High Octane Bars
I have often wondered how to make a delicious and healthy bar for energy. I have recently been reminded of this recipe from Jenny Weber. This is a great bar for pre or post workout.
This recipe includes:
2 cups gluten free oats, 1 cup all natural peanut butter, 1 cup honey, 1 cup chocolat chips, 1 cup dried fruit (cranberries), 1 cup of milled flaxseed and 1 cup of vanilla whey protein powder. Mix all ingrediets together and stir until blended. Spread into a 8×8 dish and refrigerate. Cut and enjoy.
Seriously, these are delicious and healthy.

I was out shopping with my father today and was educating him on things to look for that may be listed in meats or meat products that may make them detrimental to our health. We were specifically looking at hot dogs, as he was on a mission for a ‘healthy’ hot dog. Amidst this process, I was teaching him about the dangers of nitrites that can be lurking in the ingredients, and so we specifically went on a mission to find a hot dog without the preservative nitrite. He was asking me why this was an important additive to look for, so I wanted to let everyone know about the dangers lurking in the additive nitrite. So read on and educate yourself!
