If I have three super ripe bananas, I just can’t do anything except make Banana Bread (especially if my mom is in town).

This recipe is super delicious, super easy and versitile. Feel free to substitute almond butter for peanut butter or change up the seeds with nuts (if i were using walnuts or other big nuts i would chop them).
If you have a little food processor, it is really nice to grind up the oatmeal some and also the raisins. The ground oatmeal helps make it less sticky and chopping or grinding the raisins helps hold it all together.
This recipe is easy to mix by hand if your PB is room temp. Otherwise, if you have a standing mixer, it is well worth the effort to use it! You can make this gluten-free by using gluten-free oats and granola.
1 cup raw oatmeal (optionally ground)
1 ½ cups granola
½ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup sesame seeds
½ cup coconut, finely shredded
½ cup raw honey
1 cup raisins (optionally ground or chopped)
1 ½ – 2 cups organic peanut butter (ideally room temp)
Directions
Protein Bars
1. Oil a baking 9×11 baking sheet
2. Place all dry ingredients in a large bowl or standing mixer. Mix to combine.
3. Add the wet ingredients and form into a firm paste. You may need to add more peanut butter or honey if the mixture is too dry. Add the chopped/ground raisins and mix.
4. Press the mixture into the oiled container.
5. Cover the pressed mixture with wax paper and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
6. Cut into 24 bars and serve.
Store in an air-tight container or wrap individually in plastic and store in the refrigerator.

The Spring energy is building with the longer days and, ahem, the lack of snow! With it comes the desire to do some cleansing – but what is appropriate? The weather is still cold so lots of fruit smoothies would be too cooling for our bodies. Save the longer deeper cleanse for when it’s hot during the summer. In the meantime, do a couple shorter cleanses.
Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, roasted root vegetables, cooked whole grains, beans and legumes and a little meat and fish. Read More
