Easy oatmeal and honey protein bars.

Sometimes I just do a half batch in an 8X8" pan.

Oatmeal and honey protein bars.

1 1/2 c. honey

2 c. nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew etc.)

1 c. vanilla protein powder 

4 c. rolled oats

Stir together honey and nut butter with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add protein powder of your choice and stir until well mixed. Add oats. Mix thoroughly and spread in lightly sprayed 9X13" pan. Chill well; cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!

I like to use DoTerra Trimshake, or vanilla whey powder, or Garden on Life Raw Meal Shake. You can also use Carnation Instant Breakfast powder instead.

This is a versatile recipe which can be bedazzled. Substitute some of the oats with:

-chia seeds

-sunflower seeds

-dried berries or cherries (I LOVE Trader Joe's freeze dried blueberries!)

-nuts

-coconut

-chocolate chips 

-wheat germ

-sesame seeds

My kids wrap these in a piece of foil and carry them to school as a recess snack. I love to control the ingredients and the cost. Homemade is always best, and it's even better when it's this easy. Enjoy!
