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

Method
 

  1. Get all those ingredients out. Trust me, it makes life easier.
  2. Grab a bowl and mix up the oats with the protein powder.
  3. In another bowl, let’s mix that honey into the peanut butter. It’s like they’re made for each other!
  4. Gently mix the honey and peanut butter combo into the oats and protein powder.
  5. Now, shower in the chia seeds, your chosen dried fruits, and those crushed almonds.
  6. Feeling indulgent? Time for those chocolate chips.
  7. Now, get a tray, line it with some parchment paper, and spread your mixture evenly.
  8. Pop it into the fridge. Check back in an hour.
  9. 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.
