EASY ENERGY BARS

This was given to me by a friend, I was really surprised at how much it really helps when I feel tired. I keep mine in the freezer then pull a couple out when I need a pick-me-up and they are ready for me to eat. You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter, if desired.

NO-BAKE EASY ENERGY BARS

Designed for hiking and backpacking trips, these bars are high in protein and clean carbs, do not require refrigeration, and travel very well in the pack. I recommend using non-pasteurized (living) honey, natural peanut butter with as little additives as possible, and quick oats.
