Homemade Chewy Bar Bites

Homemade Chewy Bar Bites

I kid you not…these bites (slash balls) taste exactly like the real deal….but made with far less ingredients and FAR BETTER! I made these for Sister and Sisterboy’s housewarming gift! Michelle will officially be moving back to Minnesota for her third year of law school! Right now, she is still deciding between The University of Minnesota and William Mitchell. Both great school and both closer to me than Colorado!

I made a double batch for this particular get together. Usually my ball recipes yield around 10-12 balls…this made around 20 bigger balls

Ingredients (yields 20 balls)

-1 cup quick cooking oats
-1 cup puffed brown rice
-1/3 cup chocolate chips
-1/2 cup almond butter, unsweeteened
-1/3 cup brown rice syrup

How to make Homemade Chewy Bar Bites

1. In a medium size bowl, mix together almond butter and brown rice syrup. If the almond butter is not drippy, throw it in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
2. Next, add the rest of the ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon.
3. Finally, form into balls. You may need to get your hands wet in order to do this because of the stickiness

*Note: If you are a big peanut butter fan- use peanut butter. The unsweetened almond butter is what gives the chewy bar bites it’s chew bar taste!

 I’ve made some progress on the different Fit Foodie Finds Pages (located at the top in the nav bar)…If you click on Trainer, you will see my teaching schedule. This pretty much only applies to Minneapolis/St. Paul residents. I’ve also updated the Press section…so if you are a brand that wants to work with me….you can rummage around that page 

My plan for the rest of the day is: obviously work, then I teach! and then I am going to study for my Ace GFI exam while I wait for Blake to get done with class.

One last thing before I go. This is the last call to get on my email list for my #BeAmazing MSP Running-Meet Up Group for April sponsored by the Women’s Running Series. I have not yet chosen a date, but will be sending out an email later this week. I know it will be on a Saturday or Sunday morning, and am going to send out a separate survey to those that are interested with a few different options. If you are interested…please fill out this form, I’d love for you to join in on the fun!

Happy Tuesday
