Homemade Energy Bars

Food:
9.30am - Smoothie with banana, mango, almonds, chia seeds, flax oil, brown rice protein powder, honey, ice, 1 cup coffee
2.30pm - 1 energy bar (banana, peanut butter, brown rice protein powder, walnuts, almonds, pecans, raisins, dark chocolate, spelt flour, black beans, adzuki beans.
7.30pm - 1 piece multigrain toast w/ homemade hummus, wasabi, white wine vinegar, romaine lettuce and grilled kingfish 

Exercise:
12.30pm - 30 mins abs yoga

In case you haven't noticed (who am I talking to?) I find all of my yoga videos on youtube. Exercise is free, people! No need for an expensive gym membership.

So I made the energy bars today, and I have to say... meh. Yeah they are ok, they do taste very "healthy", and I think next time I make them I will adjust my measurements a bit. The good thing about that website is that he gives a "formula" instead of a recipe so you can adjust it each time to your tastes. For my first attempt, I'd say they're not bad. I think what is deceptive is that they really look just like brownies, so my eyes are like OMG YUM but they don't taste anything like brownies at all. Best to remember that they are Energy Bars - not dessert. I think I will try eating one before my run tomorrow morning.

Ingredients I used (listed in the caption under picture):

Oatmeal, maple syrup, spelt flour, almonds, walnuts, vanilla essence, almond essence, cinnamon, raisins, peanut butter, brown rice protein powder, banana, black beans and adzuki beans, and a few dark chocolate chunks (not pictured)

Final result:

NOT BROWNIES. But still acceptable.
