My recipe for gluten-free homemade energy bars

After reading the Blood Sugar Solution a few months back, I realized two things: I eat a lot of processed protein bars and it doesn’t have to be this way!

And I’ve been telling people about these bars recently so I got asked to post the recipe. This is as close to a recipe I can get…

I’ve used them for training and day-to-day nutrition. They are not cheap since I use a lot of quality ingredients but I know exactly what’s in them and they’re fun and easy to make. See the pic for last night’s batch.

They are also gluten-free and pretty healthy. And oh so yummy.

Here are the usual ingredients:

• A few cups of large flake oats
• A few table spoons of cocoa powder
• A few healthy dabs of peanut butter
• Some hemp hearts
• Some ground flax seed
• An egg
• A very healthy helping of dark chocolate chips
• A helping of protein powder
• Apple sauce
• A pinch of magic baking powder

Let me know if you try them or if you have any other great yummy and healthy recipes.

Happy eats!
