So I'll admit, I buy the protein bars, energy gels and gator-ade to help with athletic performance. If I'm doing a long run or a big circuit workout I want to make sure that I have that little extra energy boost to get me to the end! I know many of you that are reading this probably do the same thing. Then you also know these products can cost a pretty penny. I've been playing around with different electrolyte drinks and energy bars lately. Making my own and saving some cash. Here's my latest. It's not bad, i'd definitely change a few things next time but I think the flavor is pretty good!
Brown Rice Bars
2 cups cooked brown rice
6 figs
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup cashews
1 TBSP sunflower seeds
1 TBSP chia seeds
2 TBSP sunbutter
2 TBSP honey
Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor; smooth into pan and freeze until set. Makes about 16 bars. I've already eaten 2 today. You could also bake these - 350 for 20-25 minutes.
These were made with all natural ingredients and are gluten free!
