  • Quote: home made granola bar
    Yummmmmmmmm! Care to share your recipe?
  • Well, these are really more for my kids than "whole" though they aren't bad.
    1/2 C brown sugar
    1/2 C corn syrup
    1/2 C peanut butter
    1 t vanilla
    2 C rolled oats
    2.5 C cheerios (the original recipe called for rice krispies but I'm trying to make them more "whole"
    your favorite add ins-nuts, raisins, coconut,dried fruit, etc

    heat peanut butter, syrup and sugar until it comes to a boil, remove from heat and stir vanilla, oats and cereal, add add ins
    press in a pan and cut into squares, let cool-don't let it cool completely before you cut it or you won't be able to
  • Thanks, joyofsix. I think I'll experiment with replacing the sugar/corn syrup with agave nectar.
  • B1-cheerios, soymilk, banana, OJ (before run)
    B2-whole wheat toast, peanut butter, coffee w/ skim (after run)
    L-lentil soup, carrots, yogurt, dk chocolate
    S-yogurt, pear
    S-banana
    D-cheese tortellini w/ meatballs, marinara, & parmesan, broccoli, dk chocolate

    A 2 banana day!! Yes!! Trying to resist any more snacking, which should be OK since I'm not terribly hungry.

    The granola sounds great. You might also be able to substitute honey for some of the corn syrup to give it more of a Superfoods twist.
