This recipe was inspired by fitnessgyro’s Mom’s recipe found HERE:
My Homemade No-Bake Energy Bars:
- 2-2.5 cup Old Fashioned Oats
- 2 tbsp Honey, melted (more or less, depends on your taste)
- 1 tbsp Flaxseed
- 20 natural almonds (or nut of choice), chopped
- 1tbsp chia seeds
- 2/3 dark chocolate bar (I used 70%), melted
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, melted
- 1/2 cup cranberries & golden raisins (or any dried fruit you want)
Directions:
Measure and mix flaxseed and chia seeds separately and put aside in a small bowl. Start with two cups of oats and toss in a large bowl. Melt honey and peanut butter together on medium in a sauce pan. (note: natural PB will harden in the microwave, I found this out the hard way). Once melted gradually pour the mixture while mixing oats to it coats them all, just keep mixing. If it’s to “wet” add 1/2 cup more oats. Once it’s all incorporated, toss in your dried fruit and mix. Next, slowly pour the chia and flaxseeds in mixing constantly. Spoon the whole mixture into a glass/ceramic baking dish. I used an 8x8 glass dish, but use whatever dish you have (I personally like my bars thicker). Press the mixture firmly into the pan until the whole pan is covered and firmly packed (use the bottom of a metal or hard wooden spoon). Then, take your chopped nuts and sprinkle around the dish and take spoon and press them (again with the bottom of the spoon) into the mixture so it’s all firm. You can elect to skip the chocolate. But if you are using chocolate, melt on medium and then spatula and spread chocolate lightly and evenly across whole mixture. Cover and stick in the fridge to solidify and in a few hours cut them and wrap them into portions or leave them in the pan covered in the fridge.
Any Questions? Enjoy!

Join the Health is Happiness 30 Day Smoothie Challenge today!
The challenge is to drink at least 1 smoothie per day for 30 days so that it becomes a part of your day to day lifestyle.
The challenge starts May 1st and ends May 30th. However you can still signup after May 1st and go for 30 days from your start date. So if you are late signing up, don’t worry about it! Join us.
The emphasis is on green smoothies but not every smoothie you drink has to be green. It can be a fruit smoothie, or even a richer one made with cacao. A green smoothie is a mix of delicious fruit and incredibly delicious greens blended with water. The recommended ratio is 60% fruits to 40% greens. This will assure that every smoothie you make will be deliciously balanced. Introducing more leafy greens into your diet is how you will benefit most from this challenge!
The smoothie can be a meal replacement such as breakfast, a snack, dessert, or even a post workout recovery. Note that the suggested minimum serving size of a smoothie is 500ml. Feel free to drink more in a day, especially if it is a green smoothie!
The key element that you need to participate in this challenge is a blender. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just make sure that it’s functioning!

Make frozen smoothie packs every Sunday to last the whole week. When you’re ready to enjoy a smoothie just pick a bag and blend! Simple and quick. I used to do something similar to this. Time to get back in the habit!
