RHONDA'S ROCKIN RECIPES

Phenomenol Protein Bars J

I found this great protein bar recipe and started using for my nutrition after workouts.  It is a little difficult to take it riding or running as it does get soft however it is fabulous for a pre-workout or post-workout snack.  The options are endless and I expect everyone who tries it to put their own twist on it.

Rhonda Eden, RHN

½ cup raw pumpkin or sunflower seeds

¼ cup sesame seeds, flax omega crunch or sesame seeds (I have used more than one and put a quarter cup of each.

¼ cup raw wheat germ (I have also used oat bran)

½ cup unsweetened coconut

¼ cup honey, raw, un-pasteurized

½ cup dried apricot and raisins (I have also substituted dates)

½ cup of your favorite nut butter (I like almond)

1-2 scoops of chocolate protein powder

1 tsp cinnamon, ground

Dash of seat salt, if desired

1.        In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients, except the honey, nut butter and salt.  Pulse until well-blended.

2.     Add honey, nut butter, and salt.  Blend until the mixture forms into a ball.  I have also mixed this by hand and used my hands to finish it off.

3.     Shape into bite-size balls or put them in a 8x8 pan and cut them into bars.  I keep them in the fridge.
