I don't know about you all but my boys LOVE bars (of any kind) and I struggle to find brands they like that aren't loaded with sugar and other additives. For instance, they love Z-bars and it wasn't until recently that I realized they have quit a bit of sugar in them!
On a positive note, I actually really like making and trying out different bar recipes. I also feel like there great for little helpers because you usually just mix everything in one bowl....SCORE!
Anyway, this morning I made Shakeology Breakfast Bars. If you don't have Shakeology, you can try a protein powder or maybe almond flour...if you do let me know how they turn out ;)
Ingredients (Makes 9 bars):
- 4 scoops Cafe Latte Shakeology
- 2 cups dry old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup (walnuts, almonds, seeds...whatever you like! We used pumpkin seeds this time)
- 1/2 cup raisins (or other dried fruit...I also added some Cocoa Nibs)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup (1 med. banana) mashed banana
- sprinkle of shredded coconut
Directions:
1. Combine Shakeology, oats, nuts, and dried fruit in a large mixing bowl; mix well
2. Add almond milk and banana; mix well
3. Press mixture into an 8x8 inch backing pan
4. Sprinkle with coconut, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
5. cut into 9 bars
6. ENJOY ;)
Have a great day Lovelies,
Deanna
