Hey,

Wondered if anyone had a recipe for an energy bar I could use before going to the gym? They are so expensive and I would rather make my own if I can.

Would also be good if they could be stored in the freezer so I can make a big batch then defrost as I need them.

Thanks in advance! :smile:

    The ones on this page are probably pretty good as energy bars - high in protein from the nuts and natural sugar from the fruit. I made these this afternoon and they're yummy :happy:

    In brief:
    What i do for bars is:

    Take nuts and old fashioned oats, put on cookie sheet in the oven bake a bit, till oats start to brown.

    Then in a mixer: 1/2 peanut butter, 1/2 honey, and mix

    Add dried fruit, and the nuts and oats, mix very well...

    Put back onto cookie sheet, and back into oven, bake 20-40 mins.

    It's natural, nuts provide protien, and honey, dried fruit and especially the while grain of the oats give energy.

    Also, you could add supplements as well...

    Best luck!

    eatingwell.com has a bunch of recipes for energy bars, just search it and they should pop up. I haven't made anything on their site that I haven't liked!
