The past couple of days we've gone over some basic ideas and concepts about nutrition and some ideas for snacks and good food choices. I wanted to share one of my all time favorite recipes (thanks to Pinterest for finding it!) that's wonderful for running (or any kind of activity) and taste absolutely delicious to boot! We've had some on hand at all times since we found the recipe, and we just have a bar (it's a few bites at most, but packed with good stuff!) before a run, or after, or whenever we need a boost!
These bars are so easy to make (food processor freaks, rejoice! That's all you need!), don't require baking at all, and keep for months in the freezer. They took me literally 10 minutes to make, start to finish (not including impatiently waiting for them to chill in the fridge for a while!). Plus, they are another great running snack (the creator called them a sort of homemade Lara Bar) thanks to the yummy and nutrition packed dates, almonds, and cranberries (I used raisins and cranberries, 'cause I'm a rebel like that I guess!). You can add in chocolate chips, substitute things and just try out different recipes until you find one you like. I even used pre packed, pre chopped, dried dates and added a small amount of water and olive oil (50-50) in as they mixed in the processor.
Thanks a ton to The Kitchn for the recipe!! Click here for the full recipe and other tips!
