Energy Sustaining Breakfast Bars

ENERGY SUSTAINING BREAKFAST BARS

This recipe was inspired from a diet recipe for breakfast bars. I took that recipe and turned it upside down, added fiber, protein, antioxidants and lots of healthy goodness. These are incredibly easy to make and keep on hand for grab-and-go mornings. (sara snow)

INGREDIENTS

* 2 ½ cups old fashioned organic quick oats

* ½ cup whole flax seed

* ¼ cup organic dark cocoa power (or slightly less)

* ½ cup natural peanut butter

* ½ cup honey

* ½ t spirulina

* ½ - 1 cup HOT water
