped me stay on track ALL week, the recipes are really delicious and simple to make, and as a side benefit I’ve lost 4 lbs!!!  I thought I felt good before, but my energy is through the roof these day….woohoo!!!

My 5 year old son loved the Healthy Hands cooking class and has told all of our family about how he got to cook “purple carrots.” He’s also telling them about all of the other veggies he tried and was so proud of his cooking skills he’s offered to cook for his grandparents the next time they are in town!  I loved that he was willing to try several new vegetables and would definitely recommend Chef Chandra to any mom who wants her family to start eating healthy!
