Super Bars

SUPER BARS : caution will make you row super fast


















These bars are basically everything but the kitchen sink: I used a 8 1/2'' x5'' baking sheet and cut up into 9 bars, all with about 200 calories and 15 g of protein (from rice, chia, oats). When I make these I just use estimations - I use a whole thing of agave nectar and almond butter, throw in handfuls of oats, and just pour my protein powder in - I measured this time to give you specifics, but essentially you want the consistency of a cliff bar and if it is too dry you add agave or almond butter, if it is too wet you add protein powder and oats.

for 9 bars:
-1/2 c agave nectar/ or molases/honey (a wet sugar)
-1 1/2 c almond butter
-4 tbsp coconut oil
-9 servings of protein powder
-1/2 c dried fruit (I used "ends and pieces" from TJ's these are the left over pieces from the fiberful fruit and veggie bars - but you can use whatever you want, I also used dehydrated sour cherries)
-1 c oats
1/2 C mix: chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, chocolate nibs/chips, coconut shavings

Throw everything into a bowl and mix until all ingredients are completely smooshed together and a "bar" like consistency - smoosh into the glass pan and then cut up into the size you want - store in the fridge or freezer if you are not going to eat right away.
