A BETTER Snack Bar

These to me resemble granola bars. They are a pretty good choice for a post workout snack for all those who are on the go, hitting up their workouts in the early morning or lunch time at Action Conditioning.
These bars have none of the added bull$#!& fillers, preservatives and collagen!
Yes collagen! Collagen is added to keep the "protein" in the protein bars you purchase off the shelf soft! Additionally collagen really lowers the protein's value to, well....crap. So please STOP chowing down those bars, make your own. Live longer, feel better:-)

2 cups large leaf oats
1/2 cup crushed walnuts
1/2 cup Joe's Vitality Mix
4 scoops whey protein (flavour your choice, I like chocolate)
2 tbsp unpasteurized honey
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup E.D. Smith sugar free Maple Syrup

- Chop up walnuts and Joe's Mix
- Mix in a bowl oats, walnuts, Joe's mix, and whey powder
- Add in the honey, syrup, vanilla extract and salt
- Stir until all is mixed up well....at first you will think it is way to dry, "good" your doing it right....keep on
mixing and it will blend up just right
- Get out your baking dish or as I used muffin dish and coat it with a cooking spray or rub on a high heat cooking oil
- now scoop the mixture onto/into the sheet/muffin cups and spread it out evenly about 1 inch thick roughly
- Bake at 325-350 degrees F for about 8-10min depending on your oven
