[Guest guest]

Energy Bars (Unbaked)

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup wheat germ

1/2 cup oat bran

1/2 cup vanilla protein power

1 cup crunchy peanut butter

1 cup raisins (or dried fruit of your choice) chopped

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup light Karo syrup

Honey can be substituted for Karo and Carob chips for chocolate chips.

Mix all ingredients well. Pat out on wax paper into a large rectangle.

Take a large knife and divide into bar shaped rectangles. Put these in

Ziploc bags and freeze ‘til you need them. Simple. Easy.

As a great source of protein dried fruits like apricots, pineapple,

apples, banana chips, cranberries, raisins, figs, blueberries really add

to the flavor.

For some interesting crunch value add sesame, pumpkin, poppy, caraway,

sunflower seeds, as well as other organic food items. Mix it up to make

a terrific batch of great tasting gourmet energy bars.
