THESE BARS ARE LIFE.

I’ve been really into creating snacks.  I’m trying to avoid anything in a package.  So protein bars and all that jazz.  Thats kinda forcing me to get creative with my snacks and forcing me to get busy in the kitchen, which I’m ultimately loving.  So, LIVfit SuperFood Protein Blend has this amazing recipe on the back of their package.  That is where I got inspired by this recipe I created.  I made it my own and twisted it up a bit from what on the back of theirs.  Which both are equally as amazing.  This LIVfit Protein Blend I wrote about a few weeks ago. It’s a game changer, so go check that post out.

FOR WET INGREDIENTS

FOR DRY INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

  • Blend all wet ingredients together in a blender.  If you need to add a little more almond milk to make it creamy, then thats fine.  It will be thick and creamy.  Blend well!
  • Then in a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients together.
  • Pour wet mix into the dry mix, and mix all together making sure its blended. 
  • Then get a pan, and pour mix onto the pan.  Get some parchment paper, (or you can use your hands) and lay it down on the mix.  Then start pressing down making it flatter to cut into bars.  This mix will make 16 bars.
  • Set into fridge for 10 minutes before eating.  
  • Take it out of the fridge and take the bars carefully off the pan and into some tupperware.  Store in fridge until ready to eat.

MACROS

Calories per bar: 160, Carbs: 20, Protein: 5, Fat: 6

I’ll eat up to 2 bars for one snack.  They keep me fuller longer and so easy to grab and go.  So if you’re looking for something super easy, but don’t want the crap thats in regular bars, then try these!  I make them at the beginning of the week and I’ll usually have them up until Thursday, sometimes Friday.  Depending on if Oaks eats them too!  Which he loves them, so thats a plus!  

Healthy fat, good amount of protein, no hidden ingredients, you know what you’re getting, what more could you ask for in a Superfood bar?  I get all of my healthy organic ingredients at Better Body Foods!

Have a great day!

Okay, raise your hand if you want to know what the hell you’re putting in your body when eating a protein/granola bar?!  I DO.  And quite frankly sick of seeing BS on the ingredients.  So I’ve taken it upon myself to create my OWN protein bites, and guess what?  They’re even better than those processed bars (not saying I don’t eat them, from time to time)  but it’s nice to know what we’re putting in our bodies?  Not to mention, this is MUCH more affordable than those costly bars… some are $3 a bar.  That shit adds up REAL quick.  And I like to save that for my kombacha drinks.. haha.  And you guys, you put everything in a bowl, mix it up, roll into balls and done.  The most simple, yet healthy protein treats you’ll ever have.  k here are the deets.

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED

Makes 15-16 balls

DIRECTIONS

Step 1: Mix all ingredients into a medium size bowl besides almond milk.

Step 2: Add in 1/3 Cup Almond milk first.  If the mixture is to dry, add in a little more.  It should be slightly moist in order for it to form into balls, but not to wet.

Step 3: Form into about 1 inch sized balls.  The size depends on you, but I like mine enough to take 2 bites from.  

SO there you have it!  They’re the easiest to make.  Store them in the fridge until you’re ready to eat.  Oaks loves them too! It’s literally a win win for everyone.  I’m always l looking for easy, healthy and yummy treats to grab on the go.  

Let me know if you guys try them and love them!  Tag me in your post, or story!  

Have a great day!

xoxo
