About the recipe
We all know that many athletes, especially younger ones, don 't always have the time to sit down and eat a balanced meal that will give them the fuel they need. As a result, many athletes turn to cereal bars or a quick bowl of overly sweet cereal.
The problem is that most of these bars and cereals lack protein and fiber, and are high in refined sugar. As a result, they are often just the wrong kind of calories, and can cause sudden blood sugar spikes followed by unwanted crashes.
A better option is to make your own energy bar. It may sound complicated, but I promise you, it's simpler than it looks. You don't need to know how to cook, as the recipe requires just 5 or 6 ingredients (most of which are already on hand) and a few hours in the fridge. The result is a delicious snack, increased performance and better long-term health.
