No Bake - Energy Bar


My Fiancé and I decided to have a little sweet and gooey fun in the kitchen the other day. (oh seriously, get your mind out of the gutter). He recently found a recipe in Liberty Sports Magazine for a no-bake energy bar and wanted to give it a try. I have limited "skills" in the kitch, so a "no-bake" recipe sounded pretty good to me.


We followed this recipe and could hardly wait the two hours while the bars "set" in the fridge. Seriously, you try mixing peanut butter, honey, cocoa, raisins, sunflower seeds, etc.. together with out starting to salavate. Not to mention we're not really the most patient people on the planet. Well, at least I'm not. But in two hours we had tasty - gooey perfection in the form of a home made energy bar.


So, the recipe was quick and painless and if you can control yourself enough not to eat the whole tray at once, the bars pack quite a nice energy boost! We added a few scoops of soy protein powder for some extra kick. You can do all sorts of things with it to make it your own.. so, thanks Phill Etheridge from Liberty Mag for sharing a recipe that he already ripped off from racedaynutrition.com . :) Sharing is caring!


Happy NO baking, ya'll! :)
