Energy Bars

Jump start your Monday with these no-bake energy bars. They are great for on the go, and a nice "pick me up" in the afternoon to help get you through the day! They keep in the fridge for about 5 days, so you can make enough to enjoy all week. 

Energy Bars:

• 1 cup, chopped dates (pitted)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 Tbsp. chia seeds
• 1 Tbsp. ground flax seed
• 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
• 1 cup, shelled pistachios
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup dried blueberries
• 1/4 cup yogurt chips

In a food processor, combine the dates, honey, chia seeds and flax seed. Pulse until you have a smooth mixture. You may need to add another tablespoon or two to achieve this consistency.

Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and stir in the oats, pistachios, cranberries, blueberries, and yogurt chips. 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Cut into bars and store in a sealed container all week.
