Ingredients

  • Oats – A whole cup 240 ml
  • Peanut Butter – Good old half cup 120 ml
  • Honey – A quarter cup 60 ml should do
  • Protein Powder – Yep a full cup again (240 ml)
  • Chia Seeds – Just about 2 tbsp 30 ml
  • Dried Fruits – Half cup 120 ml, maybe a mix of raisins and cranberries?
  • Almonds – Crush ’em and take about a quarter cup 60 ml
  • Dark Chocolate Chips – A quarter cup 60 ml for that sweet touch
  • Time You’ll Invest: Roughly 15 mins of prep then just chill (literally) for an hour

Instructions

  • Get all those ingredients out. Trust me, it makes life easier.
  • Grab a bowl and mix up the oats with the protein powder.
  • In another bowl, let’s mix that honey into the peanut butter. It’s like they’re made for each other!
  • Gently mix the honey and peanut butter combo into the oats and protein powder.
  • Now, shower in the chia seeds, your chosen dried fruits, and those crushed almonds.
  • Feeling indulgent? Time for those chocolate chips.
  • Now, get a tray, line it with some parchment paper, and spread your mixture evenly.
  • Pop it into the fridge. Check back in an hour.
  • Once it’s all set, cut them up into bars or whatever shape tickles your fancy!

Notes

SOME FRIENDLY TIPS:
1. If your mix feels like the Sahara, a little extra honey or peanut butter should do the trick.
2. Go wild! Swap out some ingredients if you like. Make it your own.
3. Once done, store them in a tight container. We want them fresh for longer.
HOW TO BEST ENJOY THEM:
Pre-workout? Perfect!
Midday slump? Grab a bar and a cuppa!
Running late? Don’t skip breakfast; grab a bar.
