No Bake Protein Bars
*2 cups dry oatmeal
*6 tbs whey protein powder
*1/2 cup peanut butter
*1/3 cup water
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, and then press into a pan lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate before cutting.
Yogurt Cereal Bars
*2 cups corn flakes
*1/4 cup brown sugar
*1/2 tsp of cinnamon
*1/2 cup butter
*1 cup yogurt (I use plain and add blueberries)
*1/2 ripe banana
*3/4 cup + 2 tbsp flour (I use whole wheat)
Combine cereal, 3/4 cup flour, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Press half of the mixture into a greased 8x8 dish. Mix yogurt, blueberries, banana, and 2 tbsp flour in another bowl. Spread over cereal mixture in dish. Sprinkle remaining cereal mixture on top. Bake for 30 minutes at 350.
All Natural Popsicles
Measurements depend on how many molds you have. Use double the amount of fruit to yogurt.
Ingredients:
*BioBest plain yogurt (I like this because it is 90% lactose free and my daughter is lactose intolerant)
*Frozen/fresh fruit (Your choice)
*Optional-small amount of honey for those older kids who know what real popsicles taste like :)
Some fruit combinations I like are mango/peach, strawberry/banana and blueberry/honeydew melon.
Put in blender, place in molds and wait. I always find the plastic sticks that come with popsicle molds don't work well so I use wooden ones instead.
