Nut Butter Power Bars
Ingredients:
2 C quick oats or old fashioned
1 C natural peanut butter, almond butter or other variety
1 C honey
1 C dried fruit (cranberries, blueberries, raisins, apricots, etc)
1 C ground flaxseed
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (I used NNW Healthy Whey)
Instructions:
Mix all ingredients together and stir until blended Spread mixture into a 13x10inch pan and refrigerate until ready to serve. Store in fridge for 1 to 2 weeks or freeze for later use. I like to cut and wrap into individual portion sizes for a quick on-the-go or pre/post workout snack. If you cut into 32 bars each serving is about 170 calories. Keep in mind the dried fruit and nut butter will make a higher calorie snack, especially if your bars are larger.

I make something similar, except use a whole cup of whey instead of a scoop, and instead of dried fruit, throw in a handful of mini dark chocolate chips. Better than any granola bar you can buy in the store!
