Energy Snack Protein Bars

I bought Alpen all natural muesli apple-raisin chai, and kinda got bored with it so I decided to make some Energy Bars, and they turned out pretty good!

Energy bars with protein, fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and other good stuff!




 I used two cups of Alpen all natural muesli apple-raisin chai (or any granola of your choice), 1 cup of natural peanut butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tbs honey(optional), 2 Tbs white chocolate (optional) mix together, layout on wax paper, and freeze for about an hour!

Kiwi-Banana-Mint Smoothie

Rich in Vitamin A, C, B6, E, K, as well dietary fiber Kiwi's are amazing. The seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids. Some studies have suggested that eating a few Kiwi's a day can help thin and reduce fat in the blood which lowers the risks of blockages.




Below is a smoothie recipe that I made this morning. It tasted pretty good, the mint gives it a fresh flavor! 
2 kiwis
1 banana
4 mint leaves
1/2 cup ice

Shred!
